Model Brooks Nader has firmly denied the recent Ben Affleck dating rumors, clarifying that she has never met the actor. The speculation surfaced in early 2024, sparking widespread attention before Nader publicly refuted the claims on social media.
Clarifying the Dating Speculations
Rumors that Brooks Nader and Ben Affleck were romantically involved circulated following a report from the gossip account Deuxmoi, which stated that the two were “hooking up.” Nader responded to this by writing,
“Haven’t met him in my life,”
directly dismissing any connection between them. This statement aligned with a source’s comment to Deuxmoi, confirming the pair have never met.
Brooks Nader’s Recent Relationships
Brooks Nader’s past relationships include her connection with Russian dancer Gleb Savchenko, whom she met while participating on Dancing With the Stars. Their relationship reportedly lasted until April 2025. More recently, Nader has been linked with tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannick Sinner. Addressing the rumors about Alcaraz, Nader’s sister Grace Ann said,
“Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
Nader’s Single Status and Public Remarks
Despite these dating hints, Nader confirmed to Us Weekly in November that she is currently single. She shared a candid comment about her social life, saying,
“I swear I’m single and if I’m flirting, you’ve been there too. Do not judge me. Let me flirt in peace.”
She humorously added that her father frequently calls, worried about her dating life:
“My poor dad, though, calls me every other day, and he’s like, ‘Now, who’s this one? Now, there’s another one. Now, who’s this one? And what am I supposed to tell my friends in Louisiana?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m having a damn conversation.’ It’s so crazy.”
Ben Affleck’s Current Relationship Status
Ben Affleck finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in January 2024. Since then, reports indicate he has begun casually dating, though no official relationships have been confirmed publicly. The denial from Brooks Nader puts to rest the circulating rumors linking the two.
Why This Matters
These clarifications help cut through the noise of celebrity gossip, highlighting the importance of verifying claims in a fast-moving news cycle. With Nader and Affleck both in the public eye for their respective careers and personal lives, misinformation around their dating status can create unnecessary confusion. Going forward, this confirmation from Nader may shift focus back to her true current connections and Affleck’s evolving relationship journey.
