Dancing With the Stars’ Gleb Savchenko and Elena Samodanova: A Timeline of Their Relationship
Gleb Savchenko and Elena Samodanova seemingly made a perfect match, but ultimately, they weren’t able to last forever.
The Dancing With the Stars pro and Samodanova wed in July 2006 and went on to welcome two daughters, Olivia and Zlata. They split in November 2020.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my wife and I are parting ways after 14 years of marriage,” Savchenko told Us Weekly in a statement. “We still intend to coparent our wonderful children together who we love so dearly, and we will strive to continue to be the best parents that we can to them. We ask that you respect our family’s need for privacy and healing during this time.”
Nearly one year after announcing their split, Savchenko and Samodanova finalized their divorce in October 2021. Samodanova and the now-exes’ daughters later moved to Hong Kong in 2023, with Savchenko often flying to visit from his home base of Los Angeles.
In July 2026, the exes were back in the news as they battled over where their daughters should live as they get older.
