Brooks Nader of Love Thy Nader and DadTok member Dakota Mortensen, the ex of Taylor Frankie Paul might be hanging out. Is perhaps another reality TV crossover in the works? And if so, did anyone else have that on their BINGO card for 2025? The pair were seen having an animated conversation that looked just a little flirty. The video was shared by Brooks’ sister Grace Ann Nader.

“I’m sensing a MESSY crossover,” Grace Ann captioned the video. In the clip (which she recorded from across the room), viewers can see Brooks listening intently to the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star. She had her hand resting on his shoulder.
At one point in the video, Dakota touched Brooks’s elbow (clad in her fur-lined jacket) before smiling. After that moment, Brooks popped one foot in the air while switching her drink to her other hand. You know what they say about the leg popping!
Grace Ann added a bit more drama to the clip by setting the video to the theme song of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Neither Brooks nor Dakota has spoken about the interaction, but fans are pointing out that both reality TV stars may be single and ready to mingle. Dakota has been on the market since he and Taylor called off their relationship for good.
Taylor is now in the middle of a new adventure as the next Bachelorette. Dakota jokingly tried to audition for The Bachelor, but he didn’t quite make the cut. However, show or no show, he looks like he’s ready to give out roses.
As for Brooks, she’s been mingling since her split with Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko. It was a messy breakup, but Brooks took it in stride. She was linked to tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner this Fall. For his part, Jannik has made it clear that there was nothing going on between them.
So it looks like the field is wide open for these two. Although several fans commented on Grace Ann’s video warning Brooke off Dakota, saying he’s “just as bad as Gleb.” One fan commented, “Brooks, have we learned nothing from Gleb?”
Love Thy Nader is available to stream on Hulu. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns for Season 3 on Hulu on November 13, 2025.
