Love Thy Nader, the glossy new Hulu\/Freeform reality show following the lives of model Brooks Nader and her model sisters in New York, almost feels like watching Cocomelon with the bold glamour TikTok filter on. The series leans heavily into everything it thinks a reality show should be \u2014 good-looking siblings breaking free from their traditional upbringing, going through public breakups, launching clothing lines, and fighting in full glam on girls trips.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just the latest entry to try to capitalize on the formula perfected by Keeping Up With the Kardashians<\/a>. In recent years, shows like The Culpo Sisters, The Family Stallone, and The Bradshaw Bunch have all attempted to follow in those high-heeled footsteps by building a series around famous(ish) sisters. But those failed copycats demonstrate that while the Kardashians might have made it look easy, it takes a lot to successfully be an \u201cIt\u201d family. Much as Keeping Up did, Love Thy Nader features the public trials and internal tribulations of glammed-up sisters (one of whom \u2014 Brooks, in this case \u2014 is more famous than the others) trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, all while attacking each other with cutting remarks for the cameras. But the commonality that\u2019s perhaps most key, and which could cement the show\u2019s place as the Kardashians\u2019 heir apparent, is that the premiere episode is pegged to an already known tabloid story.<\/p>\n The series hits the ground running as Brooks\u2019s whirlwind romance with her Dancing With the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko implodes after she breaks into his phone and discovers that he apparently cheated on her by having a threesome at Joshua Tree. This isn\u2019t just good drama for reality television; it\u2019s a story line that much of the audience likely has a point of reference for outside the show \u2014 giving the series a hook much like Kim\u2019s sex tape was for Keeping Up. It\u2019s a public scandal that the show is offering up an inside look at, and even if this split hasn\u2019t been on your radar, the concept of a DWTS showmance should at least be familiar enough to give you some sort of foothold in this world. Or, even more likely, they\u2019ve entered your orbit via their show\u2019s extensive press tour, which involved stops on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> (who\u2019s an executive producer on the series), podcasts like Not Skinny But Not Fat<\/a>, and even Nightline<\/a>.<\/p>\n Soon after I started watching following its August 26 premiere, I realized that it might actually be one of the most cerebral programs on television. The more of these nearly identical sisters who appeared, the more I felt each of my individual brain cells straining to tell who was who and figure out why I was watching them. In an attempt to ease that burden for new viewers, here\u2019s everything you should know if you\u2019re trying to keep up with the Naders.<\/p>\n Brooks\u2019s modeling career began after she won the 2019 Swim Search open casting call to be featured in the Sports Illustrated \u201cSwimsuit\u201d issue, despite her conservative upbringing in Louisiana. She soon became a regular presence in the magazine before appearing on the cover in 2023. The next year, she competed on Dancing With the Stars with partner Gleb Savchenko, where they finished in ninth place but began dating (as Dancing With the Stars partners are wont to do). That relationship came on the heels of her divorce from her ex Billy Haire, whom she had been with since she was 19. (Haire is now dating another reality-TV star, Southern Charm\u2019s Naomie Olindo.)<\/p>\n While the pair\u2019s intense relationship was on display at the beginning of the first episode (Gleb meets Brooks\u2019s parents and they talk about the possibility of moving in with each other), he quickly became the show\u2019s antagonist thanks to his easy-to-crack phone password and jaunt at Joshua Tree. His alleged infidelity became the inciting incident of the series, and Brooks\u2019s sisters rally around her amid the breakup. Even in absentia, he\u2019s a looming presence as she deals with the public fallout of the split<\/a> \u2014 with many accusing her of staging it as a PR stunt \u2014 and battles with him over text. These episodes also end with a disclaimer that he denies all accusations of infidelity. Though Savchenko was alluding to being fired<\/a> from Dancing With the Stars over the summer on TikTok, he is in fact returning to the series with partner Hilaria Baldwin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
