Who is Brooks Nader, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model divorcing her husband, who’s 10 years her senior? She starred in the mag with Megan Fox and Martha Stewart, and hangs out with Kendall Jenner
Last week, in a statement to People magazine, Nader’s rep shared that she and soon-to-be ex-hubby Billy Haire are “divorcing after living apart for months”. An insider close to the couple added, “She’s a busy person and career-wise she’s on top of the world.”

What was Brooks Nader’s relationship like with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Billy Haire?
The couple got married in December 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana, in a glamorous ceremony; Nader was attended by 10 bridesmaids for the big event, according to an Australian news source. At the time, Nader was just 22 and ad exec Haire was 33, reported People.
Nader and Haire, now 37, were last spotted in public on a romantic holiday in Mexico in February 2024 – which is why it came as a shock when US media reported that they’d been living apart for months and were divorcing after just over four years of marriage. A source has added that the split is amicable.

Brooks Nader wants to be a role model for her sisters and other women
In November 2023, Nader told People magazine that she thinks her three younger sisters Mary Holland, Grace Ann and Sarah Jane all have a chance to land a Sports Illustrated cover someday. “I think they can achieve it,” she said.
“I’m trying to be a role model to them, they’re all models as well, so I gave them a little something to put on their wish list,” she continued.
According to Us Weekly, the quartet all live in New York City and often work together – although sister Mary is a finance professional, not a model like her siblings. They’ve also launched the Wonder Women line with KBH Jewel, a jewellery company based in the Big Apple.
“I also felt like I had a duty to younger girls in Louisiana, in my hometown, who look up to me or my younger sisters,” the Baton Rouge native added.
