He was accused of cheating on his wife of 14 years and had to combat rumors he had done so with his recent “Dancing With the Stars” partner Chrishell Stause, but now, following Elena Samodanova’s divorce filing, Gleb Savchenko is setting the record straight with his accounting for what went wrong in his marriage.
Rumors have swirled about what led to the breakdown of the couple’s marriage since they announced their separation in November, with the pro dancer’s wife alleging that he had been unfaithful to her for years, and a recent relationship had been the tipping point. This led to endless speculation that he had become involved with Stause, and reports about the two circulated until she went public with her romance with fellow “DWTS” pro Keo Motsepe one of Savchenko’s closest friends.
