Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader drew widespread attention for a playful reply to rumors that she was dating both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner while they battled at the 2025 US Open. The moment occurred during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, when a fan asked whether the two tennis stars knew about each other. Nader declined to confirm or deny the rumors, suggesting that dating is a loose term these days and that she does not kiss and tell, especially twice. The exchange took place as Alcaraz defeated Sinner in four sets, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, to win the championship.
During the same appearance, Nader's sister Grace Ann, who was in the audience, joined in with a quip about another boyfriend, prompting laughter and a standing ovation from host Andy Cohen and guest Mark Ronson. Nader reiterated that dating can be a loose term and did not provide a definitive answer about whether Alcaraz and Sinner knew about the other. The lighthearted moment generated social-media chatter and drew attention from entertainment and sports outlets alike.
Earlier this month, members of the Nader family teased the romance on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, with Grace Ann confirming that Nader was dating Alcaraz. Alcaraz and Sinner have not publicly addressed the rumors. The sisters, who live in New York City, star in their own reality show, Love Thy Nader, on Hulu and Freeform, which follows their modeling work and personal lives, including Brooks Nader's high-profile divorce from ex-husband Billy Haire in 2024 after nearly five years of marriage.
The crossover between sports and celebrity culture has become a hallmark of modern media, with the US Open serving as a focal point for fans who follow both athletic competition and the accompanying entertainment storylines. The tournament’s final drew international attention not only for the on-court drama but also for the public interest in the personal lives of the athletes and the models who rub shoulders with them in the broader entertainment ecosystem. As Alcaraz and Sinner navigate their careers beyond the court, the conversations around dating rumors and reality television appearances illustrate how deeply interwoven sports and culture have become in the current media landscape.
Brooks Nader continues to balance high-profile modeling assignments and her role in a reality series that chronicles her life in New York City and beyond. The US Open moment adds another layer to a year that has already seen her public profile rise, reflecting the ongoing interest in the intersections of fashion, sports, and celebrity culture.
