“DWTS” pro Gleb Savchenko reacts to rumors about a relationship with Brooks Nader after a flirting video

They are just here to dance!

Gleb Savchenko denies rumors that he is dating his season 33 “Dancing With the Stars” partner Brooks Nader after the two shared several flirty videos on social media to promote the new season.

The 40-year-old professional dancer exclusively told Page Six on Friday that while the 27-year-old model is “great” and the chemistry between the two in the ballroom is “amazing,” there is no romantic interest between them.

Right now they are just focused on winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, he added.

Meanwhile, Nader's representative declined to comment.

TMZ first reported the news.

The Russian choreographer added that he has no plans to date anyone at the moment and wants to remain single for now.

Savchenko and Nader were officially announced as partners for the upcoming season of the dance competition series in early September.

The duo quickly made waves this week after posting some steamy videos on social media featuring the entire cast to promote the episode's premiere night on September 17.

In a TikTok clip Nader shared on Monday, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit darling was seen sitting on Savchenko's lap with his arm wrapped tightly around her waist.

Fans flooded the comments section to express their suspicions that a romance was heating up.

“Oh they are going to get together,” one person commented on the post.

“We get it, you've already slept together 💀,” joked a second fan.

“Are these two single? Are we getting a love story?” wondered one netizen, while another trolled: “LMAO the producers knew exactly what they were doing.”

Additionally, the two were spotted sharing a tight embrace after a rehearsal in West Hollywood, California, over the weekend, fueling speculation of a “showmance.”

As previously reported, Savchenko is single after he and his ex-girlfriend Elena Belle split in March after nearly three years of dating.

“Yes, Elena and I broke up about a month ago,” Savchenko told Page Six exclusively in April. “It just happened. People always say life happens, and sometimes I think, 'How could this even happen?'”

The “DWTS” pro said he and the Swedish model “had an incredible time together” and that he “still loves her very much” to this day.

“She's a great mother, she's a great person and everything. It's just the timing,” he said of Belle, who has a daughter from her previous marriage to her late husband, Michael Theanne.

“We were together for almost three years and I had the best time of my life with her. There are certain things that just didn't work out,” he added.

Savchenko was previously married to dancer Elena Samodanova from 2006 to 2020. They had a controversial separation after she accused him of cheating.

They have two daughters together: Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.
