The rumours are true that Brooks Nader is dating one of the biggest stars in tennis — it’s just not the guy that everyone thought it.
After speculation that the blonde bombshell is dating Jannik Sinner, the SI Swimsuit model apparently is actually snuggling up to Carlos Alcaraz — who defeated the Italian in the U.S. Open final on Sunday and took the world No. 1 ranking from him.
Nader’s younger sister, Grace Ann, revealed news of the romance while attending the Raising Cane’s NYFW Show on Wednesday.
“The rumours are true,” Grace Ann told E! News. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
Grace Ann — who stars with Brooks and their family in new reality TV show Love Thy Nader — also shared that she’s “dying to” meet the Spanish star, adding he’s “such a cutie.”
Brooks Nader, 28, and the 22-year-old Alcaraz have yet to confirm they’re dating.
Nader attended several events in New York City during the U.S. Open — including Alcaraz’s Round of 16 match — and was present at the trophy presentation after Alcaraz beat Sinner for the title, his sixth Grand Slam championship.
The cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit commented about the rumours that she is dating Sinner during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week.
Towards the end of Kimmel’s interview with Nader, Kimmel asked about the match she attended between Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech.
“You were at the U.S. Open on Sunday,” he said while holding a picture of Nader with Late Night host Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evie, in the stands. “You’re sitting there with Colberts … were you with them or was this a coincidence?”
“This was a coincidence,” Nader replied, after which Kimmel cut straight to the point, asking: “Are you dating the Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner?”
Nader looked shocked, but then jokingly asked, “Is this like an interrogation? I’m so scared right now.”
“Well, ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one. You’re close, you’re warm,” she then told the host.

Kimmel then asked if it was somebody else, to which Nader said: “You’re warm, but we weren’t at that match.”
The Nader-Sinner dating rumour came to light last week when Nader’s sisters hinted during a radio interview that the four-time Grand Slam champion had slid into the model’s DMs.
“Every field and court,” Grace Ann Nader said of the athletes who have messaged her star sibling, adding, “It rhymes with ‘winner.’”
