When season 1 of Freeform’s/Hulu’s ‘Love Thy Nader’ premiered, the viewers were instantly drawn into the drama and romance surrounding the sisters —Brooks, Grace Ann, Mary, and Sarah. Right from the beginning, Brooks’ love life took center stage as her then-boyfriend, Gleb Savchenko, was introduced. At first glance, he seemed to be completely smitten, practically worshipping the ground she walked on. Yet, her sisters were not entirely convinced about his intentions. Soon, their perfect relationship spiraled into chaos and drama as accusations of his infidelity began to surface.
Brooks and Gleb’s Bond Ended in Heartbreak Despite the Passionate Start
When Brooks Nader first opened up about her boyfriend, Gleb Savchenko, she told her sisters he would move in with her once he wrapped up his tour. That immediately raised eyebrows among them because they were uncomfortable with the arrangement. At the show’s beginning, when he came to meet her after one month, he and Brooks wasted no time putting their romance on full display. Their public display of affection right in front of the family made them seem inseparable, as they could not keep their hands off each other. It continued before her parents, Holland and Breaux, who were also unhappy that Brooks wanted Gleb to move in so soon. During a conversation, he told her father he wanted to marry her. However, Breaux made it clear that the traditions were important for the family.
Breaux told Gleb that the latter needed to formally seek the family’s permission by coming to their home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Through everything, Brooks’ sisters remained skeptical of their relationship. Their doubts intensified when a quick search uncovered that Gleb’s ex-wife previously accused him of cheating. When he again left for his tour, in an unexpected twist, he accidentally left his phone behind. That was when Brooks made a shocking discovery that he had allegedly been messaging multiple women and had even allegedly planned a threesome while staying with her. The revelations left her completely heartbroken, and she stopped communicating with him. Soon after, Gleb spoke out before the press, reportedly stating that he tried to reach out to her, but she never responded.
Brooks and Gleb no Longer Seem to be in Contact With Each Other
By the time Brooks and Gleb’s breakup spilled into the public eye, the former was already in a difficult headspace. On the show, her sisters encouraged her to go on a girls’ trip to Miami, Florida, to help her cope with the heartbreak. However, instead of finding relief, she broke down again as the reality of Gleb’s alleged actions caught up with her. On the other hand, he continued to deny the accusations of cheating and other allegations. Following the reveal of the breakup to the media, he stated, “I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship.” Following the split, Brooks again saw Gleb at Hulu’s announcement event for ‘Love Thy Nader.’
During the event, Brooks was anxious and wondered what Gleb was telling the press. She was also disappointed to hear that he refused to speak to Breaux because her father had his mic on. As of writing, it seems that the former couple has completely cut ties with one another and has taken separate roads. They no longer follow each other on Instagram, which suggests that they have not maintained any contact. Although both of them still have a few old snapshots and clips from their time together on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ on their social media, there are no signs of reconciliation. No matter what, we hope both of them continue to work towards their brighter futures.
