Model Brooks Nader has decisively quashed rumors linking her romantically to Ben Affleck.
Responding to the swirling speculation, Nader, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday, January 24, to clarify. She stated unequivocally, “Haven’t met him in my life,” addressing the online buzz suggesting a hookup with the 53-year-old Affleck.
Ben Affleck, who has remained silent on these rumors, has been single since his 2024 split from Jennifer Lopez. Before Lopez, he was married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children.
Nader, on the other hand, has not been in a relationship since the end of last year.
“I swear I’m single and if I’m flirting, you’ve been there too. Do not judge me. Let me flirt in peace,” Nader exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2025. “My poor dad, though, calls me every other day, and he’s like, ‘Now, who’s this one? Now, there’s another one. Now, who’s this one? And what am I supposed to tell my friends in Louisiana?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m having a damn conversation.’ It’s so crazy.”
Nader was married to Billy Haire — who is now engaged to Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo — from 2019 to 2024. Later that year, Nader rebounded with her Dancing With the Stars pro partner, Gleb Savchenko, and they dated on and off until April 2025.
“I was newly divorced and I told them, ‘Give me the hottest, douchiest guy,’ and they gave me Gleb,” Nader said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last month. “I felt as though there was so much sexual tension on the first day we met, that it would just get worse and worse.”
According to Nader, she slept with Savchenko, 42, after their first day of rehearsal.
“Dancers know how to … I’ve heard that from a lot of people and it’s true,” she quipped during her December 2025 appearance on WWHL. “Highly recommend. Don’t marry the dancer, but f*** the dancer.”
In the months since Nader and Savchenko called it quits, the Love Thy Nader star has been romantically linked to pro athletes Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Shaun White.
“It’s changing every day,” Brooks’ sister Grace Ann Nader teased on “The Viall Files” in August 2025, claiming that Brooks has an entire “roster” of suitors. “We’re spanning quite a few [sports]. I won’t say categories, but I will say we’re dipping more into, like, the country club sports now. We’re getting off the field.”
Brooks, meanwhile, has denied every dating rumor — including her now-viral meet up with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen in November 2025.
“I love all of the Mormon Wives, and I love the show. We’re both in the Hulu gang, and I just met him for the first time,” Brooks told Us last year, referring to Mormon Wives and Love Thy Nader airing on the same network. “We were just chatting like normal people, and it got spun out of control.”
She continued at the time, “There was a rumor that we left together, and I actually left with my sisters. We went to dinner so things spun out of control. There’s nothing more than that. I don’t even know anything about him to be honest with you.”
