Brooks Nader Drops Bombshell About Fling With Gleb Savchenko

Model and reality TV newcomer Brooks Nader is baring it all, and not just on the runway. The 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star is giving fans a raw look into her personal life with the premiere of her new series “Love Thy Nader,” where she opens up about her whirlwind romance with “Dancing with the Stars” pro Gleb Savchenko. The relationship, which quickly became a talking point for fans and her family alike, played out in real time on camera, from fiery passion and PDA-filled moments to the tension it caused within her tight-knit Southern family. On the show’s debut episode, Nader got candid with her sisters about just how fast things escalated with Savchenko, leaving them stunned.

Brooks shocked her sisters, Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane, when she admitted that she and Gleb wasted no time taking things to the next level.

“He was in me day one!” she confessed, laughing as her siblings pressed her about the fast pace of the romance. She also revealed Gleb had been staying “indefinitely” in their shared New York City apartment, a move that left her sisters stunned.

“It’s a very hot and heavy relationship,” Mary began cautiously, only for Brooks to fire back, “So? That’s hot and sexy.”

The model contrasted her newfound passion with her past marriage. “I met my ex-husband when I was 19 years old. I was with him until I was 27, and going from that to the hottest guy I’ve ever seen in my entire life… we have the craziest, wildest sex ever.”

Despite Brooks’ excitement, her sisters weren’t convinced the romance was built to last. Mary warned that Brooks was “blinded by love,” calling Gleb’s doting behavior a form of “love bombing.”

Brooks wasn’t having it, insisting, “He dotes on me, he worships me, and it’s a bad thing? It sounds amazing.”

The intensity of the couple’s chemistry raised eyebrows beyond her sisters. At Brooks’ Hudson Jeans launch, Gleb straddled and kissed her in front of her father, Breaux, and dad wasn’t impressed.

“A little bit over the top,” he quipped. “Follow our example. You know, we may hold hands a little bit, but that’s about it.”

Still, Gleb told Breaux he wanted his blessing to marry Brooks, even joking to the cameras, “It’s harder than getting the U.S. visa.”

Over dinner, he pushed to move in with Brooks, describing Breaux’s reaction as “a little cold.” Brooks brushed it off as her dad being protective, telling Gleb, “We will always work out, unless you do something horrible.”

Brooks first met Gleb when they were paired on “Dancing with the Stars,” and sparks flew instantly. Even after their October split, the pair spent Thanksgiving together, confirming their on-again status with cozy holiday videos of them dancing and kissing.

The romance reached tattoo-level commitment when the duo got matching ink on their abdomens. But by mid-November, Brooks admitted she was already getting hers removed, calling it a “lapse in judgment.”

When asked whether the fiery fling was just for cameras, Brooks pushed back, “There are levels to every relationship. We were spending 6 to 7 hours a day, 7 days a week together rehearsing, so you obviously grow a bond with somebody. And, it’s such an intimate thing, ballroom dancing. I’m really bad at faking things.”

The 28-year-old model was spotted out with her sisters on August 20, and when paparazzi pressed her on whether she thought she had a hand in Gleb’s exit from the hit ballroom competition, Brooks gave a sharp reply, “He got himself fired, probably.”
