Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko—who shares two kids with ex Elena Samodanova—joked that he wants to have a baby with his girlfriend Brooks Nader, saying, “I think I’m ready for a 3rd one.”
Apparently Gleb Savchenko is ready to take his romance with Brooks Nader to the next level.
The Dancing With the Stars pro gave a not-so-subtle hint to the model about wanting to expand his family, which already includes daughters Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, whom he shares with his ex-wife Elena Samodanova.
In a video posted to his Dancing With the Stars costar Pasha Pashkov‘s Instagram Stories Jan. 7, Gleb held Pasha’s daughter Nikita in his arms while the 19-month-old chomped on a piece of apple. Captioning the clip, the choreographer wrote, “Kiki wanted more apples so @Glebsavchenkoofficial brought her an apple flower.”
And Gleb reshared the post to his own Instagram Story shortly after, tagging Brooks—who he’s been dating on and off since September 2024, the same month the pair made their debut as partners on season 33 of the dance competition series—and writing atop the clip, “I think I’m ready for a 3rd one.”
And while Brooks didn’t publicly address Gleb’s confession, she certainly hasn’t been shy about putting a spotlight on their romance. In fact, earlier this week, the 28-year-old shared a video of her and the 41-year-old passionately kissing to a mashup of The Weeknd‘s song “Heartless” and Kanye West‘s hit of the same name.
“We were forced to do this trend against my will by my sisters,” Brooks captioned the steamy clip, alongside three laughing emojis.

Something else he’s confessed to missing? Performing with Brooks on Dancing With the Stars, which the two got eliminated from during week four. Fortunately, the pair were able to groove together one last time during the season 33 finale back in November 2024.
“It was amazing,” Gleb previously told E! News. “It was such a great journey for us. We danced together for five weeks. We got eliminated, and we got back together for the finale and performed the rumba.”

In 1994, four years after they went public with their relationship and three years before they married, the Rocky actor sent a breakup letter to his now-wife via FedEx.
“Who FedExs a breakup letter?” Sean Hannity asked the actor on the first episode of his Fox Nation show Sean, released Dec. 3, 2024.
The actor, sitting beside his wife, responded, “A coward does.”
Around the time she received the letter, Jennifer learned that Sylvester had been having an affair with supermodel Janice Dickinson, who had given birth to a daughter months earlier. A paternity test later revealed he was not the child’s biological father, and he and Janice split and he got back together with Jennifer.
In August 2022, she filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. By the following month, the couple was back together.

After several years together, however, they released a joint statement in March 2011 confirming their mututal decison “to part ways.”
But it was clear they still had feelings for each other.
Soon enough, the pair reconciled and tied the knot in October 2012. They welcomed son Silas on April 8, 2015, and his brother Phineas in July 2020.
“We have similar values,” Jessica told Marie Claire in 2017. “We believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers—about being focused and driven—and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like, ‘Score!'”

No one had the resurrection of Bennifer on their bingo card heading into 2021.
But the couple who so splashily dated before calling off their engagement in September 2003 (though they didn’t confirm their split until January 2004) had other ideas.
Ben and J.Lo saw their previous commitment and raised it a marriage, tying the knot in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and celebrating with a big bash in Georgia a month later.
In August 2024, the v from Ben after two years of marriage.
Tim Rooke/ShutterstockAs reports of an imminent engagement started to make the rounds in the U.K. in early 2007, William broke up with his college sweetheart after four years together.
That June, however, he invited Kate to a costume party at his barracks in Dorset (his first military posting was with the Blues and Royals of the British Army’s Household Cavalry) and apparently her sexy nurse outfit was the shot in the arm the future king needed.
A few years later, William proposed with the 12-carat Ceylon sapphire ring that belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana, and the couple’s engagement was announced Nov. 16, 2010.
When looking back at their brief split, William said in their first joint interview, “We were both very young. We were both finding ourselves and being different characters. It was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up so it was just a bit of space, and it worked out for the better.”
Kate admitted she “wasn’t very happy about it” at the time, but ultimately it made her “a stronger person.”

“We were working all the time; there was so much time between our visits,” Pink explained their rationale to Redbook. “Carey would see me for five days and be gone for six weeks. We’d try to fix everything in those five days—you just can’t do that.”
The lusty pair reunited when Pink made Carey a photo album of old cards and pictures, showed him her unsigned divorce papers and wore his favorite pair of lingerie in a hotel suite in Las Vegas.
They welcomed daughter Willow June 2, 2011, and son Jameson Dec. 26, 2016.
Trae Patton/NBC/NBCU Photo BankEven these two had some ups and downs before taking their vows on Sept. 14, 2013.
After meeting on the set of Legend’s “Stereo” music video in 2006, the pair quickly coupled up, but a year later the singer started feeling overwhelmed.
“I was really stressed and busy,” he told The Guardian in 2017 of that almost-pivotal time. “I was just like: ‘I’d just be happier single right now,’ and she was like: ‘No.'”
So that was cleared up in the course of a day.
They’ve since become parents to Luna (April 17, 2016), Miles (May 16, 2018), Esti (Jan. 13, 2023) and Wren (June 19, 2023, via surrogate).
