Summary -
Taron Egerton and Brooks Nader were photographed walking arm-in-arm after dinner at Capo Steakhouse and drinks at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on March 28.
Sources say that the two have already been on more than five dates and have "known each other for some time," suggesting a connection that predates the paparazzi.
Neither Egerton nor Nader has publicly confirmed the relationship, but onlookers reportedly described the pair as looking "infatuated" with each other.
If you've been sleeping on the Taron Egerton and Brooks Nader dating rumors, this weekend delivered a rude awakening. The Rocketman star, 36, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 29, were photographed walking arm-in-arm after dinner at Capo Steakhouse before getting drinks at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica on March 28 — and the PDA levels were apparently not subtle.
This was not, apparently, some spontaneous celebrity collision. The pair were first seen kicking off the weekend with a movie date, attending a screening of Project Hail Mary in Los Angeles on Friday. One evening of Ryan Gosling and space survival apparently wasn't enough, so they followed it up the next night with oceanfront cocktails and dinner. Cute? Absolutely. Coincidental? Definitely not.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the two have been seeing each other romantically since first meeting in Los Angeles earlier this year and have already been on more than 5 dates together. How they met remains a mystery — which, if anything, just makes this more intriguing.

A source told Page Six what the photos were already screaming: the two seemed "infatuated" with each other at Shutters on the Beach, and that "it wasn't their first date" — adding, "They have known each other for some time."
Neither Nader nor Egerton has publicly addressed the romance rumors, but the photos from their Santa Monica evening speak for themselves. Their reps hadn't responded to requests for comment as of publication.
So how did we get here? Both parties arrive at this rumored romance with some relationship baggage worth unpacking. Egerton previously dated Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Chloe Bennet, but they split last summer. Before that, he was in an on-off relationship with assistant director Emily Thomas for six years.

Nader's recent romantic résumé is, shall we say, eventful. She dated her Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko, on and off for seven months before they broke up for good last April. The split got messy when Nader's sister alleged that Savchenko had been unfaithful — a claim he denied with considerable vigor. "I'm not a cheater," Gleb told E! News. "I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f–kboy who goes around and goes on all these dates." Compelling disclaimer, Gleb.
Before Savchenko, Nader was married to media executive Billy Haire for nearly five years. Their split was confirmed in May 2024, with a representative saying they were "divorcing after living apart for months."
And then there were the tennis rumors. Speculation swirled that Nader was romancing both 2025 U.S. Open finalists Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner — though she handled that particular interrogation with the kind of practiced evasion that only someone who has sat across from Andy Cohen could pull off. "I would just say a lady never kisses and tells, especially twice," she said on WWHL. "That's just not nice."

Which brings us back to Egerton, a Welsh actor best known for playing Elton John in sequined jumpsuits and somehow making Tetris feel emotionally resonant. He is, by most accounts, a solid trade-up from "my DWTS partner" or "a guy who definitely isn't on dating apps."
The pairing has a certain chemistry-by-contrast appeal — the buttoned-up British actor and the perpetually-in-the-headlines Sports Illustrated cover girl. The pairing has caught attention not just for its star power, but for how effortlessly the two seem to have slipped into each other's orbit.
Whether this becomes something official — or fizzles out before anyone has to update their Wikipedia pages — remains to be seen. But five-plus dates and an arm-in-arm Santa Monica stroll suggest that, at the very least, Taron Egerton has found himself a new leading lady.
