Brooks Nader Has Savage Response When Asked Who Should Be Ex Gleb’s New ‘DWTS’ Partner (Exclusive)

Brooks Nader had a savage response when asked who ex Gleb Savchenko’s next Dancing With the Stars partner should be.

“Not even gonna answer that,” Nader, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly when asked who should be paired with Savchenko, 41, at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. “I don’t wish that on anyone.”

While she’s no longer competing on the ABC reality competition series, Nader encouraged other celebrities to join — and thinks she has an idea of who could be the next recipient of the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

“I think that if anyone has the opportunity to be on the show they should be on it,” she said. “I loved Steve Irwin’s son [Robert Irwin]. He was awesome. I met him at the Hulu Unscripted house. I’m so happy for him, he had a huge snake at the event and he is going to crush it. I have a weird feeling that maybe he’s going to win or something. I don’t know. It seems like he’s committed to the craft.

After Nader was cast on DWTS in 2024, she and Savchenko quickly hit it off. As the season progressed, a source exclusively told Us in September 2024 that Nader and Savchenko were “hooking up.” The twosome would go on to date on and off for months.

Most recently, Nader’s sister shared dirty details of the romance, claiming that the model and Savchenko would have sex on set of DWTS and joked that the trailer would be “shaking” every time.

“I haven’t spoken to her since that interview,” Brooks quipped to Us of Grace Ann, who made the claim during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast earlier this month. “I don’t plan to speak to her ever again, maybe. Although, it’s hard because we’re filming a show together. Lemme check back in with you in a few weeks and tell you how that’s going.”

Nader and Savchenko were eliminated from DWTS in October 2024 and their whirlwind romance officially came to an end in April.

“I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” Savchenko said at the time. “The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”

Since their split, Nader noted that she’s looking for a new partner — whether that’s a man or woman.

“Maybe it’s a Mr., maybe it’s Mrs., I don’t even know. Who knows?” Nader shared with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. “My sister keeps telling me I gotta switch teams. She’s over me with the guys.”
