Brooks Nader Seems to Have Taken ‘Challengers’ Very Seriously

Everyone I have even a remotely intimate conversation with is aware that Luca Guadagnino‘s Challengers was one of my favorite films of 2024. In fact, I liked it so much I saw it three times in the theater and—for a brief blip in time—routinely egged on two heterosexual men to kiss for my own amusement in bars. But because I am certainly no Zendaya, art imitating life stopped there. Not for Brooks Nader, though.

This week, multiple outlets reported that the C-list model and reality television star allegedly dated not one, but two finalists at the 2025 U.S. Open. At the time of the tournament, Nader was being courted by the Open’s No. 1 and 2 seeds—Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Now, I don’t know anything about tennis, but apparently, Alcaraz and Sinner aren’t just opponents. They’re archrivals. Game, set match! Do you think they’ve ever kissed? Anyway!

Rumors of Nader’s two-on-one have been circulating since late August, during the press tour for Love Thy Nader, the reality show (read: Keeping Up With The Kardashians rip-off) in which Nader and her three sisters star. When the Naders joined SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Grace Ann told the hosts that Brooks boasted a roster of men from “every field and court” but “not the NBA” kind. She then added that one of the men’s names “rhymes with winner.”

“There are many players in the game,” Grace Ann said before Brooks stepped in. “Stop talking! I’m going to punch you when we get home already,” she interjected. But like any little sister, Grace Ann didn’t stop there.

On Wednesday, she told E! News Brooks was also dating Sinner’s competitor, Alcaraz, but he’s become the frontrunner. “The rumors are true,” Grace Ann told the outlet at Raising Cane’s New York Fashion Week show (LOL). “Dating is such a loose term, but I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
