Taron Egerton and model Brooks Nader have ended their relationship, sources confirmed, just weeks after Egerton was seen meeting Nader's family. Egerton, 36, and Nader, 29, were first linked in March.
Egerton has reportedly returned to the exclusive dating app Raya, where he has updated his location to London in an effort to find someone closer to his home. He describes himself on the app as an actor originally from Aberystwyth, Wales, according to The Sun.
Nader confirmed her single status, with a source telling People that she is "totally single right now. She’s been going out on dates and having fun." Her primary focus, the source added, is filming the Baywatch reboot.
The romance between the Kingsman star and the Baywatch bombshell was subject to speculation during their relationship. Sources questioned whether their public displays of affection, including a PDA-filled outing in California, were a strategic move by Egerton to boost his profile for a potential role as James Bond. Egerton is reportedly on the shortlist to replace Daniel Craig.
Brooks Nader, who has 1.8 million followers, has been described as an "unabashed self-promoter" with a mantra of "Naked Ambition." Images of the couple kissing led some to speculate that their entanglement was a "showmance," a term for a romantic relationship entered into to boost public profiles.
Lauren Sanchez is reported to have introduced the pair at her wedding to Jeff Bezos in June. She then arranged a "proper date" for them in late March. A source told the Mail On Sunday that Nader had "been wanting to meet a celebrity for a very long time" and "wanted to be in a power couple."
The couple was photographed in March at Shutters On The Beach, a luxury hotel in Santa Monica, and later dined at Capo steak restaurant. One producer who has worked with Egerton expressed skepticism about the couple walking to dinner in Los Angeles, noting that "No one walks in LA. Ever."
Nader, a former beauty queen from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, gained significant media attention after being featured in Sports Illustrated in 2019 and later becoming its swimsuit cover star in 2023. She currently stars in the Hulu reality series "Love Thy Nader" with her sisters.
