BROOKS Nader and Gleb Savchenko’s steamy romance isn’t just for the Dancing With the Stars cameras as an insider told The U.S. Sun the pair are the ‘real deal.’
After PDA-packed dates in public and getting matching tattoos on a spontaneous late-night outing, their whirlwind relationship is also getting inspiration from Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s highly-publicized marriage.

“Brooks and Gleb have joked they’re the new Travis and Kourtney with their constant PDA, the couples tattoos, and how much people are interested in their relationship,” an insider told The U.S. Sun.
Kourtney, 45, and Travis, 48, have become known for their inseparable bond and over-the-top public displays of affection, including licking each other in front of their friends and family.
Although they had known each other for years, the famous duo also got together quickly and dated briefly before getting engaged – cementing their place as one of Hollywood’s most-watched couples.
It seems Gleb is eager to take on that kind of status, the source said: “He loves that they’re the ‘it couple’ at the moment and wants to make it last as long as he can.
“It’s taken longer for her to adjust to that, but he is loving the attention, and she’s getting more on board with it now because of how much she likes him.”
Brooks and Gleb are now “inseparable whether they’re rehearsing for the show or not.”
“They spend all their free time together with their hands and lips all over each other, doesn’t matter if they’re in public with strangers around or not.
“It really is constant with those two, so anyone thinking they’re faking it for the show is wrong. It happened so quickly, but they’re both obsessed with each other.”

Brooks, 27, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, and Gleb, 40, who has been a DWTS regular for over a decade, reportedly started dating just as the show kicked off in September.
Since making their relationship public, they have not shied away from showing off their sizzling chemistry both on the show and off.
On both Gleb and Brooks’ social media, she can be seen straddling his face during one sexy rehearsal.
In another, his hands are all over her toned figure as their faces remain less than an inch apart.
Outside the ballroom, Brooks and Gleb have been caught by cameras while passionately making out and getting handsy with each other.
Last week, they also decided to get matching tattoos after Tuesday’s episode was done filming.
While she is being secretive about what the ink located on her lower right hip is for now, Brooks told E! she even trusted Gleb enough to hold the needle.
“This is my first ever tattoo and ever. I have no tattoos. We got something that’s special to the both of us, and we’re not sharing what it is.
“When something special happens in your life, you need to commemorate it,” she added.
‘STOP MILKING IT!’
While some fans are eager to see if their passion can carry them to the DWTS finals, others wish the producers would stop focusing on their romance and show more of their dancing and work ethic.
“Gleb’s eye-roll and “whatever” pisses me off. Maybe if you stopped milking your showmance and put some effort into teaching her you’d get better scores babes.
“Brooks could be really good if she had a better partner,” one person wrote after they got a lower score from judge Derek Hough – which results in an eye roll from Gleb.
“Unpopular opinion: the Gleb/Brooks storyline being forced down our throats is kinda irksome,” another said.
“Another night of having to watch Brooks and Gleb’s stupid showmance,” a third wrote.
While one more thinks their season should be done all together, suggesting: “Alright they had their fun. Lets get Brooks and Gleb next.”
Previously, The U.S. Sun reported that their connection was deeper than many realized, as Brooks had “really started to fall for Gleb.”
“Her friends haven’t seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before,” the insider said.
