Carlos Alcaraz is reportedly dating former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ contestant and swimsuit model Brooks Nader, putting an end to speculation about a potential romance with fellow tennis star Emma Raducanu.
Rumours of a romantic connection between Alcaraz and Raducanu have been swirling for months, despite neither player confirming a relationship. The speculation intensified after they teamed up at the US Open mixed doubles championship, before Alcaraz clinched the men’s singles title.
However, model and reality TV star Grace Ann Nader has confirmed that her sister Brooks is now romantically involved with the six-time Grand Slam champion. Brooks Nader was spotted at the US Open, and her sister has now confirmed the dating rumours.
“The rumours are true,” Grace Ann told E! News. “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
Grace Ann and Brooks feature alongside sisters Mary Holland and Sarah Jane in the ‘Love Thy Nader’ reality TV series. While Grace Ann’s other sisters have met Alcaraz, she hasn’t yet had the pleasure.
“I’m dying to. Such a cutie,” she added.

Brooks Nader further stoked the rumours during a recent appearance on ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Show’ when the host showed a photo of her at the US Open. Nader was seated next to Stephen Colbert and his wife, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, leading Kimmel to speculate that she might be dating Jannik Sinner.
“Are you dating Italian tennis superstar Jannik Sinner?” Kimmel asked. “Is this, like, an interrogation? I’m so scared right now!” Nader humorously replied.
“Well, ask Stephen what match we were at. I don’t think he was playing in that one,” Nader hinted, suggesting she wasn’t there for Sinner. Nader then let slip that Kimmel was on the right track.
Alcaraz confirmed in 2024 that he was single, and confessed that his profession makes it challenging to find a partner.
“No, I am single,” Alcaraz revealed to The Times last year. “I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are travelling all the time.
“When I finish a tournament, it doesn’t matter if I win or not, I just want to get home to be with my family. I live with my mum and dad, my older brother and two younger brothers. To them I am not a big tennis star, just a normal guy.
“So getting home is great because I miss them. The longer you are away, the more you realise how much you need them.”
