• Sports Illustrated model, Brooks Nader, is reportedly dating tennis champion Carlos Alcaraz.
  • Her sister, Grace Ann Nader, confirmed that dating rumors between Brooks and Carlos were true at a New York Fashion Week event on September 10.
  • Brooks was previously rumored to be dating another tennis star, Jannik Sinner, before the news was confirmed.

It turns out Brooks Nader is romantically linked to a tennis star, after all—but it’s not the one you’re thinking. After the Sports Illustrated model made her rounds at Wimbledon and the US Open this year, she was rumored to be dating Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner. However! Brooks’ younger sister, Grace Ann Nader, seemingly confirmed that she was seeing someone else instead...that person being six-time Grand Slam champion, Carlos Alcaraz.

“The rumors are true,” Grace Ann exclusively told E! News at the Raising Cane’s NYFW Show on September 10. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”

She also revealed that the Spanish athlete has already been introduced to their other sisters, Mary Holland Nader and Sarah Jane Nader, though she hasn’t had a chance to meet him. “I’m dying to,” she said, adding that the tennis star is “such a cutie.”

Brooks was first rumored to be dating Jannik (who, btw, has been crushing the ATP circuit) earlier this summer. The Dancing With the Stars alum was even asked about the maybe-romance during a September 2 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where she finally clarified the rumors...kind of.

“Is this an interrogation? I’m so scared right now!” she said, before cryptically adding, “You’re close, you’re warm. You’re warm, but we weren’t at that match.”

The match she was at, though? Carlos’ game against France’s Arthur Rinderknech on August 31. In a coincidental plot twist, Carlos won the US Open final Men’s Single match against Jannik on September 7. Dare we say it’s giving Challengers?

Neither Brooks nor Carlos has weighed in on their budding relationship just yet, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled to see if they pack on PDA anytime soon.
