During the September 17 premiere of DWTS season 33, Brooks Nader made headlines by clearing up her relationship status. Nader, 27, who has recently been linked romantically to Greek Prince Constantine Alexios, shared that she is “newly single” and focusing on her dancing journey. When explaining her choice to perform to Britney Spears’ hit “Piece of Me”, she described the lyrics as “super liberating”, reflecting her current stage of life.
“I’m newly single, so the lyrics are super liberating,” Nader told viewers, noting that she’s putting her focus into dancing. This fresh start in her personal life coincides with her return to the world of dance, something she was passionate about during high school before shifting her career toward modeling.
Nader joked about reigniting her relationship with dance, saying, “I dumped [dance] for a while, but I gotta take back that ex and run their life.” She expressed excitement about rediscovering her love for the art form through her partnership with Gleb Savchenko.
Addressing Romance Rumors with Gleb Savchenko: While rumors have swirled regarding potential romantic sparks between her and her DWTS partner Gleb Savchenko, both have downplayed any such speculation. In the show, Brooks acknowledged their on-stage chemistry but kept it lighthearted, quipping that “it doesn’t hurt to have a healthy little flirtatious vibe” with Savchenko, whom she described as “so hot.”
Savchenko also spoke about their partnership, emphasizing that the two are focused on the competition. “We have a lot of fun,” he shared, with Nader adding, “and it’s obviously all about dancing. That’s what we’re here to do.”
Ahead of the premiere, Savchenko had confirmed to Page Six that there was no romantic involvement between them, despite their “amazing chemistry” on the dance floor.
Brooks Nader’s Relationship History: Before being romantically linked to Prince Constantine Alexios earlier this year, Nader was married to Billy Haire, an advertising executive. The couple wed in 2019 but separated in 2022 after three years of marriage.
Her connection to Prince Constantine emerged in June 2024, when Nader brought him as her date to the high-profile wedding of Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey. While rumors of a budding romance between Nader and the Greek royal sparked excitement in the media, Nader’s recent comments on DWTS suggest that she is now fully embracing her single status.
About Gleb Savchenko: Gleb Savchenko, Nader’s partner on DWTS, has also made headlines in the past for his personal life. He was married to fellow dancer Elena Samodanova for over a decade before the two divorced in 2020. The former couple share two children, Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7. Most recently, Savchenko was linked to model Elena Belle, whom he brought as his date to Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev’s wedding in 2023.
The Competition Heats Up: As Nader takes on the ballroom alongside an eclectic cast, including celebrities such as Eric Roberts, Tori Spelling, and Dwight Howard, she’s looking to make her mark on the competition. While her journey on DWTS has just begun, Nader’s single status and her drive to reconnect with dance seem to signal a transformative period for the model.
As she embarks on this new chapter, one thing is clear: Brooks Nader is ready to conquer the dance floor and leave her mark in season 33 of Dancing With the Stars.
