Brooks Nader has either been hiding in plain sight with her new relationship with tennis heartthrob Carlos Alcaraz, or it's all part of a continued publicity stunt.

After playing coy throughout the US Open about dating a professional tennis player, her little sister Grace Ann dropped the bombshell today that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model was indeed dating the US Open champion.

Nader was in the stands this past Sunday to watch Alcaraz outlast his rival, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, in four sets, for his second American major and sixth Grand Slam title overall, not to mention a record-setting $5 million winner's purse to go along with his US Open hardware.

Today at the world's most odd brand crossover event, the Raising Cane's, of fried chicken fame, New York Fashion Week show, Grace Ann said, "The rumors are true. Dating is such a loose term. But I do know he’s the man of the hour.”

The "dating is such a loose term" part of the comment gives us pause, but the "Love Thy Nader" model seemed to directly take on the hot rumor, started by her sister, with her latest Instagram post in a branded spot for Samsung.

"What’s everyone flipping out over? #icant," Nader, 28, wrote for part of the caption.

So while we try to decipher if this is reality or the new marketing world of influencers, Alcaraz might be getting hit up exponentially for much more than his dramatic buzzcut, or now the even more bonkers blonde hair, that turned into a major good-luck charm.

Carlos Alcaraz has officially entered his blonde era.

Hopefully the Spaniard was either in on the revelation or the publicity hoax.
