Model Brooks Nader has garnered significant attention and widespread praise for her candid approach to a common, yet often stigmatized, experience: a period mishap in public. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model recently took to TikTok to share a relatable moment from Wimbledon, where she unexpectedly got her period while wearing a long white skirt, a color famously associated with the tournament’s strict dress code.
On Friday, July 4, 2025, Nader posted a video on her TikTok account (@brooksnader) with a self-deprecating caption that read, “Tries to be chic. Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon.” The short clip captured her in a cap-sleeve black blouse paired with her pristine white skirt. As she spun around, she humorously revealed the bright red blood stain, adding, “Of course 🎾 #wimbledon” in the caption, fully embracing the situation with a lighthearted attitude. This authentic and unfiltered display quickly went viral across social media platforms, resonating deeply with countless followers who applauded her for her honesty and bravery.
The immediate public reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with the comments section of her TikTok flooded with messages of support and appreciation. As reported by Page Six (pagesix.com), fans praised her for being “so real” and for normalizing an experience that “happens to us all.” One user specifically thanked her for “normalizing what we go through,” highlighting the significant positive impact of her openness in breaking down long-standing taboos surrounding menstruation and female bodily functions.
Nader’s appearance at the prestigious tennis tournament follows a particularly busy and high-profile period for the 28-year-old model. Just the week prior, she was among the exclusive list of high-profile guests at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding, which took place on the picturesque island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy. At the opulent Venetian nuptials, Nader reportedly had a friendly encounter with former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, with whom she was rumored to have been linked last summer after meeting at an A-list party in the Hamptons. Both Nader and Brady have been spotted at several high-profile events recently, including the F1 Miami Grand Prix in May. However, Brady was not present at Wimbledon this year, as he was reportedly spotted yachting in Ibiza during the same week.
In her personal life, Brooks Nader is currently single. Her relationship with “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer Gleb Savchenko concluded in April 2025. Nader and Savchenko were partners on Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” in 2024, where they finished in 9th place, as detailed on her Wikipedia page (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Nader). Their romance reportedly continued off-screen for several months after their elimination from the competition. In a recent exclusive interview with Us Weekly (usmagazine.com) in May 2025, Nader humorously remarked when asked about Savchenko’s next “DWTS” partner, “I don’t wish that on anyone,” while still encouraging other celebrities to join the show. She also openly discussed her current dating outlook, sharing her openness to dating both men and women, stating, “Maybe it’s a Mr., maybe it’s Mrs., I don’t even know. Who knows? My sister keeps telling me I gotta switch teams. She’s over me with the guys.”
Brooks Nader’s willingness to share such a personal and often private moment underscores a growing trend among public figures to foster authenticity and break down societal barriers. Her lighthearted yet impactful TikTok video has not only entertained but also significantly contributed to a broader, much-needed conversation about body positivity, female experiences, and destigmatizing natural bodily functions in the public eye. Her actions serve as a powerful reminder that even celebrities face everyday challenges, and that embracing vulnerability can lead to widespread connection and positive change.
