Brooks Nader Reveals Why She Likes "a Little Chaos" in Her Love Life
You have to love thy Met Gala run-ins.
And according to Brooks Nader, her sister Grace Ann Nader had one for the books after bumping into Bad Bunny at the May 4 event.
"She was cracking me up," Brooks told Page Six May 14, "because she was like, ‘I was in the bathroom with this guy who was like 90 years old, and he had a young person's voice and asked for my number.'"
The 29-year-old added that "it was Bad Bunny"—who memorably arrived to the Met Gala dressed up as an elderly man, complete with prosthetics, a head full of gray hair with a matching beard and a cane.
"I was like, ‘OK, Grace Ann, cool,'" Brooks went on, before saying that her younger sister, 26, was "an idiot" for not knowing who he was.
As for whether or not Grace Ann—who attended the Met Gala with her longtime boyfriend Jack Jones—gave the "DtMF" hitmaker her number, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model wasn't sure.
"I don't know," she said. "I didn’t even follow up, because I kind of had FOMO in a little bit of a way.”
Plus, she had other things to worry about, like filming for the upcoming Baywatch reboot that she'll star in alongside Noah Beck and Livvy Dunne.

"I was also filming Baywatch, so I was like, 'You know what? I'm working,' so I was fulfilled," Brooks said. "Everyone looked amazing at the Met Gala—except my sister!”
When it comes to her own dating life, the reality star was most recently romantically connected to Taron Egerton after packing on the PDA with the Rocketman actor during an intimate night out.

As for how she describe her love life—calm waters or a big wave coming in—Brooks told E! News May 14, "There would be so many waves."
"I like a little chaos," she added at Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit 2026 launch at NYC's Hard Rock Hotel. "If it's too calm, I'm out."

Billy Haire
Leaving her Louisiana home to pursue her modeling dreams at the age of 19, Brooks Nader knew she had to make some big deals. "When I moved to New York, my dad was like, 'You're living a full-ride scholarship. I have no money to support your life in New York. You better find a boyfriend,'" she explained to People. "Which I did, thank God, for just the rent purposes."
Though, she arguably grew quite fond of advertising executive Billy Haire, the duo marrying in New Orleans' French Quarter in December 2019.
Her mom and dad were less than thrilled to hear about their separation nearly five years later. "When I told my parents I was getting divorced, you’d think I killed somebody," she shared on the Love Thy Nader reality series she filmed with sisters Sarah Jane Nader, Grace Ann Nader and Mary Holland Nader. "They were like, 'This is the worst decision ever. Divorce is a sin.'"
But the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model would beg to differ. "Once I got to that other side, I realized, 'Wait, I got me. I can do anything I f--king put my mind to,'" she reflected to Bustle in 2025. "I was with someone for 10 years, and I cut it off and came out better. I can push out a human; I can start a company; I can get over anybody. It’s euphoric, that feeling."
As for Billy, he went on to charm another reality star, he and Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo announcing their engagement in December 2025.

Tom Brady
In the months following Brooks' divorce, it seemed she had snagged a pass from retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Though she and the NFL on Fox color commentator were spotted at Michael Rubin’s 2024 Fourth of July party in the Hamptons, any fireworks had dissipated by fall.
"She’s having fun as a single girl," sister Sarah Jane told Daily Mail that September. "I think it’s as exciting as it possibly could be."

Gleb Savchenko
Cast on Dancing With the Stars shortly after her 2024 divorce, Brooks was eyeing more than just the mirrorball trophy. Paired with pro Gleb Savchenko, the two quickly became partners IRL as well.
But much like their dances, their romance was largely physical. Single for the first time since she was 18, and doing the tango with "the hottest guy I've ever seen in my life," she detailed on Love Thy Nader, meant things escalated quickly.
"All we did was have sex," Brooks shared on the Freeform series, "because I didn't really talk to him that much."
Perhaps that lack of communication is why he felt blindsided when she confirmed in April 2025 that they were no longer in step.
They weren't even following the same routine, to be honest. "I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship," Gleb said in an April 7 statement to Us Weekly. "The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied."

Jannik Sinner
Jimmy Kimmel took a swing at getting Nader to confirm the rumors she was matched up with tennis phenom Jannik Sinner. "Are you dating Italian superstar Jannik Sinner?" he asked during her September 2025 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Her response? "Is this like an interrogation? I'm so scared right now."
Though she suggested Stephen Colbert could potentially serve up the truth. "Well, ask Stephen what match we were at," she said of sitting next to the late-night host during her Aug. 31 outing to the U.S. Open. Because, as she noted of Sinner, "I don't think he was at that one. You're close. You're warm, but we weren't at that match."

Carlos Alcaraz
What Brooks was trying to hint at in her back-and-forth volley on Kimmel was that she'd found a potential partner in Spanish athlete Carlos Alcaraz. "The rumors are true," sister Grace Ann exclusively told E! News at the Raising Cane's New York Fashion Week Show days later. Still, she cautioned it wasn't exactly love-all just yet. "Dating is such a loose term," she added. "But I do know he’s the man of the hour."
And while she was waiting for an introduction, he'd already made the acquaintance of their other sisters. "I'm dying to," Grace Ann said of meeting the seven-time Grand Slam champ. "Such a cutie."
As for those finding fault with the swimsuit model doubling up with the tennis stars, "I mean, dating is such a loose term these days," she mused during a September 2025 appearance on Watch What Happens Live. "Guys do it all the time. So why can’t I do it?"

Taron Egerton
Oh, how it felt so real when Rocketman actor Taron Egerton held his tiny dancer close during a March 28, 2026 date night in Los Angeles. Following a three-hour dinner at Capo in Santa Monica, Calif., he and Brooks walked arm-in-arm to nearby Shutters on the Beach to drink each other in.
