Actor Taron Egerton was introduced to Brooks Nader's family during a dinner in Los Angeles, fueling debate over whether their relationship is genuine or a publicity stunt to boost his James Bond prospects.
Taron Egerton took a major step in his romance with Brooks Nader on Saturday, as he was introduced to her family during a swanky dinner in LA.
The actor, 36, was first linked to the Baywatch bombshell, 29, back in March, and was seen leaving the hotspot Craig's in West Hollywood with the Nader clan. Brooks cut a glamorous figure in a low-cut ivory satin crop top and boyfriend jeans as she jumped into the car after her dinner. The actress was joined by her mother Holland Greene and her father Breaux, as well as her sisters Mary Holland and Sarah Jane.
Like Brooks, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane relocated to New York from the Southern town where they grew up to pursue careers in modelling. The fact that Taron has met Brooks' family will no doubt bring an end to confusion around whether their relationship was a 'showmance' after sources questioned whether it was part of a bid by the actor to play the next James Bond.
Taron Egerton took a major step in his romance with Brooks Nader on Saturday, as he was introduced to her family during a swanky dinner in LA The actor was first linked to the Baywatch bombshell back in March, and was seen leaving the hotspot Craig's in West Hollywood with the Nader clan Those close to the typically private actor were left puzzled by his recent PDA-packed display with Brooks which was revealed by the Daily Mail.
Insiders questioned whether the amorous make-out session in California was in fact a ploy to increase his chances of being picked for the role by being snapped with the model, after it was claimed he's on the shortlist to replace Daniel Craig. Brooks is an unabashed self-promoter whose mantra is 'Naked Ambition', with 1.8million followers and counting.
The images of them kissing left many asking whether Taron may have unwittingly found himself at the centre of La La Land's latest 'showmance' - a term coined in the early days of Hollywood referring to two stars who use a romantic entanglement to boost both their profiles. It emerged at the time that the possible matchmaker for the couple was none other than Lauren Sanchez, who introduced the pair at her star-studded wedding in Venice to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos last June.
Lauren then set them up on a 'proper date' at the end of March. A source told the Mail On Sunday: 'Brooks has been wanting to meet a celebrity for a very long time. She wanted to be in a power couple.
' The pair went to the cinema to see America's No1 film, Project Hail Mary, on Friday night, followed by dinner at Giorgio Baldi, a celebrity restaurant in Santa Monica beloved of stars such as Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins. In March, the couple were spotted at Shutters On The Beach, a luxury five-star hotel overlooking the ocean where rooms start at £750 a night.
Taron was seen leaving the restaurant alongside Brooks and her family in LA Brooks cut a glamorous figure in a low-cut ivory satin crop top and boyfriend jeans as she jumped into the car after her dinner The actress was joined by her mother Holland Greene and her father Breaux, as they met Taron for the first time Brooks' sister Mary Holland flashed a hint of sideboob in a chic white shirt and black cropped trousers during the family dinner Sarah Jane Nader was hand-in-hand with a male pal as she opte for a chic black look during the dinner Like Brooke, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane relocated to New York from the Southern town where they grew up to pursue careers in modelling The fact that Taron has met Brooks' family will no doubt bring an end to confusion around whether their relationship was a 'showmance' Those close to the typically private actor were left puzzled by his recent PDA-packed display with Brooks which was revealed by the Daily Mail Brooks is an unabashed self-promoter whose mantra is 'Naked Ambition', with 1.8million followers and counting In March, the couple were spotted at Shutters On The Beach, a luxury five-star hotel overlooking the ocean where rooms start at £750 a night A witness said: 'What was funny was they sat out on the balcony drinking cocktails.
'They were kissing and hugging and then a random fan came up to her to get a picture, and handed the camera to Taron to take the photograph. 'The person didn't know who he was, but she's all over social media so she was the one they wanted a picture of, even though he's far more famous and successful.
' A source said: 'She's been everywhere in her red swimsuit so it didn't surprise me that the person recognised her, not him. They came outside and kissed outside the hotel.
'It was a bit strange. You never see people acting like that. Either they were in their own world and genuinely didn't care or maybe they knew there was a photographer there.
' The pair then walked to Capo steak restaurant near the hotel. One producer who has worked with Taron told the MoS: 'Warning bells went off for me when I heard they walked to dinner. No one walks in LA. Ever.
'You only walk on a treadmill in the gym. If you leave a place and it's a block to the next place you take a car.
' Calls to representatives for the couple went unanswered at the time, however it certainly wouldn't be the first time two gorgeous Hollywood stars have used a 'romance' to bolster their profiles. Taron's macho display of virility certainly wouldn't harm his chances of becoming the next 007.
He also has a movie that hit Netflix on April 24 - a survival thriller called Apex in which he plays a serial killer hunting a rock climber through the Australian outback. Meanwhile, Brooks' social media profile has exploded since the pictures emerged - she even became one of the most searched-for names on X among Americans.
The one-time beauty queen from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has always been open about using the media - and social media - to get maximum coverage. Her long climb to fame took off back in 2019 when she beat 10,000 women to feature in Sports Illustrated, appearing in the magazine regularly before becoming its swimsuit cover star in 2023.
Nowadays she is the star of Love Thy Nader, a D-list reality TV show on the streaming platform Hulu, which also stars her equally pneumatic sisters Mary Holland, Sarah Jane and Grace Ann. The foursome live in a townhouse in New York and the show has recently been renewed for a second season, which will be screened later this year to the dismay of critics who have dubbed it 'the poor man's Kardashians.
' Whether her liaison with Taron makes the edit remains to be seen, but her overt display of affection with him will not have harmed the show's publicity.

Wales lose to Romania in friendly, Bellamy criticizes performanceWales manager Craig Bellamy expressed disappointment after a 2-1 defeat to Romania in Bucharest. Despite David Brooks scoring, goals from Florinel Coman and Adrian Rus secured a first win for new Romania coach Gheorghe Hagi. Bellamy lamented his side's lack of penetration, slow build-up play, and wasted chances, stating they were 'not good enough.' The loss extends Wales' winless streak in away friendlies since 2008 and their overall winless run in 2024, with their only recent victory being the 7-1 win over North Macedonia in November. Players like Ethan Ampadu, Brennan Johnson, and Lewis Koumas missed opportunities. Wales now prepare for Nations League A matches against Portugal, Denmark, and Norway later this year.
