Brooks Nader has published about her marriage and subsequent divorce.
When her new reality series Love Thy Nader aired, the 28-year-old model spoke with people about leaving her small Louisiana home town to build a life in New York City. She took the plunge and revealed that she didn’t even ask her parents before making a decision.
“When I moved to New York, my father said, “You have a full-ride scholarship. I don’t have the money to support your life in New York. You better find a boyfriend,” she joked, “I did it, thank God.”
Nader mentions her current husband, Billy Haire, whom she met at the same time and continued to marry when she was 22 and 33.

“I was fresh from the divorce and when I started filming, I was like a very childish relationship,” she says. “I met my ex-husband when I was 18 and I was with him until I was 27, so he was my first date.
Shortly after her divorce, Nader began dating her dance with Stars partner Gleb Sabenko. Their relationship ended with a nasty breakup and infidelity accusations, but she revealed to your Nader’s love that she is excited by your strong physical connection.
“All we did was have sex because I didn’t talk much with him,” she confessed, “When I was with my ex-husband, I wasn’t really into sex.”
In an earlier episode of her reality show, she said being single around 41-year-old Sabenko is a big shift after marrying her first boyfriend.
“Then go to the hottest guy I’ve ever seen,” Nader said. “We had the craziest and wildest sex ever.”

She later admitted to worrying whether she “wasted so much time with my ex-husband” as she aims for her future goal of having children.
When Brooks and her sisters returned home to visit their parents in Baton Rouge, she became even more annoyed when she learned that some of her family were still in contact with Haia.
“I think parents are really obsessed whenever we have a partner,” she admitted. “Obviously, along with my ex, I’ve been with him since I was 18-27, so they fell in love with him so much. I fully understand and admire him. But when things go south and don’t go well, there should be no questions asked. “We’re loyal to our daughter.”
Her dad shared that Heia is his “golf buddy” and her mom told her she would text him. Some of her sisters revealed that they remained in contact with the businessman.

“It’s an inappropriate behavior, so you should stop replying to Billy,” Nader said.
When her dad pushed back, she replied, “I have a good relationship with him. You should have a good relationship too. Life is too short to have a grem.”
“In my family, nothing worse than the D-word,” Nader explained in his confession. “I’ve been divorced. No matter what I achieve, it won’t erase the shame my parents have around my divorce. When I told my parents I was divorced, you’d think I killed someone. That lack of support was the most difficult part for me.”
