We ask that you respect our family’s need for privacy and healing during this time.”

The Dancing With the Stars alumni and his partner, Chrishell Stause, were eliminated from the ABC reality series on Monday, November 2. A source told Page Six that the partners were the talk of the set before elimination. According to the outlet, they actually got in a huge fight on set that left Stause so upset she refused to do press after the show. To apologize, Savchenko sent her a huge bouquet of red roses. Stause posted a photo of herself smiling while holding up a bouquet of roses on October 8th on Instagram and brought up the fight. “OK full disclosure, @glebsavchenkoofficial and I had our first fight-ha!” she captioned the Instagram pic. “If apologies look like THIS, I guess it’s not so bad!! 🥰 💕.” Stause continued, “We both care so much and I love the passion he brings to what he does. We are working on me picking up some of his strict Russian nature, and I am softening him up with a little southern charm. Finding the balance landed us here and I truly think this could be our best week yet 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 #TeamSellingIt #DWTS.”

Stause is in the middle of a divorce herself. She was married to “This Is Us” star Justin Hartley, before he filed for divorce in November 2019 after two years of marriage. Naturally, rumors ran wild that maybe something was going on between her and Savchenko. Stause tried to nip the rumors in the bud and released a statement on Instagram Friday. She message said, “I am so saddened about the news of glove and Elena‘s split. it is so unfortunate that this has caused rumors to swirl about my personal life. Having gone through a public split myself, I would not wish this on anyone. As you can imagine, the countless hours of training and dance rehearsal has created a strong supportive friendship, but nothing more. I wish nothing but the best for both Gleb and Elena during this unfortunate time.”
