Brooks Nader Plays Coy on Jannik Sinner Romance Rumors
Fashion icon Brooks Nader has finally responded to the buzz suggesting a romantic involvement with Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner.
The 28-year-old personality from Love Thy Nader found herself under scrutiny during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, September 2, when host Jimmy Kimmel displayed an image of Nader seated with fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert and his spouse, Evelyn McGee-Colbert, during the 2025 US Open in New York on Sunday, August 31.
The 57-year-old Kimmel then directly posed the question to Nader, inquiring, “Is Italian tennis prodigy Jannik Sinner your current partner?”
A playfully evasive Nader replied, “Is this some kind of cross-examination? I’m quite intimidated!” Kimmel humorously retorted, “Indeed, and you’ve sworn an oath.”

The Sports Illustrated luminary skillfully avoided the query, suggesting to Kimmel, “Perhaps you should inquire with Stephen about the specific match we attended. I highly doubt Sinner participated in that particular one.” (It is true that Sinner, at 24, did not compete at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday. According to the official US Open Instagram account, Colbert was observed watching a game involving Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and France’s Arthur Rinderknech.)
Nader then playfully hinted, “You’re getting there. You’re on the right track.”
“Ah, I understand. Is it a different person then?” Kimmel probed. “You’re close, but… we weren’t at that specific match,” Nader replied, leading Kimmel to promptly change the topic.
Speculation surrounding Nader’s romantic life was initially fueled last week by her sisters, Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane, who playfully discussed their elder sister’s romantic prospects on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio broadcast.
During their radio segment, Nader mentioned receiving direct messages from sports figures across “every conceivable discipline,” which prompted Grace Ann to add, “Every field and every court.”
Grace Ann further quipped, “Excluding the NBA court,” leading cohost Evan Real to inquire if Nader was seeing a tennis professional.
“It rhymes with ‘champion,’” Grace Ann then playfully revealed.
Meanwhile, Sinner himself ignited romance whispers following his triumph over Dennis Shapovalov at the US Open on Saturday, August 30. A particularly observant fan spotted a rather intriguing image on the current men’s No. 1 player’s phone lock screen.

“Jannik Sinner’s phone lock screen displays a picture of Laila Hasanovic, suggesting what about the rumors…? ,” TikTok user @mrsf1facts shared.
Hasanovic, also 24, is a Danish fashion model with a portfolio featuring prominent brands such as Prada, Armani, and J. Lindenberg. The image seen on Sinner’s device reportedly stems from a July advertising campaign Hasanovic participated in for Armani Beauty.
Regarding Nader’s personal life, her last known relationship was with Dancing With the Stars professional Gleb Savchenko, 41, her partner during last year’s ballroom reality show. Their relationship concluded in April.
