DWTS Gleb Savchenko And Elena Samadanova Attend “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” Premiere
New Pro dancer of Dancing With The Stars, Gleb Savchenko and Elena Samadanova were seen seen gracing the Red Carpet last night at the Premiere of Paramount Pictures’ “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” at the TCL Chinese Theatre on in Hollywood, California. To see more photos of them, visit Zimbio Pictures and Getty Images. What a stunning couple! Below is some video coverage of the two as well…
Yep, that man is gorgeous!
Gleb and Elena make a stunning couple.
On a side note, I don’t know how anyone puts up with that barrage of photographers all yelling at them. It would get on my last nerve to be treated like a piece of meat. I guess it’s the price you pay when you’re famous or want to be famous.
Cidra I agree on both counts. Cute couple, and I am surprised sometimes that more celebs haven’t done an Alec Baldwin and taken a swing at one of the photogs, especially the ones who jump out when they pick kids up from school, go to the hospital, etc. (Some hate Baldwin for that, I don’t. A premiere or a press appearance is one thing, getting jumped at a coffee shop or something is something else.)
Pardon my ignorance, but are these two a “couple couple” or are they just a “couple” of DWTS cast members attending the same event. Sometimes it’s hard to tell! 🙂
I think they are a “couple couple”.
Is she really a troupe member? She wasn’t introduced as a new member on last results show.
Lana, I’m confused too. Lori posted that she was in the troupe in a new post a couple of weeks ago, but, you’re right, she wasn’t introduced. (I’ll edit the post, thanks)
Meggie, not sure, but, I know they were dance partners in their competition days and she also danced/dances in DWTS Australia as well as Gleb.
I’ve seen a paparazzi video where they were holding hands. So a just assume that they are also a real life couple. Lisa also mentioned once that he is already taken.
Here is the Link to that video. @Heidi: Derek introduced Gleb to Henry.
So the answer to my question could be “neither”! LOL! Thanks, Vogue! 🙂
According to this article (Feel free to edit this link out! I just wasn’t sure where to put it): http://au.gwn7.yahoo.com/w3/tv/dancing-with-the-stars/a/-/dancers/13392240/gleb-savchenko/
Gleb and Elena are married. Although, to be fair, I’m not sure how reliable the article is…
Based on a short bio I read somewhere, Gleb and Elena are married.
According to tabloids they are married for 6 years already.
If Gleb & Elena are indeed married, I have to wonder: was Gleb casted not so much to replace Maks, but (along w/wifey) to replace Jonathan & Anna? Besides Sasha & Emma in the troupe (and I don’t see them getting promoted to pro anytime soon), we have no married/dating pros that can do pro dances to make viewers swoon and sigh at how “in love” they look. Perhaps we’ll be seeing some pro dances featuring Gleb & Elena?
In the Afterparty Video above, he refers to Elena as “his professional dance partner.”
I guess they want to portray him as single in the professional world as long as they can. He is one gorgeous man! Whew!
Thanks, Lana for the video. Gleb introduces Elena to Henry as his professional dancing partner, but maybe he just didn’t want to fess up to being married. Maybe he thought he’d get more of the single vote that way.
Sorry, Sandy, you must have posted while I was typing. Looks like we agree though. 🙂
If you go to the First Dance Studio: Sydney facebook page and check the photos it looks like their wedding photo is there. I would post a direct link but not sure if it’s okay to do so.
No problem Meggie. 🙂 It gave me another reason to click back on and gaze at his gorgeous face.
Good job Jenn. Here they are in the wedding photo at facebook:

At one point, in his Twitter account, troupe member Henry was asked if he knew who would be taking Sharna’s place in the troupe. He said he didn’t know, but speculated that it might be “Gleb’s wife”.
Ooh, interesting!
If TPTB are ever watching this site, I would love to see Elena Samadanova take over for Peta next season. I gave Peta a chance which didn’t work out so well, and would love to see Elena take her spot and be given a chance. What a great dynamic to see Gleb and Elena on the show. Although Gleb is new and, like Val, has to go through the freshman rush season(s), he will be amazing showcased with the “right” partner and will be on for as long as the show continues, imo. Seeing Elena performing, I would love to see her on the show full-time. Quite frankly she could take Lindsay or Peta’s place, for me personally.
I disagree with you Ashley L, There is no way Elena is in any league of Peta’s. Peta is a better dancer, performer and choreographer than Elena by miles. Even though we haven’t seen much of Lindsay, but I have and what I know from her and what she put on the show were better then Elena’s routines on dwts Australia. To be honest Elena is a great dancer but she isn’t that entertaining on the floor. Just watch her youtube vids like I said she is a great dancer but I don’t see her taking any of the female pro spots( Kym, Karina, Cheryl, Peta, Lindsay or Sharna)
Even though we don’t agree on the Peta/Lindsay aspect Grant (I know these two are your favorites), I’ll definitely take a closer look at Elena youtube vids, as you said, and check her out in more detail to be fair. 🙂
Yeah Ashley, I think she is an absolutely amazing dancer but I think she should be in the troupe for a while so she can see how to produce an entertaining routine. She is great at dancing she just puts boring routines together from dwts Australia POV. but I think she will be a good addition to show just not replacing someone.
Meggie, he and Elena are definitely a couple. I didn’t know they were married. I’m sure he knows he wouldn’t be as appealing to a lot of women if they knew he was married or in a long term relationship, and also he would imo have to change his behavior in the rehearsals. He comes on a bit strong for a married man.
Thanks, katarina! I think you are right about the reason he didn’t mention being married.
Grant, you are absolutely right. Elena kinda turned me off a little by her awkward choreography. Have you seen the judges comments? They are picking on the pros much worse than on the US-Version.
It’s all kind of weird to me. If tptb want a married couple replacement, I would think they’d mention he has a wife or at least have it be somewhere in some of his packages. I don’t think he gains much from not talking about his wife at all. How long will it be until it’s general knowledge and then it’s just yuck and looks like he tried to hide it. Yet they are out in public together. But he introduces her as his professional dance partner?? Just weird, imo. Perhaps they have some good reason for being discreet about it??
