Brooks Nader is putting an end to gossip about a rumored romance with Ben Affleck. On Saturday, Deuxmoi posted an item to Instagram that read “Despite reports that Ben Affleck & Brooks Nader are ‘hooking up,’ a source tells Deuxmoi exclusively the two have ‘never met.’” In the comments, Nader confirmed, “Haven’t met him in my life,” of the 53-year-old actor.
The “Love Thy Nader” star, 28, was most recently linked to her pro partner on “Dancing With the Stars,” Gleb Savchenko, 42, with whom she had a messy split with in April 2025 after a steamy on-again, off-again romance.
The two met during season 33 of the ABC competition series. After the “DWTS” Season 33 cast was announced in September 2024, the professional dancer and his partner sparked romance rumors by posting several flirty social media videos while practicing for the competition series.
Nader denied being romantically involved with her dance partner during an interview with Page Six that month. The duo, however, sent mixed signals, as they were seen kissing backstage at the dance competition and out in public later that month.
They even got matching tattoos before being booted off the show on Oct. 15.
In April of 2025, the relationship came to a halt. “I was surprised to learn through article(s) published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” Savchenko told Page Six after news broke.
“The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”
Prior to dating Savchenko, 42, Nader was married to Billy Haire from 2019 until they separated in 2024. Their divorce was finalized this past May.
In September 2025, the Sports Illustrated model played coy when asked about Page Six’s exclusive report that she dated US Open finalists Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the same time that summer.
“I would just say, a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model responded on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
