Model and TV personality Brooks Nader has addressed rumours linking her to tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, after speculation about a potential love triangle dominated gossip columns during the US Open.
The 27-year-old Sports Illustrated model was first linked with Sinner after her sister Grace Ann hinted that she was seeing an athlete whose name “rhymes with winner.”
Grace Ann later fuelled the story by suggesting Alcaraz was also involved, prompting widespread social media chatter about tennis’ two biggest young stars allegedly competing for Nader’s affections.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Nader refused to confirm or deny either relationship but delivered a playful response to the ongoing speculation.
“I would just say, a lady never kisses and tells – especially twice, that's just not nice,” she said with a laugh.
“Dating is such a loose term these days. It's just… I don't know.
“By the way, my only thing is, guys do it all the time, so why can't I do it?”

Nader’s comments come after weeks of reports that she was seen in the players’ box during Alcaraz’s run to the US Open title, while also maintaining links to Sinner’s camp.
The swirling rumours sparked comparisons to the plot of Challengers, the hit tennis film starring Zendaya.
However, not everyone is convinced the story holds weight.

An insider quoted by US media suggested the model was using the speculation to keep her name in the headlines.
“Brooks' agenda now is to be connected to every story, relationship or drama as much as possible,” the source claimed.
“She wants to sell her show and have people continue to watch, and continue her quest to be a huge reality star.

Spanish journalist Alberto Guzman also downplayed suggestions that Alcaraz was romantically involved with Nader, insisting the reigning US Open champion remains single and focused on his career.
“Maybe Grace Ann is not well informed,” Guzman told Spanish outlet 20 Minutos.
“They’re not dating, it’s not an official relationship.
