Brooks Nader goes topless on sun-soaked Sardinia getaway

Brooks Nader looked so laid back as she enjoyed a topless moment during her getaway to Sardinia, Italy, with the star soaking up the sun on a boat in the Mediterranean. 

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model rocked nothing but crochet swim bottoms and a sparkling pendant necklace as she opted to go topless on the yacht before jumping off the side into the crystal-clear waters. 

Brooks’ family joined her on the yacht trip, with her mother, Holland, her father, Breaux, and one of her sisters, Sarah Jane, enjoying a dip in the ocean beside her. 

The 29-year-old has been sharing insight into her European vacation on social media, and posted a snap of herself below deck wearing a sheer white lace dress with a crisscross halter neck. She paired the look with a matching lace headband, diamond studs and large black sunglasses. 

Growing up in Louisiana

Brooks is not afraid to showcase her enviable curves, despite growing up in a household in Louisiana that was “extremely Christian and extremely conservative”, as she told Maxim. 

“I always wanted to express myself, and I wanted to look sexy. I fantasized about living in LA or New York, but it seemed worlds away. I also had to toe the line because of where I’m from,” she shared. 

The model shared with Fox News Digital that despite their previously conservative values, her parents were excited about her upcoming role in the Baywatch reboot. “They’re pumped about Baywatch because it’s a one-piece [swimsuit] – we weren’t allowed to wear two-piece bikinis growing up,” she said. 

“So they’re like, ‘You’re following the family rules. You’re wearing a one-piece [swimsuit]. So, we’re all good.'”

“It is the most exciting thrill of a lifetime,” Brooks added about her role in the highly anticipated project. “I feel like there’s so much anticipation and everyone has to wait until January, but I think it’s only going to build; the momentum is going to build.” 

Brooks will star as Selene, the “sharp-tongued Captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards,” as per the show’s synopsis.

“While [Selene] is excellent at her job, she and Baywatch Captain Hobie Buchannon have a very different approach to saving lives that is a constant source of friction,” it read. 

“Never on good terms, their relationship only goes downhill after Hobie brings his daughter Charlie onto his team…and it becomes clear that their rivalry goes much deeper than lifeguarding.”

Meanwhile, Brooks works hard in the gym to achieve her incredible figure, despite her intense schedule. “I work out at least five times a week. It’s important to keep my muscles flexible and strong,” she told Us Weekly. 

“If my schedule allows, I’ll usually hit the sauna after a tough workout,” she continued. “It’s a really relaxing time to sit, sweat everything out and mentally prepare for my day.” 

She also enjoys walking, which allows her to soak in the sights and fit in extra exercise. “I try to walk everywhere, especially when I have jobs in New York City,” she said. “I love people watching and checking out neighborhoods – and [the city] is the perfect place to do both things.”
