Meet Carlos Alcaraz’s supermodel girlfriend Brooks Nader

When tennis royalty meets fashion royalty, sparks are bound to fly. Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old who’s already being hailed as the future of the sport, is reportedly dating American supermodel Brooks Nader. The news has sent fans buzzing—not just because of the unexpected pairing, but also because Brooks herself is a name to know in the fashion and lifestyle space. Let’s break down who she is, why she’s everywhere right now, and what makes this stylish couple so fascinating.

Rumours about Alcaraz and Brooks began swirling earlier this year, but it was Brooks’ sister, Grace Ann Nader, who finally confirmed the whispers. Speaking to E! News, she admitted: “The rumours are true. Dating is such a loose term, but I do know he’s the man of the hour.” It was the kind of half-hint, half-confirmation that the internet loves and just like that, the sports and fashion worlds collided.

Interestingly, Brooks was once linked to another tennis star, Jannik Sinner, who also happens to be Alcaraz’s rival. But she shut down those claims, and it seems the chemistry with Alcaraz is the real deal. The age gap between the two, she’s 28, he’s 22, has also added to the intrigue, but fans seem more excited than critical. After all, what’s not to love about a tennis champion and a cover girl teaming up?

Born in 1997 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Brooks Nader grew up the eldest of four sisters - Mary, Grace, and Sarah. Fashion wasn’t exactly the family business, but Brooks carved out her path when she won the Sports Illustrated Swim Search competition in 2019, beating out thousands of hopefuls. It was a career-making moment.

Her star only rose from there. By 2023, she had landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, sharing space with names like Megan Fox, Martha Stewart, and Kim Petras. That cover turned her into a household name for fashion enthusiasts. She’s since become a fixture at events, campaigns, and red carpets, known for her sultry yet approachable style.

What sets Brooks apart from other models is her ability to balance high-glamour modelling with relatable, business-savvy ventures. She’s more than just a pretty face, she’s building an empire.

If the surname Nader sounds familiar, it might be because Brooks stars in the reality series Love Thy Nader. The show, which launched in 2025, follows Brooks and her sisters as they navigate life, love, and careers. Think a little Keeping Up with the Kardashians but with a Southern twist.

“It’s been in the works for nearly three years,” Brooks explained in an interview with ABC News. The idea came after Hollywood agent James Dixon (famously nicknamed Baby Doll) met the sisters and was struck by their charisma. “He was just so entertained by us and thought, ‘why don’t we make this into a show?’” Brooks recalled.

The series has only amplified her reach, turning her into not just a model but a reality personality, businesswoman, and influencer rolled into one.

Brooks’ talents don’t stop at posing in swimsuits. She’s also ventured into interiors and jewellery, making her a modern multi-hyphenate. Her home décor line, Home by BN, brings her chic taste into living spaces, while her jewellery collaboration with Electric Picks features accessible yet stylish necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

These ventures give fans more ways to connect with her world, and they show she’s thinking about longevity beyond modelling. After all, in today’s fashion landscape, the smartest models aren’t just faces of campaigns—they’re brands in themselves. Brooks seems to understand that perfectly.

Brooks’ personal life has been just as headline-making as her career. She married advertising executive Billy Haire in 2019, but the marriage ended amicably in 2022. By 2024, she was linked to Prince Constantine-Alexios of Greece and Denmark, even making a glamorous appearance at Olivia Culpo’s wedding. The royal romance was short-lived, but it positioned her firmly in the “it-girl” dating universe.

Now, with Alcaraz, Brooks seems to have found a partner whose fame matches her own but in a completely different arena. He’s a tennis prodigy with a grounded charm, she’s a model-turned-entrepreneur with a flair for style. Together, they’re the kind of couple that fashion and sports media can’t resist covering.

So, are Brooks Nader and Carlos Alcaraz the new power couple in town? All signs point to yes. She brings fashion, reality TV, and entrepreneurial flair, while he brings trophies, charisma, and a massive global fanbase. Their pairing is unexpected but exciting, the kind of duo that captures attention whether they’re front row at fashion week or courtside at the US Open.

One thing is clear: Brooks isn’t just “Carlos Alcaraz’s girlfriend.” She’s a star in her own right, with achievements that stretch far beyond modelling. But as a duo, they’re a stylish reminder that when fashion meets sport, the world can’t help but watch.
