Brooks Nader shuts down dating rumors with Taron Egerton after a series of PDA-filled sightings that sparked speculation: “I’m just single, having fun, always.”

Brooks Nader has addressed growing speculation surrounding her rumored romance with actor Taron Egerton, firmly downplaying claims that the two were ever officially involved despite a series of public outings that fueled dating rumors earlier this year. The model, who has recently been filming her upcoming series Baywatch, offered a straightforward clarification about her relationship status while continuing to maintain a busy professional schedule in the entertainment industry.

Speaking to TMZ while on set, Nader dismissed the idea that there had ever been a formal relationship between them. “I’m just single, having fun, always,” she said, reinforcing that she is not currently committed to anyone. She added, “I’m just going on fun dates, but not with anyone right now,” framing her social life as casual and non-exclusive rather than romantic in a defined sense.

When asked directly if she was seeing someone, Nader responded with humor, saying, “I’m working. I’m just Baywatching,” a playful reference to her current acting project. The comment came as speculation continued to circulate following multiple sightings of her with Egerton in social settings over the past several months.

Rumors of a relationship between Nader and Egerton first began on March 27, when reports suggested the two had been seen together during a screening of Project Hail Mary, the science fiction film starring Ryan Gosling. The following day, they were photographed spending time together at the Shutters on the Beach hotel in Santa Monica, California, further intensifying public curiosity about the nature of their connection.

At the time, sources described the pair as appearing “infatuated” and comfortable in each other’s company, suggesting familiarity that went beyond a first meeting. Their interactions quickly became a topic of media interest, particularly as both maintained relatively private personal lives prior to the sightings.

On March 29, Nader and Egerton were seen holding hands and sharing a kiss, marking the most publicly affectionate moment of their rumored relationship. That same evening, they dined together at Giorgio Baldi, a well-known celebrity restaurant in Santa Monica, although they reportedly maintained some distance when leaving the venue.

As the months progressed, the pair’s alleged connection appeared to continue, with reports indicating that they spent time together during a weekend trip that included travel to Australia. Photographs of them in relaxed settings added to speculation that their relationship may have extended beyond casual dating, although neither party confirmed exclusivity.

In April, their outings continued as they were seen spending time together off the coast of Australia, appearing comfortable in each other’s presence during what seemed to be a private getaway. These sightings contributed to ongoing narratives in entertainment media suggesting a developing romance.

By May, Nader and Egerton were also spotted dining with members of Nader’s family at Craig’s in West Hollywood, a detail often interpreted as a sign of seriousness in celebrity relationships. However, reports noted that the pair kept a degree of physical distance during the outing, leaving ambiguity about the exact nature of their connection.

A subsequent dinner with Nader’s family in June further fueled speculation, though again observers noted that they did not publicly present themselves as a confirmed couple. Despite repeated appearances together, neither Nader nor Egerton formally addressed the rumors until Nader’s recent comments.

Nader’s relationship history has frequently drawn media attention, particularly her previous marriage to businessman Billy Haire, which lasted from 2019 until their separation in 2025. Following her divorce, she was linked to dancer Gleb Savchenko, her partner from Dancing With the Stars, a relationship that lasted from September 2024 to April 2025.

These past relationships have contributed to public interest in her dating life, with each new appearance alongside a public figure often generating speculation. Her current statement, however, suggests a deliberate effort to separate casual social interactions from confirmed romantic commitments.

For his part, Taron Egerton has also maintained a relatively private personal life despite his high-profile acting career. Known for roles in films such as Rocketman, he was last publicly linked to actress Chloe Bennet in 2024, though that relationship reportedly ended before the current wave of speculation involving Nader.

Egerton’s recent public appearances with Nader had initially led to widespread assumptions about a new celebrity pairing, particularly given their visible chemistry during outings and shared social events. However, without confirmation from either party, the narrative has remained speculative.

Nader’s current focus appears to be centered on her expanding career in television, with her involvement in the Baywatch project marking a significant professional step. The series, which revisits the iconic lifeguard franchise, has placed her in a more prominent acting role while she continues to balance modeling work and media appearances.

Her comments also reflect a broader trend among public figures seeking to clarify personal narratives in response to viral speculation. In an era where casual outings can quickly evolve into headline-making rumors, Nader’s emphasis on being “just single” underscores a desire to control the framing of her private life.

At the same time, the repeated sightings with Egerton illustrate how modern celebrity culture often blurs the line between friendship, dating, and public perception. Even brief interactions or shared travel can be amplified into assumed relationships, particularly when both individuals are already in the public eye.

Neither Nader nor Egerton has indicated that they plan to further address the speculation, leaving their past encounters open to interpretation. For now, Nader’s statements suggest that any perceived romance was either brief, informal, or misinterpreted by external observers.

As both continue their respective careers—Nader in television and Egerton in film—the focus appears to have shifted away from their rumored connection and back toward individual professional trajectories. Still, public interest in their interactions remains, driven by the visibility of their past appearances together.

Ultimately, Nader’s clarification reframes the narrative from one of a developing celebrity romance to a more casual social overlap between two public figures navigating fame, work, and personal boundaries in an increasingly scrutinized media environment.
