Leaving her Louisiana home to pursue her modeling dreams at the age of 19, Brooks Nader knew she had to make some big deals. “When I moved to New York, my dad was like, ‘You’re living a full-ride scholarship. I have no money to support your life in New York. You better find a boyfriend,'” she explained to People. “Which I did, thank God, for just the rent purposes.”
Though, she arguably grew quite fond of advertising executive Billy Haire, the duo marrying in New Orleans’ French Quarter in December 2019.
Her mom and dad were less than thrilled to hear about their separation nearly five years later. “When I told my parents I was getting divorced, you’d think I killed somebody,” she shared on the Love Thy Nader reality series she filmed with sisters Sarah Jane Nader, Grace Ann Nader and Mary Holland Nader. “They were like, ‘This is the worst decision ever. Divorce is a sin.'”
But the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model would beg to differ. “Once I got to that other side, I realized, ‘Wait, I got me. I can do anything I f–king put my mind to,'” she reflected to Bustle in 2025. “I was with someone for 10 years, and I cut it off and came out better. I can push out a human; I can start a company; I can get over anybody. It’s euphoric, that feeling.”
As for Billy, he went on to charm another reality star, he and Southern Charm alum Naomie Olindo announcing their engagement in December 2025.
