Brooks Nader And Gleb Savchenko will have a hard time dancing around their latest token of love… the Dancing with the Stars partners were spotted smooching backstage.

Check this out…the model plants a kiss on her dance partner’s lips and another on the cheek while waiting backstage at the dance competition. Gleb seems unfazed by Brooks’ affection, holding her hands and stroking her back…all while crew members watch.

The footage is obviously from Tuesday night’s episode of the competition series… Brooks and Gleb are wearing the same outfits they wore for their quickstep routine on Oscar night.

The obvious chemistry between Brooks and Gleb had already caused a stir… In the video package that aired before their routine, for example, the dance partners shared a quick kiss.

In case you missed it… Brooks was caught leaning over and kissing Gleb while they were rehearsing their number to Dolly Parton‘s “9 to 5”. The moment was remarkable enough that judge Carrie Ann Inaba made a joke about it during her commentary.

However, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model downplayed their connection after the kiss on Tuesday… tellingly We weekly she kisses everyone.

She noted… “I kiss everyone I know. All my friends. I love kissing, so don’t take it to heart.”

Additionally, when we met Brooks in Los Angeles, she denied dating Gleb and hinted that she was seeing someone – but refused to name names.

However, her fans are not convinced by her denial… many see the new backstage video as proof that the two are “definitely together.”
