Gleb Savchenko's Daughters Shine as Young Dancers

As of September 2025, Dancing with the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko is a proud father of two talented young dancers. Gleb shares his daughters, Olivia Savchenko and Zlata Savchenko, with his ex-wife Elena Samodanova, with whom he split in November 2020.

Olivia, Gleb's 14-year-old daughter, has been following in her father's footsteps as an "amateur ballroom dancer." She competed in her first dance competition in 2017, which Gleb proudly shared on social media. Olivia has since danced on stage with her dad during the Dancing with the Stars: Live! tour in March 2018.

Gleb's younger daughter, 7-year-old Zlata, is also a dancer. In December 2018, a video of Zlata dancing at a Los Angeles studio was posted on her Instagram account. Zlata has even shared the dance floor with her dad and Shai Chmerkovskiy, the son of Dancing with the Stars alum Maksim Chmerkovskiy. In July 2022, Zlata competed in her first dance competition with Gleb.

In addition to dancing, Zlata has also ventured into modeling, walking her "first fashion runway in Hong Kong" in October 2023 at the age of 6, according to her proud mom, Elena Samodanova. Gleb has referred to Zlata as his "princess."

After Gleb and Samodanova's split, the family moved to Hong Kong in 2023. Gleb told The Sun in March 2024 that his daughters have a "good life" abroad, where "it's all dance, dance, dance for the girls."
