Gleb Savchenko’s Ex-Wife Welcomes Her 3rd Child, First with New Partner

Elena Samodanova, the former spouse of Gleb Savchenko, has joyfully announced the arrival of her third child, her first with her partner Vlad Kvartin.

“Our precious baby girl, Victoria Kvartin 👼🏼, was born on December 1st,” shared Samodanova, 42, and Kvartin, 30, in a joint Instagram post on Friday, December 19. “Mommy and daddy love you dearly.”

They added, “Our hearts are overflowing with joy. Welcome to the world, little one.”

In the couple’s photo, both Samodanova and Kvartin can be seen gently holding one of baby Victoria’s feet in their hands.

Kvartin also posted the adorable family photo on his Instagram Stories, captioning it, “The purest, greatest love.”

Samodanova revealed her pregnancy in August, and is already a mother to daughters Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, from her marriage with Savchenko, 42.

“Congratulations 🎉,” Savchenko commented on Instagram, expressing his happiness for Samodanova and Kvartin. “I’m so thrilled for you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

The Dancing With the Stars star and Samodanova were married for 14 years before their relationship ended in 2020.

“With a heavy heart, I announce that my wife and I are separating after 14 years of marriage,” Savchenko told Us Weekly at the time. “We will continue to co-parent our beloved children and ask for privacy and healing during this period.”

The professional dancers finalized their divorce in 2021, agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody of their daughters.

Samodanova relocated to Hong Kong with her children in 2023, while Savchenko remained in Los Angeles, participating in several seasons of DWTS.

“Staying connected is challenging due to the time difference, but I do my best,” Savchenko exclusively told Us in July 2024 about their co-parenting situation. “I visited them over Christmas and took them to Thailand for three weeks. My ex-wife is a wonderful mom who loves her girls tremendously.”

Samodanova found happiness with Kvartin after moving abroad, while Savchenko has been linked to several others since. He was in a relationship with Elena Belle from 2021 to 2024 and had an on-again, off-again romance with his DWTS season 33 partner, Brooks Nader. Savchenko and Nader, 28, officially parted ways in April.

“I was newly divorced and asked for the hottest, douchiest guy, and that’s how I met Gleb,” Nader recounted during her December 18 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “There was an instant spark and tension when we first met.”

Nader, previously married to Billy Haire, revealed that she and Savchenko connected on their first day together.

“I just wanted to see what was there. I thought, ‘Let’s get that over with,’” she said about their chemistry. “Dancers have a certain vibe, and it’s true what they say—highly recommend. Just don’t marry the dancer, but enjoy the experience.”
