Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader may have let slip more than she intended when she sat down with Jimmy Kimmel this week.
The 28-year-old beauty didn’t exactly confirm who she’s seeing, but her playful responses had viewers buzzing—especially those curious about her rumored link to tennis star Jannik Sinner.
Family Teasers and a Mysterious DM
The speculation actually started with Nader’s sister, Grace.
She hinted that an athlete whose name “rhymes with winner” had slid into her sister’s DMs just days before Brooks was spotted courtside at the US Open in New York.
Naturally, that clue led many fans straight to the name of World No. 1, Jannik Sinner.
Jimmy Kimmel Puts Her on the Spot
During her Kimmel appearance, the host couldn’t resist pulling up a photo of Nader watching the matches alongside comedian Stephen Colbert.
Then came the big question: was she dating Sinner?
Brooks squirmed, laughed, and jokingly asked if she was “under oath.”
Her coy comeback?
“You’re close, you’re warm.”
Not exactly a denial.
Keeping the Mystery Alive
When Kimmel pressed further, suggesting maybe it was another tennis star, Nader kept up the teasing game.
“You’re warm, but we weren’t at that match,” she replied, still refusing to give a straight answer.
For context, she was actually spotted watching Carlos Alcaraz play that day, sitting next to Colbert by what she insists was pure coincidence.
Playing the Field
Despite all the buzz, Nader has described herself as happily single.
In a recent chat on Sirius XM’s Page Six Radio, she admitted to keeping a “little roster” of dates.
Grace, once again, stirred the pot by revealing that plenty of athletes—from “every field and court”—have been chasing her sister’s attention.
A Look at Her Past Romance
Nader’s love life has already drawn headlines this year. Back in April, she split from Gleb Savchenko, the professional dancer she met while appearing on Dancing with the Stars.
Since then, she seems to be enjoying the freedom of exploring new connections without rushing into anything serious.
Tennis Stars in the Mix
Adding fuel to the rumor mill, Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz is also single.
He has previously been linked to British star Emma Raducanu after they played mixed doubles together this summer.
Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner is fresh out of a relationship with Russian player Anna Kalinskaya.
With both young champions unattached, fans are eager to know if Nader is truly in the picture.
All Eyes on the US Open
While Brooks Nader plays coy about her dating life, the real action is on the court.
Alcaraz faces Novak Djokovic in what promises to be a blockbuster semifinal, while Sinner is heavily favored to advance against Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime.
If both men win, they’ll meet in a headline-grabbing final at Arthur Ashe Stadium—making the tennis spotlight even brighter on Nader’s rumored connections.
