Who is Brooks Nader in ‘Love Thy Nader’?

It feels like reality TV is always on the hunt for an interesting family dynamic. A concept that TLC largely developed, other networks quickly jumped on board with considerable success. Over the last two decades, we’ve peered in on the lives of little people, tagged along with the Kardashians’ rise to fame, judged the Brown family’s polygamist structure, and questioned the strength of family bonds with the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now, Freeform is trying its hand at the genre with its latest reality TV offering, Love Thy Nader. The series, which premiered on August 26 on Freeform, will focus on the Nader sisters, but Brooks Nader appears to be the primary focus. We have collected everything you need to know about Brooks and her sisters ahead of the premiere.

What is ‘Love Thy Nader’ about?

Love Thy Nader is a reality TV series that follows Brooks Nader and her sisters, Sarah Jane Nader, Grace Ann Nader, and Mary Holland Nader, as they navigate a brand-new life in New York City. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the series will follow the siblings as they acclimate to the city. The show’s first season will heavily focus on the sisters’ ability to navigate the new challenges that life, love, and careers in New York City bring.

Love Thy Nader was announced in 2024. According to E! News, Jimmy Kimmel, who shares an agent with the sisters, is attached as an executive producer. The show, according to several sources, is largely inspired by Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but will be more heavily focused on the bond between sisters, rather than the larger family dynamic.

Why is Brooks Nader famous?

In 2019, Brooks Nader was a student at Tulane with plans to study finance. That year, she also submitted herself to Sports Illustrated’s open casting call. Out of 10,000 submissions, Naders was selected, and she appeared in the publication’s pupublication’s020 swimsuit issue.

The win launched her career. The publication asked her to return for the same issue three consecutive years. In 2023, she appeared on the magazine’s cover. In 2024, she participated in the 33rd season of Dancing with the Stars, which essentially launched her career as a reality TV personality. She opted to forgo her education to focus on her budding modeling and social media career.

What do the other Nader sisters do for a living?

Brooks Nader’s rise to fame dragged her sisters along for the ride. While it appears they largely support Brooks in her modeling and entrepreneurial endeavors, they also have their own lives and jobs. Mary Holland Nader works as a financial analyst. In her free time, she posts to Instagram, but her main career is in wealth management. It appears she attended the University of Georgia.

Sarah Jane Nader, a Fordham University graduate, is a model signed with Ford Modeling Agency. She is also Head of Nonprofit & Talent Partnerships at Influencer Social Responsibility. Grace Ann Nader, also signed to Ford, appears to have much bigger plans. According to LinkedIn, she earned her master’s degree in global public health from NYU in 2024.
