Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko are completely in sync.
The Dancing With the Stars partners spoke candidly about whether their intense chemistry in the ballroom makes it difficult for them to focus on their craft.
“No,” Nader, 27, told The Post on Tuesday. “I think in both industries we’re always surrounded by beautiful, gorgeous people and you just have to keep your eye on the goal and focus on the dance.”
Savchenko, 41, agreed with his partner and said their main goal was to “fight for the mirror ball.”
“We’re totally focused on the mirror ball and getting to the finals. And like Brooks said, it’s important that there’s good energy in the room because if there isn’t, everyone will notice that you’re not on the same wavelength. That’s really hard.”
He added: “You have to want to be physically close to the person, with them. We have that, we have a good vibe, that makes it so much easier.”
“It helps a lot,” Nader agreed. “Imagine being that close to someone you hate all day long.”
And it’s safe to say there’s anything but hate between these two, as they were caught kissing backstage on Tuesday.
In a TikTok video, a fan appeared to look down on Nader and Savchenko as they chatted backstage before Savchenko grabbed Nader’s arms.
The supermodel then leaned close to the dance pro before he gave her a quick peck on the lips. Then she kissed him back on the cheek.
The Post has contacted Savchenko’s representative for comment.
Rumors circulated that the Sports Illustrated model and the longtime “DWTS” cast member were dating after they posted a series of flirty videos on social media to promote season 33.
In one of her TikTok videos, Nader sat on Savchenko’s lap and wrapped his arm intimately around her waist. A second video showed Nader rubbing himself against the Russian dancer.
However, Savchenko denied the rumors of a romance, telling Page Six that while there is no romance between the two, Nader is “great” and the chemistry between them in the ballroom is “amazing.”
In May, Nader and her husband Billy Haire separated after four years of marriage.
She has since been linked to Tom Brady, but a source told Page Six it was “nothing serious.”
Savchenko was married to dancer Elena Samodanova from 2006 to 2020. The ex-partners separated acrimoniously after she publicly accused him of infidelity.
The ex-partners have two daughters: Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.
In March, Savchenko and his girlfriend Elena Belle separated after almost three years of relationship.
He told Page Six at the time that he and the 39-year-old Swedish model “had an incredible time together” and that he still “loves her very much” today.
