Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader's exes are 'watching' her new sizzling photos

Brooks Nader knows that her exes are watching.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model appears in the iconic magazine for the seventh time alongside Salma Hayek, Jordan Chiles, Lauren Chan and Olivia Dunne as this year's cover girls.
The 28-year-old told People magazine at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swim Launch Party in New York City that her former flames have been keeping a close eye on her steamy spread.
"They like it. They view it, they see it. They're watching, but... I'm moving right along," the pinup told the outlet about her exes' reactions to her photos. "I'm sure they see it, but whatever. I don't care."
Nader was romantically linked to Gleb Savchenko while competing on Season 33 of "Dancing with the Stars." According to the outlet, they reunited after splitting in October 2024, but this April, they called it quits for good.
Savchenko, 41, denied rumors of infidelity.
"I'm not a cheater," he told E! News. "I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f---boy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I'm not even on dating apps."
Nader is more focused on making a splash these days. She told People magazine that posing for a seventh year was a different experience for her.
"I had a lot of body confidence issues when I first started out in the industry, and I feel like I've evolved into someone who's confident in herself," said Nader. "And I didn't prepare as much this year. I kind of ate a cheeseburger the night before… Because they don't give a f---… They want you for you."
"I think that's the beautiful thing about Sports Illustrated and why I am still, seven years later, so honored to be a part of it," she shared.
The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native took part in the 2019 Swim Search open casting call and won. She has appeared in the magazine every year since. In 2023, she appeared on the cover of a "Baywatch"-inspired shoot. Then, in 2024, she was part of the SI Swimsuit Legends photo shoot alongside 26 other models to celebrate the magazine's 60th anniversary.
The original swimsuit issue ran in 1964. It has been a launching pad for models such as Kathy Ireland, Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, Kate Upton and Ashley Graham.
Over the years, the issue has tried to stay fresh, with painted bikinis, plus-sized models, unedited photos, tiny swimsuits, amputee models, older models and the addition of professional athletes.
For the 2025 issue, Nader was photographed in Bermuda by Ben Watts.
In 2023, Nader told Fox News Digital that having a fitness routine she practices daily has helped her both look and feel her best.

"Throughout the year, I just try to stay as healthy as possible and just have balance," said Nader at the time. "I don't go on any crazy crash diets. I'll just maybe cut out all my spicy margaritas for a couple of weeks leading up to a Sports Illustrated shoot, just to feel mentally clear and healthy in general."
"My weakness and downfall are spicy margaritas," she chuckled. "I try to cut those out for a few weeks, which is super challenging. And a guilty pleasure of mine is probably ramen – I love ramen. I could eat three bowls of ramen a day."
Some models prefer Pilates, while others stick to running. For Nader, she said her secret to staying in shape is boxing, which she does regularly. The sport was also a known favorite for former Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima.
"I box, which I feel has given me a lot of strength and toning," Nader explained. "I've been boxing for the last few years, and I feel that has helped me a lot."
"Being a model over the last six years – it can mess with you a little bit mentally because you're going through ebbs and flows of getting really in shape for a shoot," she shared.
"And then after that, you're [enjoying] all your cheat meals. I just went through so many phases of my life as a model where I was not steady and constant with working out and eating healthily. I would just go through these crazy highs and lows. And I feel like, lately, as I'm getting older, I just feel it's really important to keep steady."
Nader stressed that finding a fitness routine that is fun will help people stick with it and meet their health goals. There is also nothing wrong with eating your favorite comfort foods in moderation, she said.
"I almost flew back to Louisiana for a crawfish boil because it's seasonal, and it's my favorite thing ever," she said. "My mom always said I can eat my weight in crawfish. I literally can eat seven or eight pounds of crawfish in one sitting. It's so spicy and salty, the way my dad does them. I have to take off all my jewelry because I'll puff up the whole next day, but it's so worth it – I miss it so much."

Johnny Marr Reveals Real Reason He Turned Down 'Eye-Watering' Offer To Reunite With Morrissey

Music legend Johnny Marr has said there was a very simple reason he wasn't interested in getting The Smiths back together. In September 2024, former Smiths frontman Morrissey claimed that he and his former bandmate had been made a 'lucrative offer' months earlier to reunite. While he claimed that he'd been in favour of a reunion, he wrote that Marr had simply 'ignored the offer', though the man himself later insisted: 'I didn't ignore the offer – I said no.' During an interview on the podcast Stick To Football, the guitar hero confirmed: 'We [had] an offer [to reunite] recently, but I said no.' He went on to say the decision was 'a little bit about principles', adding: 'But I'm not an idiot, I just think the vibe's not right. Bad vibe.' 'It was an eye-watering amount of money,' Marr noted, but pointed out: 'I really like what I'm doing now which makes it a lot easier. I really like where I'm at. I still work, I craft, I still want to write the best song I've ever written. I want to be a better performer.' In an attempted dig at his former bandmate last year, Morrissey wrote on his official website when Marr's dismissal of a Smiths reunion was made public: 'Morrissey said Yes to the offer; Marr ignored the offer. 'Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November. Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.' Morrissey has come under fire on numerous occasions in the last few years for his commentary on politics both in the UK and abroad, as well as his apparent endorsement of far-right groups and parties. Around the time that Morrissey first alleged that Marr had thrown the brakes on a Smiths reunion, the guitarist responded to one X user's calls for the group to get back together with a simple photo of a grinning Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, of whom the Everyday Is Like Sunday singer has previously spoken favourably.

These Dads Offer Hugs—and a Spiral—at Pride - CNN 5 Good Things - Podcast on CNN Audio

Krista Bo 00:00:00 Hey there, good to have you. Today's Feel Good Stories span tens of millions of years, with a few classic tunes in the mix. A newly discovered dinosaur species is helping scientists fill in a big missing piece of the T. Rex family tree, plus. Hoboken My Way Sinatra Sing Off Contestant 00:00:24 "New York, New York" clip Krista Bo 00:00:24 In Frank Sinatra's hometown, fans of all ages are keeping the late and great singer's legacy alive, one note at a time. From CNN, I'm Krista Bo, and this is Five Good Things. Krista Bo 00:00:39 There are all kinds of ways to let someone know they're welcomed and accepted. And at pride events across the country, one Pennsylvania dad does it with a Nerf football. John Piermatteo 00:00:48 Not all of us were lucky to have loving supportive fathers, especially in the LGBTQ plus community. And in many instances, they may not have realized how much they missed having a father hug them and tell them that they're proud of them until we do it. Krista Bo 00:01:08 Since 2019, John Piermatteo has been showing up at pride events, offering to toss a ball around with anyone who needs a moment of connection. The idea came to him after seeing free mom hugs and grandma hugs at pride event. John Piermatteo 00:01:21 I painted a sign that said play catch with a dad, leaned it up against a tree, and just kind of sat there waiting to see what would happen. I had no idea what might happen. Krista Bo 00:01:32 He didn't have to wait long. A young woman walked by and asked if she could play catch, tossed the ball twice, and then broke down crying. John Piermatteo 00:01:40 She was just so grateful that I was there and told me how her dad just stopped doing things with her, especially playing catch. They used to be close, but when she came out, everything changed, and it was an amazing moment, and I knew that I might be onto something. Krista Bo 00:01:57 That first interaction was all the motivation John needed to create the nonprofit organization, Play Catch with a Dad. John and his crew of volunteer dads have expanded beyond Pennsylvania to Pride events in San Diego, Phoenix, and this year, Chicago and Maryland. Last week, they played catch outside Wrigley Field during the Chicago Cubs Pride night. And next week, they'll be in Maryland at the Baltimore Orioles game. John Piermatteo 00:02:21 Sometimes it might just be a 60 second, 90 second interaction for a dad. But for those people, it could mean just so much more than that catch and the hug and the, and I love you and I'm proud of you. And we just never know how we might touch someone's heart. We just never know. Krista Bo 00:02:43 What started as just one sign under a tree has turned into something much bigger. John Piermatteo 00:02:49 My dream is that anytime there's a pride event in the United States, there's dads there to play catch and give hugs. Krista Bo 00:02:55 If you want to donate or volunteer in your area, head to The link is also in our show notes. Krista Bo 00:03:08 A mom in Newton County, Indiana is sharing her incredible survival story just three months after a scary car crash. Brieonna Cassell 00:03:16 One of the first things I told myself was, all right, you gotta stay calm, because if you freak out, it's not gonna help you. Krista Bo 00:03:22 'Brieonna Cassell, she goes by Brie, is a 41-year-old mother of three. Back in March, CNN affiliate WLS reported she fell asleep behind the wheel on a rural road and went into a ditch. Her legs got trapped in the car and she couldn't move. Brieonna Cassell 00:03:38 My car ramped up, it smacked into the embankment on the other side, it crunched like an accordion. It threw my body into the floorboard. Krista Bo 00:03:48 She had hoped someone would find her in the morning, but her car was so deep in the ditch you couldn't see it from the road, and her phone was just beyond her reach. Brie's mom reported her missing, but she was in this position for six days, using her clothing to soak up water from the ditch to stay hydrated, with the thought of her family to keep her going. Brieonna Cassell 00:04:09 But my kids are, my kids, are most. That's what I was really worried about. I wasn't leaving my babies. Krista Bo 00:04:18 On the sixth day, Brie knew she couldn't go on like this any longer. Brieonna Cassell 00:04:22 I said I've done everything that I can think of. I cannot get out of here alone. You have to let somebody see me or I'm not gonna make it out. Krista Bo 00:04:30 Little did she know, a man driving a tractor saw her car and alerted a local volunteer fire chief. That fire chief found Brie and had her airlifted to a nearby hospital, where she learned she had compound fractures in her legs and forearms, and numerous broken ribs and vertebrae. Brieonna Cassell 00:04:47 I get emotional talking about all that too because if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here. Kim Brown 00:04:52 Brie is an amazing, amazing young woman. Thank you so much for finding my baby. I could never repay you. Krista Bo 00:05:01 After 13 surgeries and the placement of several rods, plates and pins, Bree was released from the hospital and now she's back at home with her loving family. She's expected to be back on her feet soon with the help of physical therapy and she plans to write a book about her remarkable story of survival. Krista Bo 00:05:23 Scientists have just discovered a new dinosaur species related to the T. Rex that lived 86 million years ago. Jared Voris 00:05:30 We found a new species of one of those ancestors, and we named that Khankuuluu Mongoliensis, the dragon prince of Mongolia. Krista Bo 00:05:37 'Jared Voris is a paleontologist and post-doctoral scholar at the University of Calgary, and the lead author of a recent study published in the journal Nature that fills in a big missing piece of the Tyrannosaurus family tree. Jared Voris 00:05:49 And the reason we settled on that was because tyrannosaurs are generally regarded as being these giant, you know, kings or whatever. And so Tyrannosaurus Rex itself literally translates to tyrant lizard king. So we wanted a name that would kind of signify that this is an ancestor or the predecessor or right before they became kings. So we settled upon Khannkhuuluu, which means the Prince of Dragons. Krista Bo 00:06:11 Discovered in a fossil collection in Mongolia that hadn't been touched since the 1970s, the Khankuuluu helps explain how the tyrannosaurs evolved from smaller, speedier hunters into massive apex predators we see in the Jurassic Park films. Jared Voris 00:06:26 I jokingly refer to them as predatory horses, because they're about the size of a horse. They were pretty big, but compared to what they were going to be or what their descendants would be, which are elephant sized, they were still quite small. They had these really long, shallow skulls, kind of like horses do. Their teeth were actually designed for cutting through flesh, so different than what you see with T. Rex teeth, which would have been able to crunch through bone. So, Khankhuuluu didn't have that capacity yet. And it also had these really long limbs. So it was actually probably an animal that was built for speed. Krista Bo 00:06:58 So if you're not a dinosaur fan, you might be asking why should we care? Jared Voris 00:07:03 Paleontology teaches us about our past. By understanding how ecosystems of the past have changed over time, that can help us to understand what the future might hold for us. Krista Bo 00:07:15 'It's pretty common to hear about dogs that give mail carriers a hard time. But fortunately for long-time postal worker Ian Burke, that's not the case. Ian Burke 00:07:24 Good boy. Good boy. Come on, go this way. Krista Bo 00:07:27 Ian lives in Denton, Texas, which is just outside of Dallas. And last week he told CNN affiliate WFAA that he had adopted a dog straight from an old delivery route. Ian Burke 00:07:38 Probably one of the best things that the postal service inadvertently issued me. Krista Bo 00:07:41 The dog's name is Floyd, and today he weighs 70 pounds. When Ian first met him on the job three years ago, Floyd was just a puppy who belonged to an elderly Vietnam veteran. And Ian just looked forward to seeing him. Ian Burke 00:07:54 And he got out the door and he like charged at me, right? A little puppy. Krista Bo 00:07:58 Ian lost touch with the dog and his owner when his route changed about a year and a half ago. But when the veteran died, the postman who took over the route let Ian know that Floyd had been taken to a local animal shelter. Ian Burke 00:08:09 I kind of felt responsible to, to take care of him. This is a dog that was loved and cherished by a former customer of mine. I think he would, he'd be pleased to know that his former mailman is taking good care of his, of his dog. Krista Bo 00:08:25 It didn't take Ian long to make his next move. Ian Burke 00:08:28 I went down to the shelter at about 10 a.m. Because when they opened, I got there at 9:50 to make sure I was first in line. Krista Bo 00:08:35 And he was! Ian left the shelter with Floyd. As the two start a new chapter in their lives together, Ian says he hopes to inspire others to adopt shelter dogs. Krista Bo 00:08:48 'All right, pop quiz. What's the last song Frank Sinatra sang in public? The winner of a Sinatra sing-off in his hometown sang it, so the answer's after the break. Stay with us. Krista Bo 00:09:07 In Hoboken, New Jersey, Frank Sinatra's spirit lives on in ways that are just as timeless as his voice. Geri Fallo 00:09:14 He was born in Hoboken, December 12th, 1915. They named the street after him. The post office is named after him, the park, the waterfront park is named after him and there is, you know, a statue of him now. Krista Bo 00:09:31 Gerri Fallo spent more than 30 years as Hoboken's director of cultural affairs and now serves as a trustee on the board of the city's historical museum. She's the one who spearheaded the citys' annual Sinatra singing contest. Krista Bo 00:09:43 It was first launched in 2007 to celebrate Hoboken rich musical roots. And since then, people all over the world have contacted Jerry over the years to try to compete. Geri Fallo 00:09:53 Last Thursday, with the New York City skyline as the backdrop, 10 contestants competed in the 16th annual My Way Sinatra Sing Off. At Hoboken's outdoor Sinatra Park amphitheater. Gerri says this year's event had something extra special. Geri Fallo 00:10:07 I would say we've had singers 18, 19 years old, but never this young. Krista Bo 00:10:21 '10-Year-old Joseph JoJo Trusso was the youngest contestant ever to compete in the competition. He belted out Sinatra's 1964 rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon," from the DECA record label with a full-on swagger. And while he didn't win, Gerri said the judges thought the fifth grader has a long, promising career ahead of him. The first place winner, however, had some special ties to the city and Sinatra. John Rennell 00:11:00 I am John Rennell. I live now in Ellentown, Florida, but I was born and raised in Hoboken. I've been performing live music since I'm 14, and I'm 70. But music can keep you young, and especially so with me. Always loved Sinatra's music. It's done a lot for me. I stand on the shoulders of what the styles he invented. Krista Bo 00:11:27 And using a golden mic he said was once used by the iconic singer himself, John sang his 1964 hit, "The Best Is Yet To Come," from the record label Reprise. Krista Bo 00:11:44 Fun fact, "The Best Is Yet To Come," was the last song Sinatra sang in public before he died in 1998, and the phrase was originally inscribed on his tombstone. In the city where he got his start, Sinatra's songs still inspire fans of all ages, doing it their way on a summer night in Hoboken. Krista Bo 00:12:24 All right, that's all for now.
