Things are heating up on the dance floor for Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader.
The Dancing With the Stars partners continue to maintain that they’re just friends despite increasing speculation that there’s more going on between them.
After delivering a spirited quickstep routine set to Dolly Parton‘s “9 to 5” on the show’s Oscars Night, the duo said that they’ve developed great chemistry as dancing partners.
“We’re just having fun honestly and you know, just living our life,” Brooks exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi Sept. 24.
“Listen, when you rehearse together for such long hours and days, you create a certain chemistry,” Gleb explained. “Especially like, when we dance together it’s there. We’re trying to get into character pretty much, you know.”
After the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star said that they’re simply “getting into character,” the DWTS pro called that “the main, most important thing.”
Brooks cheekily added, “We also are fond of each other.” (For more from Brooks, Gleb, and the rest of this season’s DWTS cast, tune into E! News Sept. 25, at 11 p.m.)
