Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has once again found himself in the headlines—but this time, it’s not just for his achievements on the court.
The 22-year-old world number one is reportedly dating American model and media personality Brooks Nader, putting an end to ongoing speculation linking him romantically to British tennis star Emma Raducanu.
In recent months, Alcaraz and Raducanu had been the subject of widespread online rumors after appearing together in tennis-related events and promotional appearances.
However, Raducanu has consistently stated that the pair share a friendly and professional relationship only.
New details now suggest that Alcaraz’s romantic life lies elsewhere.
Speculation surrounding Alcaraz and Brooks Nader began to intensify after the model was spotted attending matches at the US Open, where Alcaraz went on to secure another major title.
While Brooks initially avoided confirming the identity of the tennis player she was linked to, playful hints during a late-night TV appearance sparked curiosity among fans and media outlets alike.
The rumors gained further traction after Brooks’ sister, Grace Ann Nader, publicly acknowledged that the pair are indeed seeing each other.
While stopping short of defining the relationship in formal terms, Grace Ann described Alcaraz as Brooks’ “man of the hour,” suggesting that the connection is very much current.
Brooks was seen supporting Alcaraz from the stands at Flushing Meadows as he claimed his second US Open victory, further fueling interest in their relationship.
Who Is Brooks Nader?
Brooks Nader is far more than a familiar face in the crowd. Born and raised in Louisiana, she has built a high-profile career across modeling, television, and digital media.
Her breakthrough moment came in 2019 when she won the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Swim Search, beating out more than 10,000 applicants.
The victory launched her into international recognition and secured her place in the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Since then, Brooks has appeared in multiple editions of the magazine and worked with leading publications such as Maxim and Us Weekly.
Her growing influence is reflected in her strong social media presence, where she shares fashion, travel, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her professional life with millions of followers.
Beyond modeling, Brooks has successfully expanded her career into television.
A graduate of Tulane University, she joined the cast of Dancing with the Stars (season 33), the American counterpart to Strictly Come Dancing.
Partnered with professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, Brooks impressed viewers with her performances and finished ninth overall in a competitive season featuring athletes, entertainers, and public figures.
Her appearance on the show significantly boosted her visibility beyond the fashion world.
Her television profile continued to rise with the launch of a Hulu reality series centered around the Nader sisters.
The show offers viewers a look into the personal and professional lives of Brooks and her sisters—Grace Ann, Sarah Jane, and Mary Holland—as they navigate careers, relationships, and life in the public eye.
Brooks finalized her divorce from advertising executive Billy Haire earlier this year.
The pair met when she was just 18 and married in 2019, though reports suggest they separated several years before the divorce was completed.
Following the separation, Brooks was briefly linked to several high-profile figures, including rumored connections to European royalty and speculation during her Dancing with the Stars stint. None of those relationships were publicly confirmed.
Now, her reported relationship with Alcaraz appears to mark a fresh chapter.
The tennis star has previously spoken about the challenges of maintaining a personal life while competing on the global tour, noting that constant travel makes relationships difficult to sustain.
Despite persistent speculation, Emma Raducanu has repeatedly clarified that her connection with Alcaraz is strictly platonic.
The two share mutual respect as young athletes navigating the pressures of elite tennis, but there has been no indication of a romantic relationship.
With Brooks Nader now firmly linked to Alcaraz, it appears those rumors can finally be put to rest.
While Brooks has not yet formally introduced Alcaraz to her family, her sister Grace Ann has expressed enthusiasm about meeting him, describing the tennis star as charming and approachable.
For now, both Brooks and Alcaraz remain focused on their respective careers.
Whether their relationship develops further remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Brooks Nader is a star in her own right, and her link to one of tennis’s brightest talents has only amplified public interest.
