Billy Haire and Brooks Nader’s divorce after nearly five years of marriage

Billy Haire and Brooks Nader started dating in 2015. The model recalled her first date with Billy during an interview with Sports Illustrated.

“I ate my first bite of sushi, and I sprinted to the bathroom, and I was projectile vomiting everywhere. I had a stomach disease that I didn’t know about,” she told the Sports magazine.

She added:

“The waitress went back to the table and said, ‘Your date’s in the bathroom having a really rough time.' Then I sprinted out of the date, and he thought that I just didn’t like him. But I did like him. There were many dates after that — he was totally hooked.”

They got married four years later at St. Mary's Church in New Orleans.

“I’m mostly excited to call him hubby! We are also excited to just continue our adventures together. We’ve done a lot of fun traveling and look forward to doing even more,” the model said in an interview with Sports Illustrated.

Unfortunately, after nearly five years, Billy and Brooks announced their divorce.

A representative of the model told PEOPLE that the split was amicable. An insider also told the publication that:

“Brooks is a busy person, and career-wise, she’s on top of the world. All relationships are hard. Some can be salvaged, some can’t. They’re both truly amazing people. They have just decided to go their separate ways.”
