Gleb Savchenko had thoughts about proposing to Brooks Nader during their “hot and heavy” relationship.
The Love Thy Nader series premiere on Tuesday, August 26, focused a lot on Brooks’ past romance with the Dancing With the Stars pro. Savchenko, 41, even brought up his future plans with Brooks, 28, during a conversation with her dad, Breaux Nader.
“We’re getting married,” Savchenko said, as Breaux, 51, could be seen shaking his head.
“You’ve gotta drive to Baton Rouge to meet my parents,” Breaux said when discussing “permission” to propose. “We might institute cousins for this one.”
Savchenko joked that the process to marry Brooks was “harder than getting a U.S. visa.”

During Tuesday’s Love Thy Nader episode, Brooks broke down the difference between her ex-husband, Billy Haire, and Savchenko. (Brooks and Haire were married for four years before their separation in May 2024.)
“I met my ex-husband when I was 19 years old,” she said. “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.”
Brooks’ sisters shared some skepticism about the model’s relationship with Savchenko during the show as well.
Dancing With the Stars season 33 pair Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader had fans guessing all season long about the status of their relationship. Before the couple even hit the ballroom floor, the Russian dancer exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024 that he found Nader “hot.” He said at the time, “We have a […]
“I feel like you’re just so blinded by love, which is love bombing,” Mary Holland Nader said. “The victim of love bombing is blinded.”
Brooks seemed unbothered by her sister’s concerns, responding, “He dotes on me, he worships me, and it’s a bad thing? It sounds amazing.”

Mary Holland, 26, wondered whether Savchenko just wanted to “get in [Brooks’] circle.” Brooks made it clear that it was a little too late for that.
“He’s in my circle,” she said. “He was in me day one!”
