Brooks Nader is not enamored with the narrative swirling around her love life. The star of "Love Thy Nader" swiftly addressed rumors suggesting a romantic liaison with Ben Affleck, providing a concise explanation as to why the report lacks credibility. Indeed, after gossip blogger Deuxmoi shared the alleged pairing on Instagram, Brooks, 28, commented on January 24th, "Haven't met him in my life."
Of course, Brooks, a former contestant on "Dancing With the Stars," who dated her professional partner Gleb Savchenko on and off for seven months before their breakup in April, is accustomed to addressing public curiosity about her romantic endeavors. After attending the US Open in August, Jimmy Kimmel was quick to inquire about rumors that she was romantically involved with tennis star Jannik Sinner.
"Are you dating Italian superstar Jannik Sinner?" he asked Brooks during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in September. To which she replied, "Is this an interrogation? I'm so scared right now." Moments later, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model directed Jimmy to reach out to fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert, whom she sat next to during the match in question. "Ask Stephen what match we were at," she continued, adding of Jannik, "I don't think he was at that one. You're close, you're warm, but we weren't at that match."
But Brooks—who was married to Billy Haire from 2019 to 2025—wasn't out of the woods yet. Later that month, Andy Cohen addressed another rumor about her US Open outing which suggested she was seeing Jannick and Carlos Alcaraz simultaneously.
"I would just say a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice," she said on Watch What Happens Live at the time. "That's just not nice." Besides, the reality star argued that she shouldn't have to answer for the public fascination with her romantic escapades. "Guys do it all the time," she noted. "So why can't I do it?"
