Gleb Savchenko warns DWTS pros not to date their partners

Professional dancer Gleb Savchenko told Us Weekly at a Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro watch‑party that current and future pros should avoid romantic relationships with their celebrity partners. He cautioned, “Don’t date your partners… even if it could cost you a season, don’t do it,” adding that such entanglements can “fuck up your whole life.”

Savchenko referred to his own off‑and‑on relationship with season‑33 partner Brooks Nader, describing it as a “bitter” experience that taught him the risk. He used a box‑of‑chocolates metaphor, saying you never know which relationship will turn sour. The comment came as the show prepares for its upcoming season, with a new cast of celebrity contestants yet to be announced.
