Brooks Nader is making a comeback.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit confirmed that the model will appear in its 2025 issue. This will mark the seventh time for the star.
The 29-year-old was photographed by Ben Watts in Bermuda sporting a skimpy gold metallic string bikini with ruched bottoms from Norma Kamali. For the shoot, Nader proudly flaunted her long, lean legs, sunkissed tresses and washboard abs inside a cave.
