Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader is making headlines both on and off the court. The 28-year-old star of Hulu’s “Love Thy Nader” reportedly found herself romantically linked to not one, but two of the 2025 US Open’s top players: champion Carlos Alcaraz, 22, and runner-up Jannik Sinner, 24.
Brooks Nader’s Tennis Romance and Reality Show Confessions
Nader’s dating buzz started when her sister, Grace Ann Nader, spilled details during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio. “There are many players in the game,” Grace Ann teased, before hinting that Brooks was involved with someone whose name “rhymes with winner.”
Brooks, sitting beside her, quickly cut in with, “Stop talking! I’m going to punch you when we get home already.”
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel added fuel to the fire when he directly asked Brooks about Sinner. She laughed off the interrogation, saying, “You’re close… you’re warm.”
Days later, Grace Ann stirred the pot again, suggesting her sister was actually closer to Alcaraz, calling him “the man of the hour” after his US Open victory on September 7. Brooks was notably spotted front row at his earlier match against Arthur Rinderknech on August 31.
Neither Brooks, Alcaraz, nor Sinner has confirmed the rumors, though insiders say the timing was more than coincidental.
Divorce, Gleb Savchenko, and Life After Love Thy Nader
The dating speculation comes as Brooks’s personal life continues to be a central storyline on “Love Thy Nader.” The model finalized her divorce from real estate investor Billy Haire in 2024, ending a nearly five-year marriage that began when she was just 22.
Reflecting on the relationship, she told People, “I met my ex-husband when I was 18 and I was with him until I was 27, so he was my first date. I never dated, I had no experience, I didn’t know what love-bombing was.”
Shortly after her split, Brooks dove into a romance with her “Dancing With the Stars” partner Gleb Savchenko, a whirlwind she admitted was more physical than emotional. “All we did was have sex, because I didn’t really talk to him that much,” she confessed on her reality series, adding, “I wasn’t really addicted to sex when I was with my ex-husband.”
The model has also been linked to Tom Brady, though sources insisted it was casual. As for Alcaraz, the tennis star celebrated his US Open win at New York’s exclusive Chez Margeaux, surrounded by friends, family, and, yes, models.
New episodes of “Love Thy Nader” air weekly on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Freeform, and the entire season is available to stream on Hulu.
