Model Brooks Nader Responds to Speculations About Dating Ben Affleck
Model Brooks Nader is putting an end to the rumors about her dating Ben Affleck.
“Haven’t met him in my life,” Nader, 28, simply stated in Instagram comments on Saturday, January 24, addressing online speculation about a supposed relationship with Affleck, 53.
Affleck, who has not publicly commented on the rumors, has been single since his 2024 divorce from Jennifer Lopez. He was also previously married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children.
As for Nader, she has been single since late last year.
“I swear I’m single, and if I’m flirting, you’ve done it too. Don’t judge me. Let me flirt in peace,” Nader told Us Weekly in November 2025. “My poor dad calls me every other day asking, ‘Who’s this one? Who’s that one? What should I tell my friends in Louisiana?’ I’m just having a conversation; it’s wild.”
Nader was previously married to Billy Haire — who is now engaged to Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo — from 2019 to 2024. Later that year, she had a brief fling with her Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, which lasted until April 2025.
“I was newly divorced and I told them, ‘Give me the hottest, douchiest guy,’ and they set me up with Gleb,” Nader mentioned on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last month. “I felt such intense chemistry on our first day that it only grew stronger.”
According to Nader, she and Savchenko, 42, became intimate after their first day of rehearsals.
“Dancers have their own skills… I’ve heard that from many people, and it’s true,” she joked during her December 2025 appearance on WWHL. “Highly recommend. Just don’t marry the dancer, but definitely enjoy the dancer.”
Since her breakup with Savchenko, the Love Thy Nader star has been linked to several pro athletes, including Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Shaun White.
“It’s changing daily,” Brooks’ sister Grace Ann Nader teased on “The Viall Files” in August 2025, noting that Brooks has a full “roster” of potential suitors. “We’re branching out into several sports. I can’t say exactly which categories, but we’re moving into country club sports now.”
Brooks has denied all dating rumors, including the recent buzz surrounding her meetup with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen in November 2025.
“I adore all the Mormon Wives, and I love the show. We’re both part of the Hulu family, and I just met him for the first time,” Brooks told Us last year, referencing the shared network of Mormon Wives and Love Thy Nader. “We were just chatting normally, and it got blown out of proportion.”
She continued at that time, “There were rumors that we left together, but I actually left with my sisters. We went to dinner, and everything escalated from there. There’s nothing beyond that. Honestly, I don’t even know much about him.”
