Brooks Nader isn’t revealing who her match might be.

On Tuesday, Sept. 2, the Love Thy Nader star, 28, was asked by Jimmy Kimmel to clear up rumors that she’s dating Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner following her appearance at the US Open over the weekend.

Nader — who sat alongside both Stephen Colbert and Evelyn McGee Colbert on Sunday, Aug. 31 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens — was asked directly by the Jimmy Kimmel Live host if she was seeing the Italian tennis player, 24, beyond the court.

“Is this like an interrogation? I’m so scared right now,” Nader said, before Kimmel told her she was “under oath.”

“Well, ask Stephen what match we were at,” she added of Colbert. “I don’t think he was playing in that one. You’re close, you’re warm.”

After Kimmel followed up and asked Nader to clarify if she was seeing “somebody else,” she reiterated: “You’re warm, but we weren’t at that match.”

Reps for Sinner had no comment when reached by PEOPLE.

The match that Brooks actually attended was between athletes Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech.

Nader — who attended that specific match-up, according to Cosmopolitan — has previously been spotted checking out the US Open in both 2023 and 2024.

As for Kimmel’s line of questioning, it comes shortly after Nader and her sisters Mary Holland, Grace Ann and Sarah Jane appeared on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio last week, when the crew hinted at Brooks getting DMs from athletes in “every field imaginable.”

“Every field and court,” Grace Ann clarified, “Not the NBA court.”

Nader was then asked by co-host Evan Real if her sister meant the “tennis court,” before Grace Ann added: “It rhymes with winner.”

Nader recently called it quits with ex Gleb Savchenko in April, less than a year after their partnership on season 33 of Dancing with the Stars.

After the fallout of the model’s messy breakup from Savchenko was captured in her new series, Nader told PEOPLE it was “really, really difficult to watch back the relationship and the demise of it unfold.”

“I think it was eye-opening, because I noticed certain things that I might not have noticed throughout the relationship that the girls say were present the entire time,” Nader said. “I think it was a great form of self-reflection.”

“I was acting like a different person when I was in that relationship, which is a bad sign — you should be totally, fully yourself when you’re in a good relationship,” she added. “But I think when everything went down and seeing me emotional and seeing me go through that and have to relive that made me realize that I need to trust my next partner because I don’t want to live that again.”
