The tennis world and the fashion scene have collided in spectacular fashion, with rumours swirling that Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz is romancing American model Brooks Nader. The confirmation? None other than Nader’s sister, Grace Ann Nader, who spilled the beans in a juicy interview, sending fans into a frenzy. As Alcaraz basks in his latest US Open glory, questions abound: is this the real deal, or just a fleeting courtside fling?
Carlos Alcatraz rarely confirming romances amid his whirlwind schedule
Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old prodigy from Murcia, Spain, has been dominating the ATP Tour since bursting onto the scene as a teenager. With six Grand Slam titles under his belt – including back-to-back Wimbledon wins and his triumphant 2025 US Open victory over rival Jannik Sinner on 7 September – Alcaraz is the undisputed king of the court. Known for his explosive athleticism, boyish charm, and that fresh platinum-blond buzz cut post-Flushing Meadows, he’s not just winning matches; he’s winning hearts. But off the court, Alcaraz has kept his personal life under wraps, rarely confirming romances amid his whirlwind schedule.
Brooks Nader unapologetic vibe have made her a modelling powerhouse
Enter Brooks Nader, the 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star from Louisiana, whose stunning looks and unapologetic vibe have made her a modelling powerhouse. Rising to fame after her 2019 SI debut, Nader has graced covers and runways worldwide, blending Southern belle elegance with bold confidence. She’s no stranger to the spotlight, especially now with her family’s new Hulu reality series, Love Thy Nader, which premiered in August 2025. The show follows Brooks and her sisters – Grace Ann, Mary Holland, and Sarah Jane – as they navigate fame, family drama, and high-stakes romance in true Kardashian-esque style. Brooks’s messy on-off relationship with Dancing with the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, which imploded spectacularly (complete with cheating allegations and threesome texts), was a centrepiece of the premiere, leaving her single and ready to mingle.
Alcaraz and Nader ignited rumours during the US Open
The spark between Alcaraz and Nader ignited rumours during the US Open. Brooks was spotted courtside, initially linked to Sinner after her sisters’ cryptic SiriusXM comments about a beau whose name “rhymes with winner.” But on Jimmy Kimmel Live on 2 September, Brooks teased, “You’re close,” clarifying she wasn’t at Sinner’s match but watching Alcaraz face France’s Arthur Rinderknech – seated with Stephen Colbert, no less. The plot thickened at the Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week show on 10 September, where Grace Ann confirmed to E! News: “The rumours are true. Dating is such a loose term, but I do know he’s the man of the hour.” She revealed Alcaraz has met Mary Holland and Sarah Jane, calling him “such a cutie,” though she hasn’t yet. Brooks’s DMs, flooded with athletes from “every field and court,” as her sisters quipped on The Viall Files podcast, suggest she’s playing the field – but Alcaraz seems to be acing it.
Nader, fresh from her 2024 divorce from businessman Billy Haire
However, not everyone is serving up full endorsement. Sources close to Alcaraz’s camp have downplayed the pairing, insisting there’s no “official relationship” yet, per Daily Mail reports. Nader, fresh from her 2024 divorce from businessman Billy Haire (whom she married in 2019 after a whirlwind romance), has a history of high-profile links, including whispers of a Greek prince and even Tom Brady (debunked). Her sisters previously boasted of her “roster” of suitors on podcasts, hinting at a selective dating game.
