Brooks Nader is showing off her toned physique while giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at filming her reality series.
The 29-year-old model and reality star shared a series of photos on her Instagram stories while working on the upcoming second season of her show “Love Thy Nader.”
In the images, Nader is seen posing in a black bikini paired with red sweatpants featuring white side stripes as she stands in front of a swimming pool surrounded by production crew members.
One photo shows her facing away from the camera while another captures her looking directly toward it. She accessorized the look with a large gold cross necklace, black sunglasses, and wore her hair in a loose messy bun.
Cameramen and crew members are visible in the background, underscoring the production setting of the shoot.
Another image shows Nader sipping coffee while filming continues around her, along with additional behind-the-scenes shots including a car dashboard mounted with camera equipment.
“Love Thy Nader” follows Brooks and her sisters Sarah Jane, Grace Ann, and Mary Holland as they navigate careers in fashion after relocating from Louisiana to New York City. The first season chronicled the challenges and dynamics of living together while pursuing fame in the fashion industry.
Nader previously described her transition into reality television as difficult, citing major personal changes during the same period.
“The biggest adjustment, I think, wasn’t even the cameras. It was me having lived with my ex from 18 to 27 and then going back to square one and moving in with all my sisters, and the chaos that follows that,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Nader met her former husband, Billy Haire, in 2015 when she was 19. The couple married in 2019 and separated after roughly five years together, announcing their divorce in 2024.
During the show’s first season, Nader’s parents revealed they remain on good terms with her ex-husband, with her father noting they maintain their own independent relationships with him.
“It’s a part of my story. It’s a part of what shaped me,” Nader said in a separate interview. “It was a really, really hard decision to get a divorce just because you don’t love somebody. That’s why I did it.”
Alongside her reality series, Nader is also filming the upcoming “Baywatch” reboot, which features a cast including Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Jessica Belkin, and others.
She plays Selene, a captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards who often clashes with co-captain Hobie Buchannon, played by Amell.
Her casting drew criticism online from some viewers who dismissed the production as “influencer casting” and questioned the acting credentials of the ensemble.
Nader responded to the criticism by emphasizing the evolving nature of the entertainment industry.
“I think that the times are different, and everyone is so multi-hyphenate now,” she told the Daily Mail. “And you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence.”
She added that social media has expanded opportunities in entertainment and allowed performers to build multi-faceted careers.
As filming continues on both projects, Nader is balancing her reality show with her expanding acting career, positioning herself at the intersection of modeling, television, and streaming entertainment.
