Brooks Nader isn’t losing sleep over the latest round of online chatter about her personal life. The model and reality TV star recently addressed speculation linking her to Ben Affleck, making it clear that public rumors are something she’s come to expect. Speaking candidly at a recent Hollywood event, Nader struck a relaxed tone while addressing the buzz. According to the star, navigating gossip is simply part of being in the spotlight.
Brooks Nader says rumors about her are like ‘par for the course’ after Ben Affleck speculation
Speaking with PEOPLE recently at Clarins’ Hollywood Galentine’s Beauty Evening in Los Angeles, Brooks Nader opened up about how she navigates viral gossip as someone whose life often plays out online. “It’s like par for the course,” Nader said when asked how she reacts to rumors. “You know, it always happens,” she added.
Her comments followed recent online speculation alleging that the “Love Thy Nader” star had been romantically linked to Ben Affleck. The claim circulated on social media earlier this month but was later contradicted by reporting from the anonymous gossip account Deuxmoi, which stated the two had “never met.”
Nader herself weighed in directly, commenting on the post to clarify the situation. “Haven’t met him in my life,” she wrote, shutting down the allegation.
The speculation is far from new territory. In recent months, Nader has been linked online to several high-profile names, including tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. What’s more, she sparked chatter after being spotted chatting with Dakota Mortensen at Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” launch party in November.
Nader’s love life has also been under scrutiny following her on-and-off relationship with her “Dancing With the Stars” pro partner, Gleb Savchenko. Their relationship ended in early 2025, after Nader alleged he had been unfaithful. Savchenko, for his part, has denied the claim.
That said, Nader offered clarity on her current relationship status at the Clarins event. According to the star, she’s single and embracing it. “Totes, yep, I’m ready to go!” she said, suggesting she’s open to dating but not rushing into anything serious.
