Both stars come to this relationship fresh from recent breakups. Nader previously dated her Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko.

She was later linked to tennis champions Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, though neither relationship materialized into anything serious.
Egerton previously dated Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Chloe Bennett beginning in December 2024. That romance ended in the summer of 2025. Before that, he was in a six-year on-and-off relationship with assistant director Emily Thomas, who worked on major films like The Batman and No Time to Die.

What’s Next for Brooks Nader and Taron Egerton
Nader is currently preparing for a major career milestone. She has landed the iconic red Baywatch swimsuit for an upcoming reboot of the legendary show. The model recently revealed she had an emotional reaction to putting on the suit, which will premiere soon. She trained alongside co-star Livvy Dunne, another Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stunner, in intensive ocean training sessions.
