Monday 6 June 2022 06:43 PM Jana Kramer and dance partner Gleb Savchenko alleged affair denied trends now

Gleb Savchenko has denied a rumor that he had an affair with his celebrity dance partner Jana Kramer while filming Dancing With The Stars.

Rumors of an affair began when Jana's ex-boyfriend Ian Schinelli made accusations that she had 'slept with Gleb' in 2016 while still married to now-ex-husband Mike Caussin.

Jana and Gleb, both 38, met when filming season 23 of the long-running dance competition series in 2016. 

At the time, Jana's partner Mike was seeking treatment for sex addition, and Gleb was still together with his now-estranged wife Elena Samodanova.

However, speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Gleb shut the rumors down saying "absolutely not" when asked if anything had happened between himself and Jana. 

'Have we ever had anything? Absolutely not. Absolutely not,' he said. 'Whatever she might have said it to her boyfriend, maybe she tried to make him jealous, you know. You can ask her the same question, she'll probably answer the same thing.'

Us Weekly reported rumors of the alleged affair last week.

Following her final split from Caussin in April 2021, the One Tree Hill star went on to date for Navy Seal Ian Schinelli, who claimed to Us Weekly that she told him of an affair with Savchenko. 

'Jana has admitted to me that she slept with two guys while Mike was in rehab. She slept with Gleb,' he alleged. 'She justified it saying, "We were legally separated."'

He added that the professional dancer also factored into their relationship.

'She even tried to meet up with Gleb while we were dating,' Schinelli claimed. 'He was doing a show in Nashville and she asked me if it was OK if she met up with him. I said, "As long as there was nothing there anymore," and she said, "No."'
