Brooks Nader Breaks Silence on Viral Party Moment With Dakota Mortensen
Supermodel Brooks Nader has finally spoken out after a viral event video triggered intense dating speculation involving reality TV personality Dakota Mortensen. The buzz began when both were seen engaging in a seemingly flirty conversation during The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 launch party in New York City.
The clip, captured by creator Max Cohen, sent social media into a frenzy — but Nader has now clarified exactly what happened, and it’s not what the internet assumed.
How the Dating Rumors Started
A Viral Video From The Plaza Hotel Sparked the Internet Buzz
The much-talked-about moment took place at the Plaza Hotel in NYC, where Nader attended the Season 3 premiere of the popular Hulu series.
Cohen’s viral caption read:
“Being an influencer is crazy because what do you mean it’s a Tuesday night and I’m in a private room at the Plaza Hotel watching Brooks Nader and Dakota Mortensen flirt with each other?”
Though the audio wasn’t clear, the body language appeared friendly — perhaps too friendly — fueling immediate romance speculation.

Another POV Made Things Even Messier
Things escalated further when Nader’s sister Grace Ann Nader posted a different angle of the moment, cheekily writing:
“I’m sensing a MESSY crossover.”
With more creators posting reactions, Mortensen himself added:
“These other povs are crazy.”
Nader playfully responded:
“Had no clue there were other povs. Wish me luck guys lol.”
At this point, the internet had already labeled them the next possible couple — but Nader wasn’t having it.
Brooks Nader Clears the Air: ‘I’m as Single as Can Be’
In an interview with E! News, the 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model firmly shut down all dating speculations.
Her statement was simple and direct:
“I don’t know how it stirred into this whole thing. I was having a conversation with a cutie. I don’t even know who he is.”
She explained that while they were attending the same Hulu-related event, she had never met Mortensen before that night.
Nader further emphasized her relationship status:
“He was so nice, but I’m single as can be. I’m a free bird.”
“You Can Do Whatever You Want When You’re Single”
Nader also talked candidly about enjoying her independence:
“You can do whatever you want when you’re single.
Not having to answer to anybody, not having to explain yourself if you’re seen talking or flirting with a guy — dating multiple people.”
Her message was clear:
Friendly conversations do NOT equal dating.
Why Fans Reacted So Quickly
Celebrity culture + nightlife + a “flirty vibe” = instant viral moment.
But as Nader made clear, sometimes a conversation is just a conversation — even if it happens in a glamorous New York setting.
