EXCLUSIVE Brooks Nader reveals she's 'enjoying' being single for the first time after Gleb Savchenko split and divorce from ex Billy Haire
Brooks Nader is dishing on her single life following her split from Dancing with the Stars' Gleb Savchenko and divorce from ex Billy Haire.
The 28-year-old's divorce was finalized from businessman Billy, 39, last month when a New York judge signed off on the judgment almost a year from when the model first filed in May 2024.
Although the terms of the settlement are not disclosed to the public, DailyMail.com can reveal that Brooks' attorney entered a proposed settlement in August 2024, but it took the court eight months to officially finalize.
They were married from 2019 to 2024, but had been living apart from months before Books filed for divorce. Billy has since moved on and is reportedly dating Southern Charm star Naomie Olindo.
While her divorce was pending, she began dating her DWTS partner Gleb, 41, while she was a contestant on the show in season 33, which aired last fall.
The Russian pro dancer and the Sports Illustrated model, although on-again, off-again, ended their relationship in April following reports that Gleb had cheated on Brooks - something he has since denied.

In a new interview with DailyMail.com, Brooks talks about being single for the first time in her life and how she's moving on from her recent relationship.
'I'm just having fun. I haven't been single ever in my entire life, so I'm just enjoying the ride,' she said while promoting her partnership with Raising Cane's.
As she was getting glammed for her appearance at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party in New York City, she admitted that traveling so much has made it difficult for her to settle down with someone special.
'I've been back and forth to Miami all week working,' she explained. 'So, if there's a lot of work going on, it's hard to navigate dating life with that. But I'll find time when the person is right.'
When asked what lessons she's learned from her last relationship with Gleb, she said, 'I would say honestly that life throws you so many different curve balls and you just need to have a good girl gang and support system around you at all times.
'You never know what life is going to throw your way and just stay true to yourself and your superpowers.'
Gleb and Brooks broke up for the second time at the beginning of April after he reportedly cheated on her. A source told People that she suspected he had cheated on her and called things off over the April 5th weekend.
However, the pro dancer was shocked to learn about this since he told Page Six that he learned she had ended their relationship in the news.
Gleb and Brooks were partners in the 33rd season of DWTS, but their partnership turned into a hot romance as they got close on the set of the competition show
Brooks' sister Grace Ann spilled about their relationship, 'I can tell you firsthand. Every time I visited Brooks¿s trailer, the trailer was shaking every single time. I never wanted to go in there'
Gleb was accused of cheating on Brooks, which allegedly lead to their split. He has since denied the cheating accusations and said that he was 'not a f**kboy'
'The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6, asking to speak. I called her in response, but she has not replied,' he said.
In a recent interview with E!, he set the record straight and adamantly denied cheating. 'I'm not a cheater,' he insisted.
'I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f**kboy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I'm not even on dating apps.'
Their messy split is still being talked about, with Brooks' sister recently revealing that the pair were allegedly intimate frequently in their trailer on Dancing with the Stars.
Grace Ann, 24, spilled on the Chicks In the Office podcast, 'I can tell you firsthand. Every time I visited Brooks's trailer, the trailer was shaking every single time. I never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking.'
Brooks told DailyMail.com that her sister 'wasn't lying,' but that she is 'not even speaking' to her sibling right now because of her 'outing' and because she 'doesn't trust' her after sharing with the world about her sex life.
Despite not having a long-lasting relationship come out of her experience on DWTS, she called it 'one of the best experiences in my life' and said she would 'encourage anyone who has the opportunity to go on the show to definitely say yes.'
The Louisiana native is in the midst of filming a reality show, Love Thy Nader, with her sisters Grace Ann, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane Nader.

The Hulu show is expected to be released this summer and follows the siblings as they chase their dreams in New York City as they navigate balancing their fashion and modeling careers and sisterhood away from their southern roots.
'It is a dream come true. I mean, I didn't know how working every day with family would be, but it's honestly just how it was growing up.
'It's chaotic, it's fun, it's energetic, it's a lot of freaking drama and a lot of late night Raising Cane's and gossip sessions,' she told DailyMail.com.
Although there were rumors that her breakup with Gleb was for the show, the model said, 'I can tell you with a hundred percent certainty, I wish it was dramatized because that would make my personal real life a lot easier.
'But it is all real, and you'll see that when the show comes out. You cannot make this sh*t up.'
Unlike The Kardashians, Brooks said that the Naders are 'very different.'
'We're from the deep, deep south in Louisiana, and we're all living in New York City, so it's kind of swamp people meet Sex in the City sort of situation,' she explained.
'We're all in our 20s. We're all dating and navigating that in the modeling industry together. And so it is going to be, I think, unlike anything anyone's seen before.'

Ahead of attending the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party on Thursday night - where DailyMail.com has learned that her ex Billy Haire also attended - Brooks chowed on Raising Cane's chicken finger combo - something she called her 'guilty pleasure' but says she 'has no shame in the game.'
'I am not a healthy eater, whatsoever. I'm not like that girl. Raising Cane's is a huge major food group for me,' she admitted.
'I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and actually went to the same high school as the founder, Todd Graves, so I literally grew up on Raising Cane's.
'It was pretty much a daily situation for my family and I. There was one just around the corner from us around LSU's campus, and so that was always our afterschool snack, always game day meals.
The seven-time Sports Illustrated model sported a Silvia Tcherassi turquoise dress, which had a V-shaped cutout in the front, revealing part of her chest and stomach.
Brooks is no stranger to turning eyes on the red carpet and posing countless times in a bikini for cover of magazines. But exuding self-esteem didn't happen overnight.
'I would say it was not an overnight journey for me being confident, and I'm still working on it every single day,' she told DailyMail.com. 'But I would say having a good support system, being around a great strong female girl gang at all times, including my sisters, definitely helps keep me motivated and confident.
'And I think surrounding yourself with uplifting people is key to staying confident.'
