Brooks Nader's love life is in the spotlight again. The Sports Illustrated model made an appearance on September 2 on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where host Jimmy Kimmel got right to questioning the reality TV star on who she's dating. 

Kimmel showed Nader a photo of herself at the 2025 US Open on Sunday, August 31, sitting next to Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, amid dating rumors with Jannik Sinner. He wasted no time in asking Nader about the rumored romance.

“Are you dating Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner?”

“Is this, like, an interrogation? I’m so scared right now!” Nader giddily responded.

Kimmel quipped, “It is, and you’re under oath.”

"Well, ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one,” Nader said. She and the Colberts were watching Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and France’s Arthur Rinderknech, and Sinner did not play on Sunday. 

Nader then began teasing Kimmel that his guess was not far off.

“You’re close. You’re warm,” she said.

“Oh, I see. It’s somebody else?” asked Kimmel.

“You’re warm … we weren’t at that match,” Nader responded.  

Brooks Nader's sisters tease Jannik Sinner romance

Brooks' sisters, Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane Nader, spoke to Page Six Radio last week, where they hinted at the model's love life. The sisters share that Brooks has her DM flooded from athletes in“every field imaginable but it's one hint that really got the model shocked.

"Every field and court,” Grace Ann said.

“Not the NBA court,” Grace Ann clarified, seemingly referring to a tennis court.

Sarah Jane jumped in, telling Grace Ann not to share any more details. The host continued to clarify if it meant a tennis court which Brooks replied, “Oh s–t, you guys are making me sweat.”

However, it didn't matter what her sisters said because Grace Ann continued to give another hint: “It rhymes with winner.”

Fans quickly suspected tennis star Jannik Sinner, but neither of them has confirmed their romance.
