Brooks Nader Sets the Record Straight on Ben Affleck Dating Speculation: ‘Haven’t Met Him’

Brooks Nader is shutting down romance rumors before they gain any more traction.

The Love Thy Nader star, 28, found herself unexpectedly linked to Ben Affleck after online speculation claimed the two had been “hooking up.” But according to Nader, there’s absolutely nothing to the story. After Deuxmoi reported on January 24 that a source insisted the pair had actually “never met,” Nader herself jumped into the comments to set the record straight, writing simply, “Haven’t met him in my life.”

While Affleck, 53, may be off the table entirely, Nader’s love life has been a frequent topic of conversation over the past year thanks to her very public and complicated romance with Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko.

The two met during season 33 of the ABC competition series, where their undeniable chemistry quickly sparked dating rumors. At first, Nader denied anything romantic, but fans raised eyebrows when the pair were spotted kissing both backstage and in public. Things escalated even further when they got matching tattoos shortly before their elimination from the show on October 15, 2024.
