Brooks Nader Firmly Denies Romance Rumors with Ben Affleck
Hollywood often thrives on comeback narratives, but model and reality television personality Brooks Nader has decisively shut down swirling speculation about a potential romantic link with actor Ben Affleck. The 28-year-old star directly confronted the gossip after multiple entertainment outlets suggested the pair were involved in a budding relationship.
How the Affleck-Nader Dating Rumors Began
The speculation originated when Deuxmoi, the popular anonymous celebrity tip platform, shared suggestive details on Instagram about Affleck, 53, supposedly finding new love following his recent divorce. Adding fuel to the fire, Star Magazine published claims that Ben could not stop smiling about his alleged new connection with Nader. Fans began imagining scenarios of the Oscar-winning actor and the Bravo reality star enjoying coffee dates in Los Angeles.
However, Brooks Nader set the record straight with a blunt comment on social media, stating clearly: "Haven't met him in my life." This direct denial effectively quashed the unfounded rumors before they could gain further traction.
Nader's Current Relationship Status and Past Romance
Nader, who stars alongside her sisters in the Bravo series 'Love Thy Nader', has expressed frustration with misinformation about her personal life. She has been single since her separation from Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Gleb Savchenko in April of last year.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she revealed that her chemistry with Savchenko was immediate, with their relationship becoming intimate on the very first day of rehearsals. "I was newly divorced, told them 'the hottest douchey guy,' they gave me Gleb," she recalled with laughter. Despite the initial spark, she ultimately described the relationship as a "disaster" and has since moved forward.
This Isn't Nader's First Encounter with False Rumors
This recent episode marks another instance where Brooks Nader has had to correct inaccurate gossip about her love life. Previously, she has addressed baseless links to tennis champions Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, as well as a viral conversation with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen.
"We were just chatting like normal people," she clarified regarding the Mortensen interaction. Nader, who was married to advertising executive Billy Haire from 2019 until their divorce in 2024, consistently emphasizes that her focus remains on family and personal enjoyment rather than tabloid drama.
Ben Affleck's Post-Divorce Situation
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck has maintained a relatively low public profile since finalizing his divorce from singer and actress Jennifer Lopez in January 2025. The high-profile couple, who famously rekindled their early-2000s romance in 2021, ended their marriage citing conflicting schedules and other pressures.
Prior to his relationship with Lopez, Affleck was married to actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children: Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 13. His current relationship status remains private following the dissolution of his marriage to J.Lo.
The entertainment industry continues to generate speculation about celebrity relationships, but Brooks Nader's unequivocal denial serves as a reminder that not all rumors hold truth. Her commitment to transparency about her personal life stands in contrast to the often sensationalized narratives promoted by gossip columns and anonymous sources.
