Initially, Savchenko maintained professional boundaries, telling Page Six their focus was solely on pursuing the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. However, their chemistry soon became undeniable as they were spotted sharing intimate moments backstage before performances and later displaying affection publicly in Beverly Hills. The pair even commemorated their connection with matching tattoos.
When questioned about the tattoo, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model told Page Six it was “a secret” and their “special little thing,” proudly mentioning it was her “first tattoo.”
Their relationship experienced a brief rocky period following their elimination from the competition in mid-October, with Nader suggesting Savchenko had ended things, stating she “never knew [they] were dating.” However, the pair quickly reconciled within days.
