Brooks Nader held nothing back while discussing her whirlwind romance with ex-boyfriend Gleb Savchenko.
During the premiere episode of her new reality show Love Thy Nader, the 28-year-old model didn’t shy away from detailing her chemistry with the Dancing with the Stars pro, 41.
In one candid moment, Brooks told her sisters Mary Holland, 26, Grace Ann, 25, and Sarah Jane, 23, that she and Gleb had been intimate almost immediately.
‘He was in me day one!’ she confessed after her siblings questioned the pace of their relationship.
Earlier in the conversation, her younger sisters were taken aback after she informed them Gleb would be staying in their shared New York City apartment ‘indefinitely.’
‘It’s a very hot and heavy relationship,’ Mary began, before Brooks cut her off to say: ‘So? That’s hot and sexy.’

‘I met my ex-husband when I was 19 years old. I was with him until I was 27, and going from that to the hottest guy I’ve ever seen in my entire life… we have the craziest, wildest sex ever,’ she said.
Her sisters, however, raised concerns about whether she was overlooking red flags.
‘I feel like you’re just so blinded by love, which is love bombing,’ Mary warned. ‘The victim of love bombing is blinded.’
Brooks pushed back, insisting: ‘He dotes on me, he worships me, and it’s a bad thing? It sounds amazing.’
The steamy relationship also raised eyebrows with her parents.
When Gleb joined the family in New York City to attend Brooks’ Hudson Jeans launch, her father Breaux was less than impressed watching the couple straddle and kiss in front of him.
‘A little bit over the top,’ he quipped, adding, ‘Follow our example [referring to his wife]. You know, we may hold hands a little bit, but that’s about it.’
Despite the awkward family dynamic, Gleb professed his desire to marry Brooks, telling Breaux he wanted to get his blessing before taking the next step.

Later, he joked to the cameras about the challenge of gaining approval, saying: ‘It’s harder than getting the U.S. visa.’
Over dinner, Gleb told Brooks he wanted them to live together and described her father’s reaction as ‘a little cold.’
Brooks reassured him that her dad was just being protective and added confidently: ‘We will always work out, unless you do something horrible.’
After getting paired with Gleb on Dancing with the Stars, Brooks admitted to feeling instantly attracted to him.

Despite splitting in October, Gleb revealed to Extra that they still had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, and during the holiday they confirmed they were on-again with video of them dancing and Gleb kissing her cheek.
Their whirlwind romance saw the duo get matching tattoos on their abdomen (which Brooks revealed in mid-November that she was removing, telling TMZ she got the ink due to a ‘lapse in judgement.’).
When asked to debunk the rumors that their relationship was just a showmance, the Sports Illustrated cover girl noted that ‘there are levels to every relationship.’
‘We were spending 6 to 7 hours a day, 7 days a week together rehearsing, so you obviously grow a bond with somebody over that period,’ the bombshell explained. ‘And, it’s such an intimate thing, ballroom dancing. I’m really bad at faking things.’
In May 2025, Brooks told DailyMail.com that she is ‘enjoying’ being single for the first time since her split with Gleb
Last year, Brooks split from Billy Haire, who was 13 years her senior.
News first broke of her split from Billy in May 2024 after a rep for Brooks confirmed to People that the former couple were ‘divorcing after living apart for months.’
‘The split is amicable,’ the insider said. ‘She’s a busy person and career wise she’s on top of the world.
‘All relationships are hard and some can be salvaged, some can’t. They’re both truly amazing people. They have just decided to go their separate ways.’
Brooks’ new show, Love Thy Nader, hits Hulu on August 27; seen on Wednesday

In January, Brooks revealed she and Billy were still legally married.
She captioned a TikTok video which featured herself and Gleb: ‘Plot twist: still legally married.’
Savchenko, meanwhile, was previously married to professional dancer Elena Samodanova between 2006 to 2020.
The pair share a daughter, named Olivia, born in November 2010, and son, Zlata, seven.
