“Listen, we do have a crazy chemistry, and being in the ballroom after five weeks, having a break — it was amazing," Savchenko said in a joint interview with the model. “Joey [Graziadei] and Jenna [Johnson], congratulations to them, they were incredible tonight and everyone else, and we killed the rumba. I felt like we could have been in the finals.”
“It was so much fun being back and being with all the other cast members,” Nader said. “We had a few days at the practice studio practicing together and it was fun to be back.”
Though the pair didn’t come out on top, she added: “We definitely won other things out of it other thanthe Mirrorball.”

Savchenko admitted that there was still a palpable chemistry between himself and his dance partner after the two previously dated but hada public split.
“You can’t deny it — it’s a fact. It’s there, yeah, that’s for sure,” the Russian choreographer said, adding, “Listen, we’re just having fun, we’re living life, we’re doing us, and we’re just having a lot of fun.”
Their fun includes holiday cheer with Nader’s family, even though theSports IllustratedSwimsuit Issue model won’t be preparing any meals.
“I am hosting at my house, and all my sisters are going to be there. No one’s cooking, Raising Cane’s — this isn’t an ad — but they will be involved. I’m ordering everything. I’m not cooking anything,” Nader toldExtra.
