Brooks Nader was married to Billy Haire for four years before they separated.
The Sports Illustrated model and businessman first met in 2015, but sparks didn’t initially start flying between the pair. Nader recalled getting violently ill when Haire took her out for sushi on their first date.
“I ate like my first bite of sushi — he already had everything ordered — and I sprinted to the bathroom, and I was projectile vomiting everywhere,” she recalled in November 2022. “Because I got really sick, I had a stomach disease that I didn’t know about.”
Haire thought Nader “just didn’t like him” at first.
“I did like him at the time, and I do now,” she added. “There were many dates after that — he was totally hooked after I sprinted out throwing up.”
