Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, 22, has been served a new romance with model Brooks Nader, 28.
Nader’s sister, Grace Ann Nader, told E! News that while the romance speculation between her sister and tennis player Jannik Sinner wasn’t accurate, fans were on the right track in thinking she was with a tennis star.
“The rumors are true,” Grace Ann told the publication. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
According to E!, the Grand Slam champion has met two out of Brooks’s three sisters, Mary Holland Nader, 26, and Sarah Jane Nader, 23. However, Grace Ann is anxiously awaiting her turn to meet her sister’s new beau.
“I’m dying to,” she added. “Such a cutie.”
The eldest of four daughters has not yet confirmed the nature of her relationship with the tennis player, but did dismiss rumors that she was dating Sinner last week while speaking with Jimmy Kimmel. “You're close,” she said at the time, clarifying that she was not at Sinner’s U.S. Open match. “You're warm, but we weren't at that match.”
Prior to her relationship with Alcaraz, Brooks was dating her Dancing with the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, until he reportedly broke up with her via text message.
During their time together on the show, the pair quickly fell into a showmance as the reality series saw them kissing while rehearsing, in addition to various TikToks of the dancing duo getting matching tattoos together. However, after the couple was eliminated, Savchenko eventually confirmed in November that he ended their relationship over text.
In an interview with TooFab at the Gurus Awards, the dancer explained why he decided not to end the relationship in person. “Sometimes you can be mixed up in a conversation. So I always like to write everything down,” he told the outlet.
“When I wrote that down, it felt like it was perfect, because the moment you start a conversation, you might get lost, so it’s better to just write it down.”
As for Alcaraz, the professional tennis player has previously spoken about how difficult it can be to date on top of his demanding career.
“I am single. I am looking for someone,” he told The Sunday Times in July 2024. “It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time.”
Although without a special someone, he has emphasized how much he relies on his family as a support system. “When I finish a tournament, it doesn’t matter if I win or not, I just want to get home to be with my family,” he told the publication. “I live with my mom and dad, my older brother, and two younger brothers. To them, I am not a big tennis star, just a normal guy.”
