Everyone in the tennis world is talking off the sidelines. Carlos Alcaraz, one of the world's most rising tennis star, now has a girlfriend, and everyone can't help but be curious as to who she is.

Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about Brooks Nader:

1. From Baton Rouge to the Big Time

Brooks Claire Nader was born on February 7, 1997, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the eldest of four sisters. She is part Lebanese.

Raised in a modest household—her father initially earned about $18,000 annually and the family received food donations from a church—Brooks grew up with strong values and work ethic.

According to Yahoo, "Brooks describes their humble beginnings at the start of Love Thy Nader’s premiere episode, revealing that they all “slept in one room” growing up and their mother, who had four kids by the time she was 25, would often remind them that they were “rich in love.”"

She graduated from Episcopal School of Baton Rouge in 2015 and later attended Tulane University.

5. Personal Life in the Spotlight
