Brooks Nader isn’t holding back. During a recent late-night appearance, the model and reality star cracked up the crowd — and stunned a few viewers — after revealing she once rejected the advances of a much older, Oscar-winning actor. While she kept his identity to herself, the story instantly made headlines and added yet another unforgettable moment to her growing list of candid TV confessions.
Brooks Nader reveals she turned down ‘older’ Oscar-winning actor: ‘Not my type’
The reveal came when a fan asked Nader to name a celebrity she had “completely turned down.” Nader, 28, didn’t hesitate to tease the story. Calling the fan a “feisty little girl,” she went on to explain that rejecting the unnamed actor wasn’t about ego; it was simply a matter of preference. “Maybe they were too old and ugly,” she joked, before hinting that the person in question had won multiple Oscars. She stopped short of identifying the actor, but the implication sent host Andy Cohen and viewers into a frenzy.
Nader added that her father has a long-standing request that she not marry anyone older than he is. “He’s only 50,” she said, laughing. “So I have to respect that in a way.” The humorous family rule, paired with her playful comments, kept the moment light, even as speculation began to brew online about which actor she might have been referring to.
The conversation happened during a lively after-show segment, where Nader was also asked about her romantic history with her “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Gleb Savchenko. She confirmed that the two dated and even revealed they became intimate the first day they met, hours before their scheduled Good Morning America appearance.
Away from reality TV, Nader has been navigating major life changes. She and her ex-husband, Billy Haire, ended their nearly decade-long relationship in 2024. The two met when she was 19, and he was in his early thirties, eventually marrying in 2019 before announcing their divorce five years later. Nader has described the breakup as one of the hardest decisions she’s made, but emphasized that it shaped who she is today. Haire has since moved on and gone public with “Southern Charm” star Naomie Olindo.
