US Open champion, Carlos Alcaraz, has once again found himself in the headlines off the court, this time for reasons beyond his tennis prowess.
The 21-year-old Spaniard, who successfully defended his crown in New York last year, is now being linked romantically to American swimsuit model Brooks Nader.
The speculation marks a shift from the earlier buzz around Alcaraz’s supposed connection to fellow tennis star Emma Raducanu, which dominated much of the summer.
While both players denied those claims, gossip columns and fans have remained eager to tie the rising star to a high-profile relationship.
In recent days, attention has turned to 28-year-old Nader, a Louisiana native who rose to fame after winning the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swim Search competition.
Her victory propelled her into the spotlight as one of the SI Swimsuit issue’s featured cover models, establishing her as a recognizable face in fashion and entertainment circles.
What seemed like speculation gained traction after Nader’s younger sister, Grace Ann, spoke candidly during New York Fashion Week.
While attending the Raising Cane’s NYFW Show on Wednesday, she addressed the whispers surrounding her sister and the Spanish tennis sensation.
“The rumours are true,” Grace Ann told E! News, confirming the link many had been curious about. She also added a caveat about how to label the relationship: “Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”
With Grace Ann’s remarks now fueling the conversation, Alcaraz and Nader’s connection has become the latest crossover between elite sports and pop culture.
Whether it develops into a full-fledged romance or remains a casual link, the pairing has already caught the attention of fans worldwide, adding a new layer of intrigue to Alcaraz’s life both on and off the tennis court.
