BROOKS Nader and Gleb Savchenko’s whirlwind romance has come to an abrupt end – leaving her friends’ ‘worst fears’ coming true, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
The Dancing With the Stars couple began heating up the ballroom a couple of weeks into season 33 and continued to pack on the PDA for the cameras until their elimination last Tuesday.

Just a week after their DWTS run came to a screeching halt, it appears their romance ended nearly just as quickly.
“Brooks and Gleb broke up if you can even call it that,” a source told The U.S. Sun.
“They were never serious, they had insane chemistry and really fell hard for each other but it was still not exclusive or serious, if that makes sense.
“At least from Brooks’ perspective… but Gleb recently made the call to slow things down, whatever that means because again they weren’t exclusive.
“They still have appearances for [DWTS] coming up so it’s not like they won’t have to work together again, they will which is slightly awkward.”
Brooks, 28, and Gleb, 41, are expected to return to the ballroom for the season finale – which traditionally invites all past contestants from that year to perform a group number together.
In terms of how Brooks is coping with the split, the insider claimed: “Brooks was pretty embarrassed for a hot second because her friends warned her of exactly this and their worst fears came true of getting dumped by a f**kboy.
“At the same time though, she knows she’s the s**t, she’s happy with her life right now and is focused on having fun and her next career opportunity.

“Overall I think she thinks this whole thing has been amusing and is just living her life.”
As far as a future between the two, the source said: “She doesn’t hate Gleb. They’re very friendly still.
“So the door is open to them getting back at it. I think this has been a wakeup call to not trusting him so much though.”
Brooks seemingly confirmed her split from the pro dancer when she posted a sassy TikTok that left her followers “gagged.”
“When he’s breaking up with me but I never knew we were dating,” she captioned the video.
After weeks of teasing their situationship earlier this season, Brooks and Gleb appeared to solidify suspicions with a kiss during an October episode as they were spotted locking lips backstage on set.
At the time, The U.S. Sun reported that while Brooks was “really starting to fall for Gleb,” her friends were growing more and more concerned.
“Her friends are worried Gleb is just using her. In the past there’s been rumors of him hooking up with his partner. And he does seem so charming and slick.
“Everyone around her is afraid and warning her that after the season ends, so will his interest in her but she isn’t listening to anyone that he’s such a playboy.”
MAKES YOU INK
Despite their relationship being so brief, it certainly left a permanent mark as earlier this month, the couple got matching tattoos together.
Following one of their DWTS performances, Brooks and Gleb were spotted together getting inked on a late-night date.
At one point, Gleb even held the needling pen and drew the tattoo on Brooks’ lower hip as she laid on the shop’s bed.

“I’m not going to say what the tattoo is of, but it has a special meaning. It’s a little symbol, and it means something special,” she told UsWeekly.
“I think [choosing the placement] was a joint effort. I wanted it to be someplace that not everyone sees, and so that’s what we chose.”
Gleb has not yet spoken out about the split, but appears to be in good spirits as he shared a video laughing during rehearsals with other DWTS pros in the ballroom today.
