Gleb Savchenko and Elena Samodanova, who once ruled the dancing world together, are now involved in a messy international custody battle. The ex-couple are now fighting over where their daughter must live and who should have her primary custody. The situation turned more complex in the past few days after Elena accused Gleb of keeping their teenage daughter, Olivia, in California. She has claimed that he stopped her from returning to Hong Kong, where their daughter lived with her. Meanwhile, the authorities from both countries are involved in the conflict.
How did the custody dispute begin between Gleb Savchenko and Elena Samodanova?
The custody battle goes back to 2023 when Gleb Savchenko agreed that his daughters, Olivia and Zlata, would live in Hong Kong with his ex-wife, Elena Samodanova. Initially, the trio had made the move for a limited time. In fact, Gleb claims that the whole arrangement was supposed to last for a year before they returned to the U.S.
