“Dancing With the Stars” celebrity Gleb Savchenko becomes a U.S. Citizen. He explains why becoming a citizen changes his life and calls it a “Dream Come True”.
The 37-year-old star shares the details of the thrilling experience in an interview. He also gives a dating update and reacts to Chrishell Stause’s new romance.
Gleb said, “It’s a dream come true. I grew up in Russia, in Moscow, and I’d always just read [about the States]. It was like an impossible dream for me to live in America and one day become an American citizen.”
He explains that having an American passport makes his life easier. He’s also excited that his Moscow-based parents will now be able to live in the U.S. with him as well. He stated, “I sent a picture to my dad, and he kind of got a little emotional,”
The star continues. “They’re not getting younger, so I was like, it’d be a great opportunity for them at some point to come live here, too. I cannot even describe how awesome it is. I am so, so happy.”
Gleb moved to the States in 2004. He had to leave the country and didn’t return again until 2013. Gleb had to struggle hard, but he doesn’t have much to complain. He said, “I love working, I love dancing, I love creating and I love being in the studio,” he enthuses. “It’s such an amazing gift that I have from the universe, and being from Russia, now I have an American passport, I’m on Dancing With the Stars. I’m like, ‘Oh, my god, life is all happening!'”
