Rumors swirled that Ben Affleck and model Brooks Nader were Hollywood's latest item, but Nader quickly shut it down. The pair has never even met, according to her Instagram post and confirming sources. This comes as Affleck keeps a low profile post-Jennifer Lopez divorce.
Oh, the internet loves a good rebound story, doesn't it? Just when we thought Ben Affleck might be dipping his toes back into the dating pool after that messy split from Jennifer Lopez, whispers hit the wires claiming he and Sports Illustrated swimsuit star Brooks Nader were hitting the town together. Published reports from January 24, 2026, suggested this could be Ben's first big romance since the divorce dust settled.
But hold the phone—Nader wasn't having it! The model hopped on Instagram to spill the tea herself, writing, "Haven't met him in my life." Sources close to the situation backed her up, confirming the two have zero history together. No secret cover-up here, folks; it's just another case of rumor mill gone wild. Conspiracy theorists, take a seat. 🔥
Ben's been playing it cool on the romance front ever since his marriage to Lopez ended, staying firmly out of the spotlight. Meanwhile, Nader's been the one serving looks and links—remember her steamy, short-lived fling with 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Gleb Savchenko? She's also been spotted in the mix with tennis hunks Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after ditching the dance floor.
So, no Batfleck and Brooks bromance (or more) in the works. Turns out, Hollywood's not always what it seems—or what the tabs want it to be. Is Ben's heart still on hiatus, or just waiting for the right script? 👀
