Gleb Savchenko, 41, and Brooks Nader, 27, both ‘DWTS’ pros, caught kissing backstage: ‘Vibing’

Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko are totally in sync.

The “Dancing With the Stars” partners candidly opened up about whether their intense ballroom chemistry gets in the way of their focus on their art.

“No,” Nader, 27, told The Post on Tuesday. “I think in both of our industries, we’re always surrounded by beautiful people, and you just have to keep your eyes on the camera and focus on the dance.”

Savchenko, 41, echoed his partner’s sentiments, sharing that their main goal is to “compete for Mirrorball.”

“We’re very focused on Mirrorball, on getting to the final and, like Brooks said, it’s important to have good energy in the room because when you don’t, they can see that you’re not in sync with each other; it’s really difficult.”

He added: “You have to want to be physically close to the person, with them. We have that, we are in sync, it makes things much easier.”

“It helps a lot,” Nader acknowledged. “Imagine being that close to someone you hate all day long.”

And it’s safe to say that these two are far from hateful since they were caught kissing backstage on Tuesday.

In a TikTok video, a fan appeared to watch Nader and Savchenko as they chatted backstage before Savchenko grabbed Nader’s arms.

The model then leaned towards the professional dancer before giving her a quick peck on the lips. She then kissed him on the cheek.

The Post has reached out to Savchenko’s representative for comment.

Rumors swirled 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 their TikTok videos, Nader sits on Savchenko’s lap and wraps his arm around her waist. A second video shows Nader grinding against the Russian dancer.

However, Savchenko shut down romance rumors, telling Page Six that while Nader is “great” and they have “incredible” ballroom chemistry, there’s nothing romantic between them.

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.”

As for Savchenko, he was previously married to dancer Elena Samodanova from 2006 to 2020. The exes had a contentious split after she publicly accused him of cheating.

The exes have two daughters: Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.

In March, Savchenko and his girlfriend, Elena Belle, broke up after nearly three years of dating.

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” to this day.
