Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko Shared Kisses Backstage All Night at 'DWTS': Is It a Showmance or Real? (Exclusive)

The dancing partners told PEOPLE they have "chemistry" — but demurred on relationship rumors despite showing off plenty of PDA behind the scenes

Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars gave fans plenty of entertainment, from Jenn Tran’s music mishap to Anna Delvey’s shocking response to her elimination — but there’s plenty more that you didn’t see.

PEOPLE was in the elaborate ballroom for the taping, where backstage a hair and makeup station, a rehearsal warm-up area and a press tent are set up.

It was there that we spotted Brooks Nader and her (dancing) partner Gleb Savchenko boldly showing off PDA behind the scenes. They couldn't keep their hands off each other, with him tickling her from behind and grabbing her waist backstage as they waited to talk to press.

Continuously calling each other “babe,” Nader kept an arm around Savchenko and her hand on his stomach all night, and the two even snuck in small pecks earlier in the evening while practicing ahead of their performance. Even while getting makeup touch-ups, the seemingly budding couple held hands.

Still, they demurred on the rumors, with Savchenko telling PEOPLE exclusively that after spending so much time together, "We're so close and personal and she looks like that, and we just developed that chemistry."

It was also a headline-making night for Anna Delvey, who we spotted pushing through the curtains backstage with a big grin on her face, looking for her phone to make several calls to share the news of her elimination.

She had just been cut, and in a shocking moment told co-host Julianne Hough that she took away “nothing” from the show.

As the rest of the stars and pros trickled in backstge, Delvey offered her cast mates hugs goodbye. Tori Spelling, who was also eliminated, squeezed her tight, before Delvey and partner Ezra Sosa discussed their elimination.

Sosa appeared to be comforting Delvey, putting his hand on her shoulder, but she continued to smile and fix her hair in the mirror beside him. He later went to the stairs onstage and took photos by himself with the set.

Phaedra Parks’ family congratulated her for her standing ovation, and Rylee Arnold and Stephen Nedoroscik put their feet up and enjoyed a snack, giggling and joking around at the makeup stand.

In the ballroom, Jonathon Johnson waited for former Bachelorette Jenn while he took photos of Kelsey Anderson, who was there to support fiancé and former Bachelor Joey Graziadei.

When Tran joined the press line, Johnson went on top of the balcony in the ballroom to take photos of her before coming back down and waiting the entire time by the exit.

Daisy Kent, who was in the top two with Kelsey on season 28 of The Bachelor, was also there to support her ex, sitting alongside Jonathon a few rows back, not to be captured by cameras like Jonathon was in week 1.

Another member of the franchise, Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos sat in the audience but left quickly after, greeting some of the stars backstage and rushing out.

Backstage, Tran and her dancing partner Sasha Farber were joking around, whispering in each other’s ears and doing their secret handshake, which they showed PEOPLE during our interview.

Reginald VelJohnson was spotted making a post-show TikTok with partner Emma Slater, who revealed she was the first to show him the app.

Barry Williams also joined the audience, sitting front row beside the judge’s table. He stuck around after the show, greeting stars, pros and press as everyone filled the dance floor for interviews. He stayed to listen to a few, although declining any himself, and congratulated people on their dances this week as they walked by.

Another famous face spotted in the audience? Gabrielle Carteris stopped by to support fellow 90210 alum Tori, who said she was “grateful” to have Carteris there to watch despite being sent home.
