Brooks Nader and her former Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko had a tumultuous relationship that ended in 2025 after Nader accused Savchenko of cheating. In a recent interview, Savchenko shared his own explicit claims about their intimate life, saying Nader was 'so f***ed up' and even chipped his tooth during one of their encounters. The couple met on DWTS Season 33 and dated for about seven months before breaking up for good.
