MODEL Brooks Nader looks fantastic in plastic while out for a stroll.
The Sports Illustrated star, 28, wore a low-cut black vinyl mini dress with choker, knee-high socks and heels in New York on Friday.
Brooks has been romantically linked to dancer Gleb Savchenko, 41, her pro partner on Dancing with the Stars.
She said of speculation: “That doesn’t make me mad at all.”
A source close with the model claimed the connection may be even deeper than fans realise, as she “has really started to fall for Gleb.”
“Her friends haven’t seen her this giddy or nervous around a guy before,” the insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
The source continued: “They are trying to play it somewhat cool even though it’s out there that they’re a thing now but behind closed doors, they have so much passion.
During season 23 of DWTS, it was reported that Gleb “hooked up” with his partner that year, country singer Jana Kramer, while she was separated from her then-husband Mike Caussin.
Despite the reports at the time, Gleb insisted that there was “absolutely no truth” to the rumors he had an affair with Jana.
In September, The U.S. Sun also revealed that Brooks’ friends had grown more and more concerned over the sudden relationship with Gleb.
After weeks of teasing their romance, Brooks and Gleb appeared to solidify suspicions with a kiss as they were spotted locking lips backstage on the set of DWTS last week.
