Dancing with the Stars' Gleb Savchenko's Whereabouts Unknown as Ex-Wife Battles for Custody of Their Teenage Daughter

The dance floor isn't the only stage where a heated battle is brewing. In a shocking turn of events, 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Gleb Savchenko's ex-wife Elena Samodanova has taken legal action to find Gleb and their 15-year-old daughter Olivia. According to recent court documents obtained by our sources, Elena is urging Hong Kong authorities to return Olivia to China, claiming she hasn't had any contact with the teen since her arrival in Los Angeles on May 29. Originally scheduled to return on July 9, Olivia has reportedly gone missing, leaving Elena clueless about their whereabouts. Elena alleges that U.S. authorities are now involved, with the California District Attorney’s office taking steps to locate both Gleb and Olivia, as the case unfolds. An email presented in the documents supposedly shows that Gleb agreed to the July 9 return date, but Olivia never returned home. Elena claims communication has been limited to Instagram messages, with no phone contact or current address available for her daughter. Adding to the confusion, Olivia's Hong Kong phone number is said to be disconnected, and Gleb has allegedly failed to provide Elena with a new contact number. While Gleb maintains that Olivia wishes to stay with him in L.A. and attend school here, Elena insists that Hong Kong is the girls' home. In a bid to prevent any enrollment of Olivia in an L.A.-area school during the ongoing custody dispute, Elena has requested the California court to intervene. As the dance community waits with bated breath for their favorite pro to reclaim his spot on the ballroom floor, this off-stage drama continues to unfold. With a court hearing scheduled for August 18, the whereabouts of Gleb and Olivia remain a mystery, adding an unexpected twist to this compelling tale.
