Similarly, Samodanova's ex-husband, Savchenko, confirmed the news of their split via an Instagram post, where he posted a picture of himself with Samodanova and their kids.
He wrote:
"It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my wife and I are parting ways after 14 years of marriage. We still intend to co-parent 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 separation of the longtime couple came three months after they celebrated their fourteenth wedding anniversary in July 2020. While they celebrated their lovely time together, Savchenko, age 37, wrote 'Two souls but with a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one. Happy 14th Anniversary my love' on his Instagram post that featured their wedding image.
Similarly, Samodanova updated the video relationship timeline throughout the years on her Instagram feed. She captioned, '14 years Together!! Real Love stories never have endings '❤️❤️❤️ @glebsavchenkoofficial now it’s 4 of us 👨👩👧👧' on the post.
The split appears to be more tragic to Savchenko, who got eliminated from the dance reality show, Dancing With The Stars with his dance partner, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause. Stause spoke about her bond with Savchenko after the news flashed. She stated;
"He is the absolute best. I absolutely love him. He is so patient and he's just ... he knows how to push me, but not in a way that's intimidating, and I think that that is a little bit what I was scared of working with a pro. I just felt there's a lot of intimidation there with feeling like they're going to be disappointed when they find out they were paired with you because there are some people that are already so talented."
Elena Samodanova and Gleb Savchenko were married back on 13 July 2006 in Moscow, Russia. They have welcomed a couple of kids, namely, Olivia and Zlata, together in nearly one and a half-decade long married life. Currently, they are looking forward to their settlement but seeks to co-parent their children together.
