Just last week, Samodanova didn’t hold back when she told her Instagram followers that she wasn’t impressed with her ex's actions, after he went on a romantic vacay with his new girlfriend, Cassie Scerbo, noting on a Livestream that Savchenko seemed to be moving on a little too quickly for her liking.
She also accused Savchenko of infidelity, which he denied, but a source told Us Weekly that troubles had been brewing for a while between the couple. “My advice is don’t give them a second chance. I gave Gleb second, third, fourth, fifth chances and we never worked it out. So don’t give him a second chance. … We used to say in Russia, ‘It’s better to be alone than with someone who doesn’t deserve you,'” she said.

This has been an ongoing situation between Elena and I paired with poor timing."
Earlier in the month, Stause announced that she was dating Keo Motsepe, and admitted that the rumors about being a factor in Savchenko's marital separation had caused her considerable stress.
