Gleb Savchenko and wife Elena Samodanova announced they are separating after 14 years of marriage on Friday.
And just 24 hours later, Savchenko’s estranged wife is accusing the Dancing With The Stars pro of ‘ongoing infidelity’ and ‘irrevocably’ breaking her trust.
‘After 14 years of marriage, and multiple affairs, I’ve decided enough is enough,’ she tells People. ‘Gleb and I have created a family and multiple businesses together. But apparently, it just wasn’t enough to keep our marriage strong.’

She continued: ‘Gleb’s ongoing infidelity and a recent inappropriate relationship has created turmoil in our marriage and absolutely torn our family apart.’
‘No wife should ever stand by and watch while another woman gifts her husband expensive presents, lures him out to dinners and seduces him at every turn,’ the mother-of-two revealed.
Without getting into detail, she said she could ‘no longer turn’ her ‘head the other way’ and that her trust in Gleb is irrevocably broken.
‘It is time that I walk away and begin to heal so I can be the best version of myself for my girls,’ she concluded.
