Brooks Nader is happy that she got to watch her friend dance into a new chapter.
The Dancing With the Stars alum provided insight into what it was like attending friend Lauren Sánchez-Bezos and her husband Jeff Bezos‘ wedding weekend festivities last month, revealing that the former journalist has been in great spirits ever since the star-studded occasion.
“She is glowing head to toe,” Brooks exclusively told E! News while walking the red carpet at the 2025 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles July 16. “She’s just such an incredible woman and I’m so happy she found the love of her life.”
And the 28-year-old was especially pleased to have gotten in some quality time with Lauren in Paris days after she said “I do” to Jeff during their black-tie ceremony in Venice, which was also attended by celebs including Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Sydney Sweeney and Oprah Winfrey.
“We had a great girls night in Paris,” Brooks said. “It was amazing.” (For more from Brooks, tune into E! News tonight, July 16, at 11 p.m.)
But that doesn’t mean Lauren’s special day has inspired the model to settle down just yet. As Brooks—who split from her DWTS partner Gleb Savchenko in April, less than a year after announcing her separation from estranged husband Billy Haire—put it, “I am single and ready to mingle.”
In fact, she said fans can expect to see all the highs and lows of her dating life “play out” on screen in her upcoming Freeform reality TV series, Love Thy Nader, which premieres Aug. 26 and also stars her sisters Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader and Sarah Jane Nader.
“The show reveals a lot about relationship things that I’ve been dealing with privately that no one knows about and just life post-divorce,” Brooks explained. “And living with my sisters in our 20s—it’s sort of Sex and the City meets Swamp People.”
She added, “We’re from the deep, deep south and we’re all living in Manhattan now, and we’re chasing our dreams.”
