Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader seemed to be proving the theory that blondes have more fun while vacationing in Miami Beach, Florida, following the recent end of her four-year marriage to Billy Haire.
As she continues to heal her broken heart, the 27-year-old bombshell showed her ex-husband, 33, what he’s missing in an orange and yellow tie-dye bikini, which put her incredibly toned physique on full display.
The Louisiana native, who rose to fame after winning the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Swim Search, accessorized her look with a pair of gold aviator sunglasses, hoop earrings, and a sexy body chain
While enjoying the warm spring weather, Nader also sported a white cowboy hat over his newly dyed blonde hair, which protected his eyes and skin from the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays.
She looked relaxed, without a care in the world, as she walked barefoot across the sand toward the ocean during a much-needed break after a busy few weeks, which included posing alongside Christie Brinkley, Molly Sims, Martha Stewart, Paulina Porizkova, Tyra Banks and Winnie Harlow on the 60th anniversary issue of Sports Illustrated.
Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader seemed to be proving the theory that blondes have more fun while vacationing in Miami Beach following the end of her four-year marriage to Billy Haire.
Before entering the water, the beauty tied her hair almost to her waist in a low bun.
On Tuesday, she shared a selfie on her Instagram Story from her day at the beach, which she captioned: “I’m still a blonde.”
Her latest sighting comes after Nader and her husband shared a statement with People that confirmed that they were ‘getting divorced after living apart for months.’
“The separation is amicable,” his representative told the outlet. ‘She is a busy person and professionally she is on top of the world. All relationships are difficult and some can be saved, others cannot. They are both truly amazing people. They have simply decided to go their separate ways.
The couple was last publicly photographed in early February while on vacation in Mexico.
Notably, Nader attended the recent 8th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards alone on April 28.
She didn’t acknowledge their most recent wedding anniversary on social media, and Haire hasn’t appeared on the model’s Instagram since December 2022.
Nader and Haire were married on December 14, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
As she continues to heal her broken heart, the 27-year-old bombshell, who was last photographed in early February while on vacation in Mexico, showed her ex-husband, 33, what he’s missing in a hot tie-dye bikini orange and yellow knotted.
The Louisiana native, who rose to fame after beating out 10,000 applicants in an open Swim Search casting call to be photographed as a model for the Sports Illustrated Swim Issue in 2019, accessorized her look with a pair of gold aviator sunglasses, hoop earrings and a sexy body chain
While sunbathing, Nader also sported a white cowboy hat over his newly dyed blonde hair, which he debuted last month at the launch of Sports Illustrated’s 60th anniversary swimsuit issue in New York.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 330 of their closest friends and family, a rep for Nader confirmed to People at the time.
Nader gushed about how “excited” she was to finally “call (Haire) her husband” and that she was looking forward to their future together.
‘We are also excited to continue our adventures together. “We have had a lot of fun traveling and hope to do even more.”
The wedding location was important to Nader, as she is a Louisiana native and attended Tulane University.
“I grew up in Louisiana and went to college in New Orleans for two years and I love everything about the city,” she told PEOPLE before the nuptials.
The couple incorporated “some fun New Orleans traditions” into their wedding, including a post-ceremony parade.
“It’s a staple for New Orleans weddings,” he added.
On Tuesday, she shared a selfie from her day at the beach on her Instagram Story, which she captioned: “I’m still blonde.”
They worked with wedding planner Leslie Campbell to fuse their love of “chic and modern” with “New Orleans style.”
Nader walked down the aisle in a stunning strapless Pronovias Oberon wedding dress after trying on 50 different dresses.
“I didn’t think it was going to be such a difficult decision. But I searched for the perfect dress for months until I found the right one,” she told the outlet of her choice.
Nader gushed that Haire was “so excited” when she finally laid eyes on her dress, which she had kept hidden until her wedding day.
Although their wedding day went off without a hitch, the couple’s honeymoon had to be postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
They enjoyed a romantic trip to the Maldives, which Nader documented on Instagram.
Her latest sighting comes just weeks after Nader and her husband shared a statement with People confirming that they were “getting divorced after living apart for months” (seen in 2022).
Last year, Nader detailed her disastrous first date on Bond Street in an interview with Sports Illustrated that ended with her in the hospital.
“It was very embarrassing,” he recalled. “I literally ate a bite of sushi, ran to the bathroom and threw up.
“Billy became my emergency contact when I had only known him for two days,” she continued.
Haire is vice president of media company The Arena Group, which owns Sports Illustrated.
Because of this, Nader said he always understood the pressures of her job and fully supported her.
“He’s busy too,” she explained. ‘He does his thing and although sometimes we are like ships passing in the night, he works perfectly for us.
“And when we get mad at each other, I’m probably about to get on a plane.”
