Gleb Savchenko’s ex-wife, Elena Samodanova, has welcomed her third baby, her first with boyfriend Vlad Kvartin.
“Our sweet little baby girl Victoria Kvartin 👼🏼arrived on December 1st,” Samodanova, 42, and Kvartin, 30, captioned a joint Instagram announcement on Friday, December 19. “Mommy and daddy love you so much.”
They continued, “Our hearts are so full. Welcome to the world, little one.”
In the couple’s pic, Samodanova and Kvartin could each be seen holding one of baby Victoria’s feet in the palm of their respective hands.
Dancing With the Stars fans are already quite familiar with who Gleb Savchenko is, but they may not be as well-acquainted with his ex-wife, Elena Samodanova. Savchenko and Samodanova got married in 2006, later welcoming daughters Olivia and Zlata. After being married for more than a decade, Us Weekly confirmed in November 2020 that the […]
Kvartin also shared the sweet family image onto his Instagram Stories, writing, “The purest, greatest love.”
Samodanova announced in August that she was expecting her third baby. She is already the mother of daughters Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7, whom she shares with Savchenko, 42.
“Congratulations 🎉,” Savchenko wrote via Instagram comment at the time, reacting to Samodanova’s pregnancy. “I’m so happy for you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
The Dancing With the Stars pro and Samodanova were married for 14 years before calling it quits in 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 at the time. “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.”
The two pro dancers settled their divorce one year later in 2021, agreeing to share joint legal and physical custody of their daughters.
Samodanova later moved to Hong Kong with her kids in 2023, while Savchenko stayed in Los Angeles to participate in multiple DWTS seasons.
“It’s really, really hard to stay connected because of the time difference. But I try my best,” Savchenko exclusively told Us in July 2024, detailing their coparenting arrangement. “I visited them during Christmas. I took them to Thailand for three weeks. I think my ex-wife [is] a great mom and she loves her girls. She does so much for them.”

Samodanova eventually moved on with Kvartin after relocating overseas, while Savchenko has had a handful of relationships. He dated Elena Belle from 2021 to 2024 and later sparked an on-again, off-again romance with his DWTS season 33 partner, Brooks Nader. Savchenko and Nader, 28, split for good in April.
“I was newly divorced and I told them, ‘Give me the hottest, douchiest guy,’ and they gave me Gleb,” Nader recalled of meeting Savchenko during her Thursday, December 18, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I felt as though there was so much sexual tension on the first day we met, that it would just get worse and worse.”
Nader, who was previously married to Billy Haire, further claimed that she hooked up with Savchenko on the first day they met.
“I just wanted to … let’s see what we’re working with! I was like, ‘Let’s just get that over with,’” she said of their sex life. “Dancers know how to … I’ve heard that from a lot of people and it’s true. Highly recommend. Don’t marry the dancer, but f*** the dancer.”
