Brooks Nader Says Bad Bunny Asked for Her Sister’s Number at Met Gala

by

You have to love thy Met Gala run-ins.

Brooks Nader shared that her sister, Grace Ann Nader, had a memorable encounter with Bad Bunny at an event on May 4th.

“She had me laughing,” Brooks shared with Page Six on May 14, “because she told me about being in the bathroom with a man who was around 90 years old. He had a surprisingly youthful voice and actually asked her for her phone number.”

The 29-year-old also mentioned it was Bad Bunny—the artist known for his memorable Met Gala appearance where he dressed as an older man, complete with realistic prosthetics, gray hair and beard, and even a cane.

Brooks continued, saying he responded with a casual, ‘Okay, Grace Ann,’ before jokingly calling his 26-year-old sister ‘an idiot’ for not recognizing him.

Grace Ann, who went to the Met Gala with her boyfriend Jack Jones, wasn’t sure if she’d given her phone number to the artist behind the song “DtMF.” She’s a model who’s appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

She admitted she wasn’t sure. She hadn’t checked on it because she was distracted by other things and worried she was missing out on something else.

She was also busy filming the new Baywatch movie with Noah Beck and Livvy Dunne, which added to her concerns.

I was filming Baywatch at the time, which kept me busy and satisfied. I thought everyone looked great at the Met Gala, except for my sister, though!

The reality star was last linked to actor Taron Egerton, following a very public display of affection with him during a date night. They were seen being quite affectionate with each other.

When asked if her love life felt peaceful or exciting, Brooks told TopMob News on May 14th that it was definitely the latter – full of unexpected changes and excitement.

She admitted she enjoys a bit of unpredictability, saying at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2026 launch in New York City, ‘If things get too peaceful, I lose interest.’

At 19, Brooks Nader left her home in Louisiana to pursue a modeling career in New York City. Knowing it would be expensive, she joked to People magazine that her dad told her she needed to find a boyfriend to help cover the rent, which thankfully she did!

She and advertising executive Billy Haire became close, and they married in New Orleans’ French Quarter in December 2019.

Her parents were very upset when she told them she was getting divorced almost five years after her separation. She shared on her reality show, Love Thy Nader, which she filmed with her sisters Sarah Jane, Grace Ann, and Mary Holland Nader, that her parents reacted as if she’d done something terrible. They believed divorce was a terrible mistake and even a sin.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model sees things differently. She told Bustle in 2025 that after ending a long-term relationship, she realized her own strength. “I realized I could do anything I set my mind to,” she explained. After ten years with someone, she felt empowered by the breakup, recognizing her ability to overcome challenges – even something as significant as childbirth or starting a business. She described the feeling as incredibly liberating.

Billy later began dating reality star Naomie Olindo from Southern Charm, and the couple announced they were engaged in December 2025.

After her divorce, rumors began circulating that Brooks was dating retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady. They were seen together at Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July party in 2024, but the connection didn’t last, and they were no longer together by the fall.

According to her sister, Sarah Jane, she’s really enjoying being single and is having a great time. Sarah Jane told the Daily Mail in September that she thinks it’s a very exciting period in her life.

Shortly after her divorce in 2024, Brooke Shields joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars, and she wasn’t just focused on winning. She and her professional partner, Gleb Savchenko, quickly developed a close relationship off the dance floor as well.

Their relationship, much like their tango, was primarily based on physical attraction. She hadn’t been single since she was 18, and being partnered with someone she described as incredibly attractive on Love Thy Nader led to a fast-moving romance.

Brooks explained on the Freeform show that their entire relationship consisted of just physical intimacy, saying they didn’t really have much conversation.

Looking back, I think the real issue was a breakdown in honest communication. It explains why he was so shocked when she told him in April 2025 that they’d grown apart – it really came out of nowhere for him because they hadn’t been openly discussing their feelings.

Gleb was surprised to find out through a recent article that Brooks had ended their relationship. He stated on April 7th that the last time he’d heard from her was a text message on April 6th, where she asked to talk. He tried calling her that day, but she hasn’t responded.

Okay, so I was screaming when Jimmy Kimmel finally asked about Jannik Sinner! I’ve been following Nader for ages, and the rumors have been swirling forever. It was September 2025 on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he just straight-up asked, “Are you dating Italian superstar Jannik Sinner?” And Nader? She totally played it cool, but you could tell she was a little flustered! She was like, “Is this like an interrogation? I’m so scared right now!” Seriously, the chemistry! I need answers!

She hinted that Stephen Colbert might know the truth. When asked about sitting next to him at the U.S. Open on August 31st, she said, “Ask Stephen what match we were at.” She then clarified that Jannik Sinner likely wasn’t at that particular match, adding, “You’re getting close, you’re warm, but it wasn’t that one.”

During an appearance on Kimmel, Brooks subtly suggested she was seeing Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz. Her sister, Grace Ann, confirmed the rumors to TopMob News at New York Fashion Week, stating, “The rumors are true.” However, she clarified that their relationship was still new, saying, “Dating is such a loose term,” but added, “He’s definitely someone special right now.”

While Grace Ann was still hoping to be introduced, he had already met the other sisters. “I can’t wait to,” she said about meeting the seven-time Grand Slam champion, adding, “He’s so cute!”

When asked about dating both a swimsuit model and tennis players, she playfully responded on Watch What Happens Live in September 2025, “‘Dating’ means different things to everyone now. Men do this all the time, so why shouldn’t I?”

It felt incredibly genuine when actor Taron Egerton, known for his role in Rocketman, shared a tender moment with his partner during a date night in Los Angeles on March 28, 2026. After a three-hour dinner at Capo in Santa Monica, California, they strolled hand-in-hand to Shutters on the Beach, enjoying each other’s company.
