Brooks Nader was spotted straddling her former Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, at a rehearsal for the Dancing With the Stars finale.

Emma Slater, a dance pro on the ABC competition, took to Instagram Stories on Monday, November 25, to share a photo of the pair making out. And Alfonso Ribeiro, the show’s host, posted a video in his Stories of Nader, 28, and Savchenko, 41, looking madly in love following their breakup last month. 

“Alright, everybody, this is driving me nuts,” Ribeiro, 53, said from the neon-lit Dancing stage. “These people — these two! — they took us on a whirlwind. On social media. All this stuff, everything going on! And then all of a sudden, there they are.”

He panned his camera phone toward Nader straddling Savchenko, each grinning in their casual rehearsal clothes. Nader tossed her head back and laughed.

“This is ridiculous,” Ribeiro complained. “We went on the journey! And then it was over.”

Us confirmed that Nader and Savchenko were “hooking up” amid their stint on DWTS season 33. Days after getting matching tattoos and being eliminated from the reality series, a source told Us that their romance had fizzled out. “Gleb ended things, but Brooks is continuing to live her best life,” the insider said in October.

Since their split, Nader and Savchenko have jokingly referenced their showmance via TikTok, with some fans speculating that the twosome were filming in the same location. They fueled reconciliation rumors on Saturday, November 16, when they were seen at the Los Angeles hotspot Chateau Marmont.

After that sighting, Savchenko explained to Us that he and the model were just having “some creative meetings.”

“We’re performing next week,” Savchenko said at the 11th annual American Reality Television Awards on November 18. “We’re getting together. We’ve had some zoom calls and we talk about the choreography, talk about the costumes and the music and what we’re doing.”

Savchenko told Us that he and Nader are dancing a rumba in the finale, set to air in Tuesday, November 26, at 8 p.m. Eastern.

“We chose to perform our last dance together as a rumba, the dance of love,” he said. “It’s gonna be very special and I’m very much looking forward to it.”

Regarding their tattoos, Savchenko said that he’s “absolutely not” removing his — despite Nader telling TMZ that she’s “in the process” of getting rid of her matching ink.

On November 19, a source exclusively told Us that the duo “are on good terms and still have insane chemistry but are definitely not getting back together. There’s no rekindled romance going on.”

The insider added Nader and Savchenko “have to rehearse for the DWTS finale together” so they are “cordial right now.”

“Their relationship was an abrupt breakup, but they have cleared the air,” the source said. “Brooks is happily single right now and didn’t think they were serious to begin with.”
