Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz and model Brooks Nader are reportedly in a relationship, with Nader's sister, Grace Ann Nader, confirming the speculation. Speaking to E! News, Grace Ann stated, "The rumors are true," adding that while "dating is such a loose term," she knows that Alcaraz is "the man of the hour." The news comes just days after Alcaraz secured his second US Open title and his sixth Grand Slam victory.
According to Grace Ann, Alcaraz has already met two of Brooks' sisters, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane. Grace Ann herself has not met the tennis star yet but expressed her eagerness to do so. The confirmation also provides clarity on previous rumors that linked Nader to Jannik Sinner. Nader had denied those claims last week, clarifying that she was actually watching Alcaraz's match and not Sinner's.
The news of the relationship comes after Alcaraz, in a July 2024 interview with The Sunday Times, had spoken about his dating life and the challenges of being a professional athlete. He stated, "I am single. I am looking for someone. It can be difficult as a tennis player to meet the right person because you are traveling all the time." The 22-year-old Spaniard also emphasized the importance of his family, stating that they help him stay grounded despite his success.
Brooks Nader, a Sports Illustrated model, has not personally confirmed the relationship. Her dating history has been a topic of public interest before, including a relationship with her Dancing with the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, which reportedly ended over a text message. The current buzz around her relationship with Alcaraz has been amplified by their public appearances at the US Open.
While the two have not officially confirmed their relationship, the news has generated significant interest among fans and media outlets. The focus on Alcaraz's life off the court is likely to grow alongside his continued success, which includes winning a record prize money purse of $90 million at the US Open.
