There is no evidence that the producers of Dancing with the Stars are "aggressively pushing" dating rumors between Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko to boost ratings. In fact, both Nader and Savchenko have directly addressed and dismissed the dating rumors:
Savchenko explained to TMZ that while Nader is "cool and fun", he is not romantically interested in her and is not focused on dating anyone right now.
The playful interactions between Nader and Savchenko on social media, such as Nader sitting on Savchenko's lap in a TikTok video, seem to have naturally sparked fan speculation about a potential romance. However, both contestants have been clear that their connection is one of dance partners with strong on-stage chemistry, not a real-life relationship.

While the producers may highlight the pair's chemistry for dramatic effect, as is common on reality competition shows, there is no evidence they are actively pushing false dating rumors. The contestants themselves have been proactive in shutting down the rumors and keeping the focus on their dancing. The show's success relies on authentic stories, so fabricating relationships would likely backfire.
