The 33-year-old heartthrob is set to become a father for the second time after confirming that his dancer wife Elena is expecting a baby girl.
"We're expecting a baby girl, a second little girl," Gleb told E! News. "I'm going to be a dad again, it's amazing. I have a girl and I think nothing is better than a little girl for daddies."
Gleb and Elena are already parents to six-year-old daughter Olivia.

They both have jobs at Dancing With the Stars, with Gleb currently competing in the American competition with his celebrity partner Real Housewives star Erika Jayne, and Elena on the judging panel of the Russian version of the show.
He looks to be a doting father already, as last month he posted an adorable snap to Instagram teaching his daughter to do the splits in a dance studio.
But Gleb also has a keen eye focused on the competition at hand as he aims to lift the Glitterball trophy.
"I have a great partner," he enthused. "I've already pretty much won."

The Russian dance star previously quit Strictly Come Dancing, after just one season, in order to spend more time with his family.
"I think family is more important than fame," he told The Sun. "My wife needs to feel loved and I want to see my daughter grow up."
He explained that between his and Elena's hectic work schedules it was too hard to try and find time to spend together, saying: "My wife was trying to fly back and forth but it was too tough, I didn't want to miss out on so much and I made this decision to be with my family."
