Gleb Savchenko is single again, and he is pointing his energy at a new project with a very on-brand home: OnlyFans TV. According to Us Weekly‘s Mike Vulpo, the Dancing With the Stars pro confirmed he has split from OnlyFans model Kaitlin Trujillo, and in the same conversation teased a dance show he created for the platform’s free streaming arm.
“We’re good friends”
Savchenko, 43, told Us Weekly at Press Pass LA’s 15-year anniversary event on Tuesday, November 10, that he is single. He described the breakup as mutual, saying the two are “good friends” who “decided to go our separate ways,” and that he is “taking my own time.”
The pair were first linked in January, when they were seen getting affectionate at the Studio City Farmers Market. Trujillo, 29, later showed up to support him at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show in Hollywood at the end of September. Us Weekly said it had reached out to Trujillo for comment. TMZ characterized the relationship as lasting nearly a year, and Just Jared also reported the split, both citing his comments to Us Weekly.
Focusing on himself
Rather than jumping back into dating before the year ends, Savchenko said he is spending more time at his house in the California desert. He had planned to sell it but pulled it off the market, and now wants to invest in it with a gym and a dirt bike. He also said he has returned to meditation and to boxing, something he did for a few years starting in his mid-teens. TMZ noted he credits the property with helping him through a “deep spiritual awakening.”
A dance show for OnlyFans TV
The detail that matters most for the creator economy came at the end. After sitting out season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, Savchenko told Us Weekly he has a project arriving at the beginning of January on OnlyFans TV. He kept specifics under wraps but said it is a dance show that he created, hosts and produces, and that it will feature a few familiar faces.
That puts him alongside other public figures using OFTV, OnlyFans’ safe-for-work streaming service, as a place to launch their own shows rather than waiting on a network. For a ballroom pro best known for a network competition series, owning the format outright is a notable move.
The takeaway
The breakup headline is the hook, but the business news is the January OFTV launch. If a TV-trained dancer can build and host his own series on a creator platform, it is one more sign that the line between network television and creator-owned content keeps getting thinner.
