There is one less lonely girl in the world, and that is Brooks Nader!

The model and her new love interest have been spotted getting cozy in public months after her highly publicized split from Gleb Savchenko, her dancer partner on “Dancing With The Stars.”

Brooks Nader was also previously married to Billy Haire, but they parted ways in 2024 after four years of marriage, and they finalized their divorce in early 2025.

Brooks Nader’s New Relationship With A Golden Globe Winner

The model and the “Rocketman” actor were spotted watching Ryan Gosling’s latest movie, “Project Hail Mary,” in Los Angeles on Friday, March 27. The next day, Nader and Taron Egerton grabbed drinks at Shutters by the Beach hotel in Santa Monica. According to an eyewitness, the couple looked every inch smitten with each other, stealing romantic glances, and later stopped at the hotel bar before heading to dinner.

The source continued that it was not the couple’s first time hanging out together, as they have known each other for a very long time. According to Page Six, Egerton was previously linked to “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” actress Chloe Bennet, but broke things off in the summer of 2025.

As for Nader, her longest romantic relationship was with her ex-husband, whom she started dating when she was 18 and ended things on that chapter at 27. The model claimed Haire was her first date and first introduction to what a romantic relationship is.

Inside The ‘Baywatch’ Star’s A-List Links

As reported by Elle, Nader married the businessman when she was 22, and at the time of the divorce, she explained that her family opposed the separation. However, she was focused on doing what was best for her and becoming better from it.

In July 2024, after her separation, sources claimed that Nader was linking up with Tom Brady, although it was described as very casual, as they both operate on different social bandwidths. In September of the same year, Nader began dating Savchenko on season 33 of “DWTS,” and one year later, she was linked to Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz after her sister, Grace Ann Nader, confirmed they were romantically involved.

The model was once again linked to another Italian tennis player, Jannik Sinner, while she was allegedly seeing Alcaraz. Nader addressed the dynamics during a September 2025 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” stating, “Dating is such a loose term these days. I don’t know. By the way, my only thing is, guys do it all the time, so why can’t I do it?”

Brooks Nader’s Parents Reportedly Still Cordial With Billy Haire

Last year, PEOPLE reported that the 29-year-old’s parents, Holland Nader and Breaux Nader, revealed on her new Hulu reality show that they still keep in touch with their ex-son-in-law. Nader’s mom explained to her daughter that she has her own relationship with the entrepreneur, and they are both golfing partners.

Holland continued that, as for him, he wished Haire a merry Christmas, emphasizing that they always want the best for him. As for Nader’s divorce from Haire, sources from the model’s camp confirmed that the split was amicable.

The model and her ex-husband tied the knot on December 14, 2019, at St. Mary’s Church in New Orleans with 300 guests, walking down the aisle in a Pronovias Oberon gown, while Haire donned a Tom Ford tuxedo. Haire is now engaged to “Southern Charm” alum Naomie Olindo after dating for a few months. They announced the news on Instagram last December with pictures from the ceremony.

The Media Personality Tried Something New For Her Latest Role

Nader stepped into really big shoes for her upcoming appearance on the “Baywatch” reboot series on Fox. The media personality and her pal, Livvy Dunne, joined the reboot of the drama Television series to play the roles of lifeguard captain Selene and junior lifeguard Grace.

As noted by The Blast, Nader reacted to the news, confirming that she has been getting in top shape for her new gig by taking swimming lessons. While Nader did not grow up swimming or take any lessons, she joked that she had trained to become an Olympic-standard swimmer since she joined the series’ cast. 

The model also fine-tuned her acting skills to make her presence on set memorable. Fox shared the heartwarming news that the series was returning to its screens last year, announcing that the show had landed a 12-episode straight-to-series order from the broadcast network for a premiere during the 2026-27 season.

Brooks Nader Reminisced Her Past As A Hand Model

The internet personality moved to the Big Apple in 2017 for greener pastures in modeling, and when she hit a wall, she ran to her modeling agency for a chance to make a way. She recalled telling her agency that a hand modelling gig could pull her from the financial pits she was deep in.

She eventually got her breakthrough with a gig for BareMinerals in New Jersey, which helped her stay afloat. Nader, who graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2023, shared that she was discouraged from giving it a shot in 2019.

However, her tenacity to achieve greatness simply grew stronger for the next three years after 2019, when she was featured in the magazine. The 29-year-old also clinched the Sports Illustrated Swim Search open casting call in 2019, beating out 10,000 applicants to earn her first placement in the magazine.

In just a few days, the United States will honor the 25th nationally recognized Sexual Assault Awareness Month. In Latin America, awareness is spreading through the upcoming release of Brisa. The documentary features commentary from global icon Gloria Estefan. The film chronicles Brisa de Angula Losada’s relentless pursuit of justice. That culminated in a landmark ruling at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. “She’s a warrior; this is hard what she is doing and, in Latin America, even harder because there is such a culture of protection of the male with women in a second tier,” Estefan explains. Now Collider has an exclusive first look at the trailer as the documentary arrives on Digital.

The trailer begins with startling statistics: 70% to 80% of women in the country have encountered some form of domestic violence. In the trailer, Brisa describes how, after her sexual assault, she felt like she was failed by the Bolivian government.

The documentary is described as:

“A powerful and gripping documentary about Brisa De Angulo Losada’s fight as a survivor and advocate against childhood abuse and sexual violence. Her decades-long pursuit led to a landmark case at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, reshaping the legal landscape across Latin America. Directed by 24-time Emmy winner Nick Nanton, BRISA features Gloria Estefan and Brisa de Angulo Losada.”

These television artists were posthumously recognized for their work, and the awards they received were testaments to their lasting legacies.

Brisa de Angula Losada Says Now Is the “Perfect Time” for Documentary

Losada has translated her personal victory into widespread action through her non-profit, A Breeze of Hope. Her humanitarian efforts have provided free legal aid and support to over 2,600 victims and families navigating the court system. She says the timing of this documentary could not be better:

“I decided to share my story with the world now because now is the perfect time. The Inter-American Court ruled in my favor in my case against Bolivia, and now is the time to bring the horrendous and gut-wrenching reality of incestuous sexual violence to light. Now is the time to pressure governments around the world to comply with heightened child protection standards. With the Court’s judgement, we now have a framework–an advocacy tool–that gives teeth to our stories. Now is the time to show survivors everywhere that their voices can reshape nations, regions, continents, and the entire world. As survivors, we now have a binding case–and a real instrument of change–that lends legitimacy to our voices and our cries for justice.”

Executive producers on the documentary include: Nick Nanton, Nick Ruff, Brian Norton, Mark Evans, Deena Evans, Peter D’Arruda, Chuck McDowell, Didi Wong, Chris Wiser, Kevin Hodes, Wayne Pernell, Jennifer Perri, Pat Ziemer, Fred Rouse, Paul Peters, Julie Meates, Richard Tyler, Francis X.

Director of the project, Nick Nanton explains:

“Brisa is not only a survivor of sexual violence — she is a relentless advocate who refused to be silenced, challenging legal and cultural norms in Bolivia and across Latin America.”

Brisa is currently available to rent on most streaming platforms, including Prime Video. Check out the trailer above. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.

The highly-anticipated “Tomb Raider” live-action series featuring Sophie Turner has reportedly hit a brief production setback. The actress is said to have sustained an injury while filming, resulting in the temporary pause of production.

Turner has been hard at work on the project since production began in January. While details about the injury have not been disclosed, filming is expected to resume once she has recovered and is ready to return to set.

Sophie Turner Had A Minor Injury

Filming for “Tomb Raider” has been temporarily paused, Amazon MGM Studios announced in a statement sent to Entertainment Weekly. The actress had a “minor injury” during production, and filming was temporarily paused to give the actress time to heal. “We look forward to resuming production as soon as possible,” the studio noted.

A source told Page Six that Turner will most likely be back on set in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, the crew members will be continuing to do prep work needed for the production.

In January, Amazon MGM Studios posted first-look photos of Turner as Lara Croft, the adventurer and archaeologist who is the main protagonist in the video game franchise, “Tomb Raider,” which the series is based on.

The Actress Said She Has ‘Massive Shoes To Fill’

In September 2025, actress and producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who is the project’s showrunner, confirmed Turner will be portraying Lara Croft in the series. “I’m so excited to announce the formidable Sophie Turner as our Lara alongside this phenomenal creative team. It’s not very often you get to make a show of this scale with a character you grew up loving,” Waller-Bridge stated.

Turner expressed her excitement over taking on the role, saying, “I am giving everything I’ve got.” The “Game of Thrones” alum also gave a nod to the actresses who have portrayed Croft in the past, Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, saying she has “massive shoes to fill.”

“I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking,” Turner teased.

Sophie Turner Said The New Lara Croft Won’t Be A ‘Bombshell’

Since the release of the first “Tomb Raider” game in 1996, Croft has been seen as both a heroine and a bombshell, blending her sex appeal with her thirst for adventure. However, Turner said that the series won’t focus on the “sex bombshell” characteristic.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in January, the actress said the series will focus on showing Croft’s “other side.” “It’s about her and her story and what drives her, rather than what so many people also love about her, which is how hot she is in the games and the movies,” Turner explained.

“I really want to show the other side. She’s so unashamedly capable. She is not a woman who hides her strengths at all,” the actress added.

The Actress Went Through Intense Training For The Role

In January, Turner talked about the gruelling training she had to undergo in preparation for playing Croft. On “The Julia Cunningham Show,” the actress said she started training in February 2025 and has been doing it for “eight hours a day, five days a week” since.

Turner explained that she found out she had a “perpetual back problem” while conditioning her body. In addition, she shared that it was quite difficult for her to build muscle, since she wasn’t used to working out. “It has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape,” she added, jokingly saying that in her role as Sansa Stark in “Game of Thrones,” she was the one who was beaten up and not the one doing the beating.

While Turner played Marvel mutant Jean Grey in “X-Men” and had to be in shape for the role, she pointed out that she didn’t need physical training since Grey’s special ability was telekinesis. “I didn’t realize I could push my body that far. I feel like I’ve achieved something even before we’ve started shooting,” she said, referring to her role as Croft.

The ‘Tomb Raider’ Franchise

The massive success of the “Tomb Raider” games resulted in a series of movies and series. In 2001, Angelina Jolie played the role of Croft in the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.” She reprised her role for the second movie, released in 2003, titled “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life.”

In 2018, the “Tomb Raider” movie was released, with Alicia Vikander taking on the role of the archaeologist. The game also spawned two animated series, “Re\Visioned: Tomb Raider” and “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.”

The “Tomb Raider” series starring Turner also features Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bobb-Semple, and Bill Paterson. A release date has yet to be announced.

What made The Office so spectacularly successful is hard to put a finger on, but Steve Carell knows what made it so special for him. Fortunately for fans, the Emmy Award nominee says his HBO Max series, Rooster, recaptures the same lightning-in-a-bottle magic under the guidance of Ted Lasso and Shrinking‘s co-creator Bill Lawrence.

In Rooster, Carell plays a proud but concerned father and best-selling author Greg Russo. Katie, played by Charly Clive (The Lazarus Project), is a college professor whose personal life is in shambles, and it’s beginning to affect her work. When Greg is invited to speak at the university, he realizes his status could be an opportunity to help save Katie’s career, and jumps at the chance to be his daughter’s hero again.

While talking with Nemiroff, Carell and Clive discuss how Rooster‘s talented ensemble cast creates a vibe similar to The Office‘s “all for one” energy. They talk about the moments throughout filming when they found their own unique ways into their characters, with Lawrence’s encouragement, and the costars, like Annie Mumolo (The Idea of You) and Rory Scovel (Physical), who took their parts to the next level. Carell also reveals a very impressive moment from set that we’ll sadly never see on screen. Check out the full conversation in the video above, or in the transcript below.

Steve Carell Says ‘Rooster’s “Vibe Is Really Similar” to ‘The Office’

He credits this lightning-in-a-bottle energy to creator Bill Lawrence, the crew, and the ensemble.

PERRI NEMIROFF: Steve, I’ll start with a question for you about general casting on this show because I was reading some quotes about it and how you explained that the Rooster ensemble had a little bit of a similar vibe to the ensemble in The Office. So I was wondering, what was that similarity, and what’s the first thing you saw happen on set that signaled to you the Rooster team had that extra-special group attached?

STEVE CARELL: Well, I attribute the success, in my opinion, of the ensemble to Bill Lawrence. Much in the same way that Greg Daniels was instrumental in casting The Office, I think Bill Lawrence has a really good eye, not just for talented people, but for good, nice people, kind people who would potentially get along with each other. I think Bill did the same thing. I think everyone that he cast genuinely wanted to be part of an ensemble and wanted to support one another and wanted it to be the best show.

These are all the things that we felt on The Office. No one was more important than anybody else. Everybody was just part of this group. Cast, crew, writers, everybody just wanted to make it great. And so, in that way, the vibe was really similar.

I like those vibes. I want to see more of them in this industry.

A question for both of you. This comes from something Bill mentioned in another interview. He was saying that when you all did your first table read, he specifically told you, “Within a couple of weeks, I want you all to have an exceptionally greater percentage of ownership over your character.” So, for each of you, do you remember the first moment when that happened, the first moment you thought of something or you did something, and you’re like, “Wow, this character is uniquely my own now?”

CHARLY CLIVE: Oh, I know what mine is! Before I said my line, I said, “Ew,” and then I said my line. Then Bill thought it was kind of funny, and he was like, “Why did you do that?” And I was like, “Because that to me, if I’m embarrassed, I’d be like, ‘Ew.’” It was something that Greg said, and my instinct was to say, “Ew!” He was like, “Oh, that’s interesting. That’s how Katie shows embarrassment,” and he found it funny. I was like, “Oh, okay, great! That’s funny.” I didn’t realize that was going to happen that way, and it was great.

He was very open to if I had suggestions or if I felt like I wanted to talk, or have ideas about things. Bill just loves to play. He was like, “Okay, great. And then what about this? What about this?” He’s very, very “Yes, and.”

Image via Warner Bros. Discovery

CARELL: Almost instantly, really, everybody was taking ownership. The fact that he said that at the first table read really set a tone, and it all starts from the top. That culture starts with him and the fact that he was saying, “This is yours. This is all of ours, so make it yours, and add to it or subtract, or let’s talk about stuff if it’s not working for you.” And he was true to his word. He never held us to anything that they had written.

The other side of it is that the scripts were great. They were all really funny and heartfelt, and felt lived-in. But within that, just being able to have options and be able to play and being able to try to make each other laugh, that’s another thing that was similar to me in terms of those two experiences. It’s got to be fun. That makes it less work. It’s fun for everybody. It’s fun for the crew, too, to not really know what’s going to happen this take. So, everyone’s sort of in it every time. It’s not just going through the motions.

Annie Mumolo Is a ‘Rooster’ Scene-Stealer

“I knew, but I don’t think what a lot of people knew going in was that there’s also an enormous amount of depth to her as an actor.”

I’ll build on that a little bit because I love forcing actors to give their costars flowers. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I do want to tease how good everybody around the two of you is in this show. Can you each tell me something you saw another actor do on the Rooster set that would make you want to tell a potential viewer, “You think you know what they’re capable of, just wait until you see what they do on our show?”

CARELL: Well, the first person that comes to mind is Annie Mumolo.

CLIVE: Me too!

CARELL: Who everybody knows is a super funny person. I knew, but I don’t think what a lot of people knew going in was that there’s also an enormous amount of depth to her as an actor. This crazy character she plays can turn on a dime and break your heart in the most grounded, real way, while at the same time doing the most fantastically funny things. Really, it’s masterful.

But that’s just one example. They’re across the board. The people who play the students in the show, a lot of them, right at first, might have been a little intimidated. It’s a new environment, and they may not be as experienced as some of the older actors, but within hours, almost, they were feeling that vibe. They were able to start taking ownership of their own roles and making them their own and improvising. Incredibly funny! So, it’s really across the board. There are 100 different examples I could give.

CLIVE: I thought of Annie first, too, because Annie also can make a facial expression. Annie, without saying anything, just a simple facial expression, can really make you break character. I didn’t get to do that much with Annie, but I sort of begged to, and Bill was like, “We’ll find a place for you guys to interact.” And it was one of the harder days because I find her so hilariously funny, and every take she did something completely different, which is so much fun.

But lots of people are like that. I’d also like to say a special mention to Rory Scovel, who was just exceptionally funny. Sometimes he’d be like, “Oh, I’ve got this good idea for a joke,” and then sometimes he’d sort of set you up for an open goal that you didn’t realize was there. He always had such a great energy. But everybody did.

CARELL: That’s the other part of it, is that people weren’t thinking about just their own performance. People did want to set other people up. That’s another thing that reflects my experience on The Office. It was all for one. It was, “Let’s share it. This is all of ours.” And I think that shows are better when that happens, when you’re sharing it.

I’ll end on a somewhat silly question, because I’m obsessed with you throwing the pennies into the jar, and there’s also a particular episode where there’s some good college party games. For each of you, what particular college party game do you either think you would be the best at, or maybe you were the best at?

CLIVE: Beer pong for me.

CARELL: I was pretty good at beer pong, I think.

Are you actually throwing the pennies into the jars or is that movie magic?

CARELL: I mean, I didn’t hit all of them, for sure, but the ones that you see, I got. And you know the one with the ping pong ball, where I turn around and throw it?

No way!

CARELL: That went in, but they didn’t have it on camera. I swear that actually happened.

I’m going to choose to believe you even without the proof.

CARELL: It kills me that they didn’t because I did it! But you never know. The first take, I did it, and it went right in, and I felt the whole crew went, “Oh my god!” We could have never used it because they were all screaming. [Laughs]

‘Rooster’ Is a “Hall of Fame” of Talent

Fans will no doubt be falling in love with this cast, as we did with Scrubs, Ted Lasso, and more.

In addition to talking with Carell and Clive, Nemiroff also had the opportunity to speak with Scrubs alum John C. McGinley, who plays Dean Walter Mann in Rooster, and Lauren Tsai (Legion), who plays Sunny, the grad student that Katie’s husband and colleague, Archie (Ted Lasso‘s Phil Dunster), cheats on her with.

During their conversation, Tsai explains what it’s like to go from a tonally varied series like Legion to a Bill Lawrence comedy, saying, “I feel like I’m acting for the first time.” McGinley, a fan favorite on Scrubs as the lovably grouchy Dr. Perry Cox, also shares how he knew Lawrence had done it again with the Rooster ensemble, calling their cast, from Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson) to Dunster, a “hall of fame” of talent. To dig into how special this cast is, they each share moments from standout castmates, reveal the magic behind the truth barrel, the seemingly easy “human” things that are trickiest to act out, and more. Check out the video above for the full interview.

Rooster debuts on March 8, available to stream on HBO Max. New episodes premiere every Sunday.
