Brooks Naderis not holding back!

TheSports Illustratedmodel, 27, did aTikToklive stream on Tuesday, Nov. 26 ahead of theDancing with the Starsseason 33finale,where she will be dancing with former partnerGleb Savchenko. After the two sparked dating rumors during their time on the show, it was revealed later that they broke up after their elimination, but fans wondered what really went down between the two.

“He was going through something and then he said, ‘Picked up my stuff. I’m going to Joshua Tree tomorrow for a few nights. We should have a conversation but I think I’m done,’” Nader read as she scrolled through her alleged texts with Savchenko. “‘I care about you. I think you’re an amazing person. You always have a special place in my heart. I love you.' That was on October 23.”

“I never responded,” she continued. “Then, October 25, he said, ‘I miss you.’ Then, October 26, ‘I’m so sorry, I want to talk to you. I actually miss you.’ Then, of course, we had a little chit-chat.”

Earlier in the live stream, she left her trailer to ask Savchenko if she could share their conversation, giggling as she called him “boo” before pausing the video.

It remains unclear what led to the breakup — and if the pair are back together — but just one day before the live stream, Nader and Savchenko were seenpacking on the PDAin severalDWTScast members’ social media videos.

It ended with Nader spotting the camera and jumping back down to the floor, still keeping Savchenko wrapped in her arms.

Throughout their time on the show, Nader and Savchenko sparked dating rumors after they werespotted kissing backstage, getting flirty in TikTok videos and even revealing they gottattoostogether.

Aftera source confirmedto PEOPLE in late October that the pair had split, they began dropping hints about what went wrong with back-and-forth TikTok videos. Then, on Nov. 16,they got dinnertogether at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, Calif. before rehearsals picked up for their performance at theDWTSfinale.

“Annnnnd they’re back together 😂” Slater commented.

The plot thickened when Nader was seen leaving rehearsals on Sunday, Nov. 24,wearing a diamond pear-shaped ringon her left ring finger.
