Photos of Gleb and Brooks out and about in L.A. together captured them kissing, wrapping their arms around each other, and smiling big.
Brooks was rocking a white crop top with jean shorts, while Gleb was also casually dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans.
Gleb and Brooks, a model best known for her appearances in Sports Illustrated, recently sparked romance speculation with their flirty behavior in rehearsals and when speaking to Dancing with the Stars co-host Julianne Hough in their post-performance interviews.
Their chemistry has also been pretty apparent on the dance floor for the first two weeks of the Dancing with the Stars competition.
A TikTik video also began circulating on social media earlier this week of Gleb and Brooks kissing backstage at the show.

On the premiere of Dancing with the Stars' 33rd season, Gleb and Brooks performed a sexy tango to "Pieces of Me" by Britney Spears.
Brooks told Us after taking the stage with Gleb for the first time that she definitely has chemistry with the pro dancer and choreographer.
"I think that when you have that energy in real life, it's easy to bring it to the dance floor every week," Brooks said.
"That will be a theme throughout the season. But it's a huge bonus to actually really be into your partner. You have to be with this person sweaty and on top of them all day for five hours. Every day -- not just show day."
She added, "So it's kind of nice that you like each other."

Gleb, meanwhile, told the magazine that he and Brooks bonded "over TikToks," which the pair frequently share on the model's account.
"We started doing a lot of TikToks," Gleb shared. "We were like, 'Why don't we just do it?' And then we were killing it so hard."
During Week 2 of the Dancing with the Stars competition, Gleb and Brooks danced a quickstep to Dolly Parton's "9 to 5."
While giving the couple feedback, Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba touched upon Gleb and Brooks' almost-kiss during rehearsals.
But Brooks quipped to the magazine, "I kiss everyone I know. All my friends. I love to kiss, so, like, don't take it to heart. Don't take offense. It's just a peck."

Gleb agreed and acknowledged of his celebrity partner, "She loves to kiss."
Brooks was previously married to advertising executive Billy Haire. The former couple had been married for four years before they divorced in May.
Gleb, for his part, was married to pro dancer Elena Samodanova for 14 years. The pair announced their decision to divorce in November 2020, and they share two daughters together: Olivia, 13, and Zlata, 7.
At the time Elena and Gleb's split made headlines, Elena had accused Gleb of "ongoing infidelity" and "a recent inappropriate relationship" that broke her trust. Elena also claimed that Gleb had "multiple affairs" during their marriage.
