Who Is Brooks Nader’s Ex-Husband? All About Her Divorce Before Gleb Savchenko Romance
Before Brooks Nader was a contestant on Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, where she struck up a romance with pro partner Gleb Savchenko, she was married to Billy Haire for four years.
The couple met in 2015 and got engaged three years later, then tied the knot in 2019. However, in May 2024, it was confirmed that they’d separated. Now, Nader is putting her life in the spotlight on her family’s new reality show Love Thy Nader, which she stars in alongside her three sisters: Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane.
With Nader’s love life front and center in the new series, we’re looking back at her relationship with Haire. Scroll down for a refresher.
How did Brooks Nader and Billy Haire meet?
Nader and Haire met in 2015. She was not yet 21 years old, and her fake ID was denied at a bar in New York City called Mr. Purple. Haire, who was 12 years Nader’s senior, witnessed the situation unfold and decided not to enter the bar.
They went on their first date at a sushi restaurant, during which Nader got sick in the bathroom. Haire thought the supermodel wasn’t interested in him, but she was actually ill! “I did like him at the time, and I do now,” she told Sports Illustrated. “There were many dates after that. He was totally hooked after I sprinted out throwing up.”
The two walked down the aisle in New Orleans (Nader is from Louisiana and went to school at Tulane for two years before moving to New York).
Why did Brooks Nader and Billy Haire split?
News of the former couple’s breakup was confirmed by multiple outlets in May 2024, with Page Six first reporting the news. The site reported that the two had already been separated for months at the time.
A rep for Nader told People that the divorce was “amicable” and that Nader and Haire had been “living apart” for months. Her career taking off seems to have played a part in the decision to end the marriage.
“She’s a busy person and careerwise she’s on top of the world,” an insider added. “All relationships are hard, and some can be salvaged, some can’t. They’re both truly amazing people. They have just decided to go their separate ways.”
What does Billy Haire do for a living?
Haire currently works as the SVP of sales and partnerships at Minute Media, per LinkedIn. He’s held the position since 2024. He’s also a real estate investor and advisor.
He previously worked at The Arena Group for four years and at Time Inc., where he served as digital director for eight years. He received a Bachelor of Science from Bucknell University in 2009 and got his master’s in business from New York University.
Who is Billy Haire dating now?
Haire is now dating Naomie Olindo, who is best known as a cast member on Southern Charm. The two went Instagram official earlier this year.
