Brooks Nader is tackling the swirling rumors regarding her potential romance with Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on September 2, the 28-year-old model found herself in the spotlight when Kimmel presented a photo of her at the 2025 US Open alongside Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evelyn McGee-Colbert. The image, taken on August 31, set the stage for a direct inquiry.
Kimmel, known for his playful banter, asked, “Are you dating Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner?” Nader, caught off guard, replied with a hint of humor, “Is this, like, an interrogation? I’m so scared right now!” To which Kimmel responded, “It is, and you’re under oath.”
Instead of confirming or denying the rumors, Nader cleverly deflected the question. “Well, ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one,” she said. Notably, Sinner, 24, did not compete at Arthur Ashe Stadium that day; Colbert was seen enjoying a match between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech.
Nader added a playful tease, stating, “You’re close. You’re warm.” Kimmel pressed further, “Oh, I see. It’s somebody else?” Nader replied, “You’re warm… we weren’t at that match,” prompting Kimmel to shift topics quickly.
The speculation intensified when Nader’s sisters—Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane—hinted at her dating life during a recent SiriusXM Page Six Radio segment. Nader mentioned receiving direct messages from athletes across various sports. Grace Ann chimed in with a playful jab: “Every field and court.”
Grace Ann continued the teasing by saying, “Not the NBA court,” leading cohost Evan Real to inquire if Nader was seeing a tennis player. “It rhymes with ‘winner,’” she added, further fueling the rumors.
Meanwhile, Sinner has also been at the center of dating speculation following his victory over Denis Shapovalov at the US Open on August 30. Observant fans noted an intriguing detail: Sinner’s phone lock screen featured a photo of Danish model Laila Hasanovic.
Hasanovic, 24, has worked with high-profile brands such as Prada and Armani. The image on Sinner’s phone appears to be from a July campaign for Armani Beauty.
As for Nader’s romantic history, she was previously linked to Dancing With the Stars professional Gleb Savchenko, 41. The two ended their relationship in April after partnering on the reality competition last year.
