Carlos Alcaraz and Brooks Nader: The Rumored Romance
The dating rumors between Carlos Alcaraz and Brooks Nader surfaced after Grace Ann Nader confirmed their relationship to E! News at the Raising Cane’s NYFW Show. “The rumors are true,” Grace Ann said, describing Alcaraz as “the man of the hour” and expressing her excitement to meet the “cutie” tennis star. While the term “dating” was used loosely, the confirmation has fueled speculation about the pair.
Nader was spotted at the U.S. Open on August 31, 2025, watching matches from the Cadillac Suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Her presence at the event, combined with her sister’s comments, has led fans to believe the two are an item.
Prior to the Alcaraz rumors, Nader was linked to Sinner after appearing at the Grand Slam. During her Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance, she teased that Kimmel was “warm” when guessing about her romantic interests but clarified that she wasn’t at Sinner’s match, hinting at another player—likely Alcaraz.
