‘DWTS’ Pro Gleb Savchenko, 41, and Brooks Nader, 27, Caught Kissing Backstage: ‘Vibing’

Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko are completely in tune with each other.

The “Dancing With the Stars” partners opened up about whether their intense chemistry in the ballroom makes it difficult for them to focus on the craft.

“No,” Nader, 27, told The Post on Tuesday. “I think in both industries, we’re always surrounded by beautiful, gorgeous people, and you just have to keep your eye on the prize and focus on dancing.”

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

“We’re super focused on the Mirrorball, getting to the finals and, look, like Brooks said, it’s important to have a good energy in the room because if you don’t, they see that you’re not a good fit; that’s really hard.”

He added: “You have to want to be physically close to the person, with that person. We have that, (we) vibrate, it makes it so much easier.”

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

And it’s safe to say these two are far from hateful, as they were caught kissing behind the scenes on Tuesday.

In a TikTok video, a fan appears to watch Nader and Savchenko as they chat backstage, before Savchenko grabs Nader’s arms.

The supermodel then leaned in close to the dancing pro before he gave her a quick peck on the lips. She then kissed him back on the cheek.

The Post has contacted Savchenko’s spokesperson for comment.

The Sports Illustrated model and the longtime “DWTS” cast member were rumored to be in a relationship after they posted a series of flirty videos on social media to promote Season 33.

In one of their TikTok videos, Nader sat on Savchenko’s lap while wrapping his arm intimately around her waist. A second video showed Nader grinding against the Russian dancer.

However, Savchenko did deny the romance rumors, telling Page Six that while Nader is “amazing” and they have “great” chemistry in the ballroom, there’s nothing romantic going on between them.

In May, Nader and her husband Billy Haire separated after four years of marriage.

She’s since been linked to Tom Brady, but a source told Page Six it was “nothing serious.”

Savchenko was married to dancer Elena Samodanova from 2006 to 2020. The exes 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 Swedish model, 39, “had a great time together” and that he “still loves her very much” to this day.
