Brooks Nader Sets the Record Straight on Ben Affleck Romance Buzz
Brooks Nader is putting an end to the rumors linking her romantically to Oscar-winning actor Ben Affleck.
The speculation went viral over the weekend after the celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi shared a post claiming the 53-year-old actor and the 28-year-old model were “hooking up.” Nader quickly addressed the chatter on social media, leaving no room for doubt.
Haven’t met him in my life, Nader wrote in the comments on Saturday, shutting down the claims immediately. Sources close to the situation confirmed that the two have never actually met, despite the tabloid reports suggesting otherwise. The rumor seemed to gain traction as fans speculated about Affleck’s love life following the finalization of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in early 2025.
For Nader, this denial comes after a very public and dramatic romantic history on reality television. She was most recently linked to her professional dance partner on Dancing With the Stars, Gleb Savchenko.
Their on-again, off-again relationship became a fan favorite during Season 33 in late 2024, fueled by flirty social media posts and matching tattoos. The relationship ended in April 2025 amid public confusion and mixed statements.
I was surprised to learn through article(s) published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship, Savchenko told Page Six at the time.
While rumors swirl, Nader’s professional life has been moving forward. She stars alongside her three sisters in the Hulu reality series Love Thy Nader, which has been renewed for a second season set to premiere in 2026.
Beyond television, the Sports Illustrated model is growing her business ventures, including her home decor brand Home by BN and a successful jewelry collaboration. She recently appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of Paris Hilton’s visual memoir Infinite Icon, looking radiant after a recent “reset” trip to Mexico.
Affleck, meanwhile, is focusing on his career and family. He is promoting his latest thriller, The Rip, alongside Matt Damon.
Nader’s clear denial of any connection with Affleck shows how quickly social media rumors can spiral into headlines. As she focuses on her business and reality TV projects, she seems determined to keep her personal life private and the record straight. For now, the supposed romance between the Batman star and the model appears to have been nothing more than social media speculation.
