The news comes four months after they celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary. In July, Gleb showed some love for Elena, writing on Instagram, “Two souls but with a single thought, two hearts that beat as one. Happy 14th Anniversary my love ❤️ @elenasamodanova.”
In September, Elena gushed about Gleb on his birthday, writing on Instagram, “Happy birthday to the most awesome, wonderful, outrageously funny, courageous, handsome and great hubby you are… @glebsavchenkoofficial #love #family #husband.”
