Confirmation of the Relationship
Spanish tennis champion Carlos Alcaraz, recently crowned the 2025 U.S. Open winner, is reportedly dating Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader. The confirmation came from Nader's sister, Grace Ann Nader, during the Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week Show on September 10, 2025. Grace Ann stated, “The rumors are true. Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.” She expressed her eagerness to meet Alcaraz, describing him as “such a cutie.”
Background on Brooks Nader
Brooks Nader, 28, has been in the public eye due to her modeling career and her recent participation in “Dancing with the Stars.” She finalized her divorce from Gleb Savchenko earlier this year after a tumultuous relationship. Prior to her connection with Alcaraz, Nader was rumored to be dating fellow tennis player Jannik Sinner, who was the runner-up at the U.S. Open. However, Grace Ann clarified that the current romantic interest is Alcaraz, not Sinner.
The Tennis Connection
Nader's presence at the U.S. Open sparked speculation about her dating life. During a September 2 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” she skillfully dodged questions about Sinner, hinting instead at her connection to another tennis player. When Kimmel asked if she was dating Sinner, she responded, “You’re close, you’re warm, but we weren’t at that match,” implying she was actually at Alcaraz's match against Arthur Rinderknech.
Alcaraz's Previous Romantic Links
Carlos Alcaraz, 22, has previously been linked to British tennis player Emma Raducanu, particularly after they partnered for a mixed doubles event at the U.S. Open. In interviews, Alcaraz has expressed the challenges of finding a partner due to his demanding travel schedule as a professional athlete. He stated, “I am looking for someone,” highlighting the difficulty of meeting the right person while on tour.
Criticism & Opposition
While the budding romance has generated excitement, it has also led to scrutiny regarding the timing and authenticity of their relationship. Some observers question whether Alcaraz had enough time to develop a new romance amidst his busy schedule during the U.S. Open. Additionally, the quick transition from rumors about Nader dating Sinner to her relationship with Alcaraz raises eyebrows.
Official Statements & Responses
Neither Alcaraz nor Nader has publicly confirmed their relationship status beyond Grace Ann's comments. However, the interest in their potential romance continues to grow, with fans eager for updates on the couple.
What's Next?
As both Alcaraz and Nader navigate their careers, fans are left wondering how their relationship will unfold. Will they choose to keep their romance private, or will they share glimpses of their relationship on social media? The dynamics of their lives as public figures will undoubtedly influence the narrative surrounding their romance.
