\u201cIt\u2019s casual. She has a very active social calendar and likes to party, and Tom is often with the kids and doesn\u2019t like the nightlife scene,\u201d the source shared.<\/p>\n
A few months later in September, Brooks began \u201chooking up\u201d with her season 33\u00a0\u201cDWTS\u201d\u00a0partner, Gleb Savchenko.<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t dating, but they\u2019re enjoying spending time together and getting to know each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
In September 2025, Brooks\u2019 sister Grace Ann Nader confirmed her involvement with Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz during an interview with\u00a0E! News. \u201cThe rumors are true,\u201d she said. \u201cDating is such a loose term. But I do know he\u2019s the man of the hour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nader has reportedly also been seeing another tennis player, the Italian Jannik Sinner. According to\u00a0Page Six, Nader was \u201cdating both the tennis tournament\u2019s No. 1 and 2 seeds\u2014arch rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u2014at the time of the [US Open].\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to Brooks\u2019 romance with Dakota, however, she denies all of the rumors that were being spread online after a TikTok of the pair posted by her sister went viral.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how it stirred into this whole thing,\u201d Brooks told\u00a0E! News. \u201cI was having a conversation with a cutie. I don\u2019t even know who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re part of our Hulu family so we went to support,\u201d she explained, \u201cbut I had met him for the first time. He was so nice, but I\u2019m single as can be. I\u2019m a free bird.\u201d<\/p>\n
The reality TV star is enjoying being single.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can do whatever you want when you\u2019re single,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cNot having to answer to anybody, not having to explain yourself if you\u2019re seen talking or flirting with a guy, dating multiple people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d pros\u00a0Derek Hough\u00a0and his wife, Hayley Erbert Hough, are getting ready to become first-time parents \u2014 and they marked the special moment with an intimate, star-studded baby shower in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Held on Nov. 13 at Cosette Wine Bar + Bottleshop, the expecting couple celebrated their baby on the way surrounded by family, friends, and several familiar faces from the DWTS family. According to\u00a0People, the event was organized by Derek\u2019s sister, Julianne Hough, along with friends Britt Stewart and Jessica Gee, and event planner Troy Williams of Simply Troy. Julianne described the celebration as \u201cethereal\u201d and \u201cdreamy,\u201d honoring the couple\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n
\u201cHayley and Derek are such a beautiful match,\u201d Julianne told People. \u201cThey are the perfect combination of creativity and strength, and they give so much love to each other and the people in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the guests were DWTS alums Sasha Farber, Mark Ballas and his wife BC Jean, Daniel Durant, and Angela Ribeiro.

Julianne also presented the couple with a keepsake edition of Grimm\u2019s Fairy Tales filled with handwritten notes and illustrations. \u201cHaving Derek, Hayley, and this new little angel living here in L.A. will be so amazing,\u201d Julianne added. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to spoil the baby rotten.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple, who tied the knot in August 2023, are getting ready to welcome their first child this winter. In a\u00a0recent Instagram video, Derek showed off their baby\u2019s nursery-in-progress, revealing a cozy crib setup. Hayley commented, \u201cThe one and only thing we have in the nursery so far. But we\u2019re slowlyyyy making progress .\u201d<\/p>\n
Derek, 40, and Hayley first announced their pregnancy in July with a sweet video of them embracing against a scenic view, captioned, \u201cWe can\u2019t believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small \u2665\ufe0f.\u201d The couple, who dated for eight years before marrying, has continued to share glimpses of their journey while maintaining an element of surprise \u2014 especially when it comes to their baby\u2019s gender.<\/p>\n
While the pair hasn\u2019t confirmed their baby\u2019s sex, fans believe Derek may have\u00a0accidentally revealed it\u00a0\u2014 twice. During the Oct. 14 \u201cDedication Night\u201d episode of \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d, the judge nearly said \u201cdaughter\u201d while reflecting on a contestant\u2019s father-daughter dance before quickly correcting himself. \u201cWatching you two dance really made me excited to have my own moment with my\u2014 with my own child,\u201d he said, sparking immediate speculation.<\/p>\n
Weeks later, Derek\u00a0posted a rehearsal clip\u00a0of him and Hayley dancing, where many fans claimed they heard him say, \u201cThat\u2019s my girls. That\u2019s my baby.\u201d The comment reignited theories that the couple is expecting a girl. \u201cTwice he\u2019s now slipped, so definitely a baby girl,\u201d one fan commented.<\/p>\n
Despite the speculation, the couple has kept details under wraps and continues to enjoy this season of anticipation. Their baby is expected to arrive in December and judging by the excitement surrounding their shower, they\u2019re already surrounded by love and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
