Brooks Nader told People that she started dating her ex-husband, Billy Haire, largely to help cover expenses after moving to New York City, joking that the relationship was "just for rent purposes." The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 28, reflected on leaving her small Louisiana hometown as a teen and said her father advised her to find a boyfriend to help with living costs while she attended school on a full scholarship.
Nader married Haire in 2019 when she was 22 and he was 33. The couple announced they were ending their marriage in May 2024, and Page Six reported this year that their divorce was finalized in 2025. In the People interview, Nader said her early relationship experience left her inexperienced in dating and vulnerable to subsequent unhealthy dynamics.
Speaking about her post-divorce dating life, Nader addressed a relationship with her Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, whom she met while filming Season 33. The two sparked dating rumors last September after they were spotted kissing backstage, and were later seen together publicly, reportedly sharing tattoos and spending holidays with her family. Page Six reported the pair had broken up in April 2025; Savchenko told the outlet he was "surprised" to learn of the split through news reports.
Nader has said in her Hulu reality series Love Thy Nader, which premiered last month, that she ended the relationship after discovering Savchenko allegedly cheated on her with multiple women. Savchenko has denied those allegations.
Reflecting on her romantic history in the People interview, Nader said she entered relationships with limited experience. "I'm fresh off of a divorce, and when we started filming, I was very much so childlike in relationships," she said, adding that having been with her ex-husband from a young age left her unfamiliar with red flags such as "love-bombing."
Since her split from Savchenko, Nader has been linked in media reports to several high-profile figures. Page Six reported that during the 2025 U.S. Open she was romantically connected to tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, then the tournament's top two seeds. The outlet cited a source saying Nader was dating both players during the event.
Nader's comments to People and her depictions of recent relationships on Love Thy Nader add to a public timeline that includes her move to New York as a teenager, marriage to Haire in 2019, the couple's separation the following year, and subsequent relationships that have attracted tabloid attention. She has positioned some of those experiences as part of the narrative on her Hulu series, while those she has accused of wrongdoing have pushed back against her claims.
As the model and television personality continues to promote her work and navigate post-divorce life, public interest in her personal relationships has remained high, with outlets continuing to report on new links and developments.
