Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko turned up the heat during their return to Dancing with the stars!
On Tuesday, Nov. 26, the supermodel, 28, and professional dancer, 41, reunited for the show’s 33rd season finale. They performed a sultry dance to the iconic song “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb alongside Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber.
The choice to pair these two up was especially poignant as both couples fueled speculation that they were in a relationship during and after their time on the show.
During the routine, Nader leaned forward and crouched in front of Savchenko. However, when he pulled her back, he aggressively lifted her body, which made Nader laugh at his passion.
The routine ended with both couples coming nose to nose – but without a kiss.
Former DWTS the pair, who were eliminated in Week 5 on October 15, sparked romance rumors when they were spotted kissing backstage DWTS during the second week of the competition. Things escalated when they posted raunchy TikTok videos during their time on the show.
Finally, on October 8, a week before elimination, they got matching tattoos – but still haven’t officially confirmed the relationship.

Shortly after their elimination, Nader told PEOPLE that she’s keeping her first tattoo “private” and that it’s probably “the end [her] tattoo journey.”
A source told PEOPLE that they broke things off a week after their elimination.
Around the time of their alleged split, Nader posted a video on TikTok featuring Miles Teller’s viral breakup speech lash played over a clip of him sitting at a table looking confused.
“When he broke up with me, but I didn’t know we were dating,” she wrote alongside the video.
The pair then posted a series of back-and-forth TikTok messages alluding to what led to the breakup. But DWTS pros Rylee Arnold and Ezra Sosa took to their social networks to ask Savchenko for details on November 4th. While being questioned, Arnold, 19, said: “You texted her, Gleb! You were the one who ended it.” To which Savchenko confirmed: “I am.”

However, in recent days the two have reunited to practice for DWTS finals. On Sunday, November 24, Sports Illustrated the model left rehearsals wearing a special piece of jewelry: a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger.
The next day, they were spotted packing the PDA in DWTS final rehearsals. Their co-stars Slater, 35, and Sosa posted separate TikToks of the couple, including a video of Savchenko lifting Nader into her arms while she strode around his waist.
A day later, Nader read the text that Savchenko sent her, breaking things off at first. During a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, Nov. 26, she said Savchenko told her she was “going through something.”
During the livestream, Nader read their alleged texts aloud. She revealed that on October 23 he told her he loved her and then on October 25 and 26 that he still missed her. “Then, of course, we talked a little,” she said.
It remains unclear what led to the break-up or if the couple is back together, but curious fans got a peek at their relationship during DWTS finals.
