Brooks Nader is keeping her cool — and her confidence — despite the latest swirl of online rumors. The “Love Thy Nader” star attended a Galentine’s Beauty Evening in Los Angeles on Jan. 29, where she opened up to PEOPLE about everything from her self-image to her relationship status.
When asked about how she handles viral speculation, the model and influencer didn’t miss a beat. “It’s like par for the course,” Nader said simply. “You know, it always happens.”
The calm comes after Nader was swept up in a wave of gossip linking her romantically to Ben Affleck. The talk began online, but on Jan. 24, celebrity rumor account Deuxmoi clarified that the two had “never met.” Nader herself echoed that statement in a comment on the post, writing, “Haven’t met him in my life.”
At the event, Nader set the record straight about where she stands romantically — and she seems to be embracing her single era. “Totes, yep, I’m ready to go!” she told the outlet with a laugh.
Over the past several months, the “Dancing with the Stars” alum’s name has been linked with several familiar faces, including professional tennis players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. More recently, she was spotted chatting with “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Dakota Mortensen during Hulu’s launch party on Nov. 11.

While her dating life occasionally makes headlines, Nader seems unbothered by the chatter. And after her on-off relationship with DWTS pro Gleb Savchenko ended last spring, she’s made it clear she’s focusing on herself — and keeping her sense of humor intact.

During her appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on September 17, Brooks had the perfect response when asked directly about it. A fan posed the question that was on everyone’s mind: Did Jannik and Carlos know about each other?
“I would just say a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice,” she quipped. “That’s just not nice.”
However, it was her sister, Grace Ann Nader, who truly stirred the pot from her seat in the audience. With a mischievous grin, Grace Ann interjected, “Especially not to her other boyfriend.” The playful remark momentarily stunned Brooks, but she quickly regained her composure, flashing a grin and shrugging it off.
