Brooks Nader may have been absent from the 2026 Met Gala, but she was sure to share her support for sister Grace Ann Nader.
“PROUD SISSY!” Brooks, 29, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, May 4, tagging Grace Ann, 25, while reposting an image of her on the red carpet.
In a separate Instagram Story, Brooks shared a picture of herself sipping from a glass while seemingly outside of a pizzeria. “Meanwhile … me,” Brooks wrote, alongside laughing and pizza emojis.
Grace Ann was all smiles while dressing for the “Costume Art” theme during her debut at Monday’s fundraiser at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. She stunned in a black strapless gown with a sheer corset, styling her hair down in loose waves.
Brooks, meanwhile, has been making headlines for months, with her love life, her sense of style and her flourishing career becoming hot topics of conversation. News broke in March that she will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot on Fox.
“I think that the times are different, and everyone is so multihyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence,” she told the Daily Mail at the time. “And that’s the beauty of the culture that social media has created.”
Of the cast, which also includes Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne and Noah Beck, Brooks added, “I think that there’s so many platforms and voices that are on the show, in the cast, and I think it’ll only help the series.”
As for how she felt when she landed the role, Brooks recalled, “It was the biggest pinch-me moment of my career.”
“I feel like this is my first big acting gig, and so I’m excited to show people what I can do and obviously big shoes to fill,” she continued. “Baywatch [was] such an iconic series, and we have such a stacked cast of amazing talent. And so I know everyone’s gonna love it. It’s amazing.”
In April, Brooks revealed how the Baywatch gig has shaken up her routine for the better.
“I’m eating a lot healthier and I’m not partying as much, which, you know me, that’s pretty hard,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “But I’m doing it, and I’m working out a lot and taking care of my mind, body, that whole situation. So, it’s a new era, a good one.”
Brooks has also been in the news for her burgeoning relationship with Taron Egerton, to whom she was linked in March after the pair were spotted kissing in California.
“Brooks and Taron have gone out on several dates recently and she is very into him,” a source exclusively told Us in April. “They are casually dating and hooking up. It is still new but he is someone that has definitely caught her eye and kept her interested.”
According to the insider, Brooks and Egerton, 36, “hit it off immediately” when they met while “out with friends” in Los Angeles.
“Brooks doesn’t want to be tied down right now but is definitely enjoying time with him and seeing where things go,” the source said. “He is very charming and she likes that he is a gentleman.”
