Gleb Savchenko Reacts to Ex-Wife’s Pregnancy After Cheating Allegations

Gleb Savchenko broke his silence on his ex-wife Elena Samodanova’s pregnancy announcement five years after their divorce and infidelity claims.

The professional dancer, 41, shared his reaction to his ex’s Instagram post as he took to his ex’s comments section to extend his well wishes to her and her partner despite Samodanova accusing him of cheating which Savchenko denied years ago.

The news also comes shortly after his messy split with Brooks Nader, his partner on Dancing with the Stars last season, and her jaw-dropping admission about their sex life.

On Thursday, Samodanova announced that she is expecting a baby with her partner Vlad Kvartin in a joint Instagram post.

‘Our love story continues with a new chapter,’ she wrote in her caption alongside photos of them posing with a sonogram image. ‘Pink or blue, we can’t wait to meet you.’

‘Congratulations,’ Savchenko commented alongside confetti and red heart emojis. ‘I’m so happy for you guys.’ 

Savchenko was previously married to the fellow dancer for over a decade from 2006 until 2020. The former couple share two daughters: Olivia, 14, and Zlata, eight. 

After their split, Samodanova accused Savchenko of ‘ongoing infidelity’ and ‘irrevocably’ breaking her trust just hours after the pair announced their separation.

‘After 14 years of marriage, and multiple affairs, I’ve decided enough is enough,’ she told People at the time. ‘Gleb and I have created a family and multiple businesses together. But apparently, it just wasn’t enough to keep our marriage strong.’

She continued: ‘Gleb’s ongoing infidelity and a recent inappropriate relationship has created turmoil in our marriage and absolutely torn our family apart.’

‘No wife should ever stand by and watch while another woman gifts her husband expensive presents, lures him out to dinners and seduces him at every turn,’ the mother-of-two revealed.

Without getting into detail, she said she could ‘no longer turn’ her ‘head the other way’ and that her trust in Gleb is irrevocably broken.

‘It is time that I walk away and begin to heal so I can be the best version of myself for my girls,’ she concluded.

Gleb responded to Elena’s claims at the time, telling Dailymail.com: ‘While I will continue to respect the privacy of my family, I will not stand by and allow false accusations and internet rumors go unaddressed.’

Due to the timing of the split, many had wondered if Savchenko had cheated with his  DWTS partner at the time who was Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause, however, both he and Chrishell had denied playing any part in the split at the time.

He continued in his November 2020 statement: ‘My relationship with Chrishell was and remains strictly platonic. Our friendship during our season on DWTS was not the reason for our split.

‘Elena and I have had longstanding issues in our marriage. This has been an ongoing situation between Elena and I paired with poor timing. It was my deepest hope to keep our private life just that: private. I am saddened and disappointed to see that Elena has chosen not to do the same.’

Following their separation, Samodanova and their daughters moved to Hong Kong, where she currently resides with her partner. 

Meanwhile, the latest news that his ex-wife is pregnant again comes shortly after his messy split with Brooks Nader.

In her and her sisters’ new reality TV show, Love Thy Nader, she made shocking confessions about their sex life and claimed he was fired from Dancing with the Stars after they competed together last season. 

She alleged that he was let go from the show due to cheating. 

Savchenko also previously hinted that he would not be returning for the next season of the competition series amid ongoing drama with his supermodel ex, 28.

Last weekend, he kept a low profile as he walked into the dance studio for rehearsals ahead of the upcoming season in spite of Nader’s claims.

He wore a baseball cap with a reflective visor over his face and also wore a black face mask as he walked into set. However, Gleb was recognizable based on his tattoos — particularly the ink behind his right ear. 

Other than his effort to sneak into rehearsals without being noticed, the pro dancer wore casual, low-key clothes. 

Earlier this month, Gleb took to TikTok to speak on his ex Nader’s claims that he cheated and was subsequently fired from Dancing with the Stars. 

In the TikTok clip, he lip synced to a viral audio clip and insisted she was the reason he was axed from the show. 

‘I don’t know where you got your information from,’ he declared in the video. ‘I don’t know who your source is, but I will be the first one to tell you that is incorrect.’ 

‘Your “source” needs a refund … because that story? 100% fake,’ he captioned the clip. In the comments section, one fan wrote that they ‘can’t wait to see you on my TV again in September!’ 

However, Savchenko replied and wrote that he was ‘afraid you won’t.’ Another fan commented: ‘Clock it. Giving that flop reality show zero attention.’ And in response, Savchenko wrote that ’14 years of loyalty, erased by someone’s lie.’ 

Savchenko previously joined the cast of the ABC competition series in 2013 for season 16. He was off the show for several years before later returning as a pro for season 23 in 2016. 

In the recently released trailer for her new reality show, Love Thy Nader, she claimed that she had ‘proof’ that her ex is a ‘cheater.’ 

The trailer also featured a voiceover clip of her ex-boyfriend saying: ‘Just sad how people spread lies and rumors to promote their new reality show.’ 

Just several days ago, Nader, his ex-girlfriend and former partner from last season, broke her silence about her ex claiming she ‘got him fired’ from the show. In response to photographer Melanie Miller’s question, she said: ‘He got himself fired, probably.’ 

She was previously partnered with the controversial pro for the series’ season 33 last year, and the pair made headlines for their on and offscreen chemistry. 

Their rumored fling then turned into a whirlwind romance when the pair were spotted packing on the PDA backstage, just shortly before their elimination in October. 

They briefly split following their elimination before they reconciled again around the time the finale aired in November. But they ended up breaking up for good that following April. 

Prior to her romance with Savchenko, she was married to New York businessman Billy Haire for nearly four years before they divorced in 2023. 

Since ending her romance with her former dance partner, she has been romantically linked to Tom Brady after they were spotted getting cozy at Jeff Bezos’ star-studded wedding in Venice to his bride Lauren Sanchez.
