Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader appeared to be proving the theory that blondes have more fun while vacationing in Miami Beach, Florida following the recent end of her four-year marriage to Billy Haire.
As she continues to heal her broken heart, the 27-year-old bombshell showed her estranged husband, 33, what he’s missing in a sizzling orange and yellow tie-dye bikini, which put her incredibly toned physique on full display.
The Louisiana native, who rose to fame after winning the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue’s Swim Search, accessorized her look with a pair of gold aviator sunglasses, hoop earrings and a sexy body chain.
While enjoying the warm spring weather, Nader also rocked a white cowboy hat over her freshly-dyed blonde hair, which shielded her eyes and skin from the the sun’s harsh UV rays.
She appeared relaxed, without a care in the world, as she walked barefoot in the sand toward the ocean during a much-needed break following a busy few weeks, which included posing alongside Christie Brinkley, Molly Sims, Martha Stewart, Paulina Porizkova, Tyra Banks and Winnie Harlow on Sports Illustrated’s 60th Anniversary Issue.

Before going into the water, the beauty tucked her nearly waist-length tresses into a low bun.
On Tuesday, she shared a selfie to her Instagram Story from her day at the beach, which she captioned: ‘Still a blondie.’
Her latest sighting comes after Nader and her husband shared a statement with People that confirmed they were ‘divorcing after living apart for months.’
‘The split is amicable,’ her rep told the outlet. ‘She’s a busy person and career wise she’s on top of the world. All relationships are hard and some can be salvaged, some can’t. They’re both truly amazing people. They have just decided to go their separate ways.’
The pair were last photographed together publicly in early February during a vacation to Mexico.
Notably, Nader attended the recent 8th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards solo on April 28.
She failed to acknowledge their most recent wedding anniversary on social media and Haire has not appeared on the model’s Instagram since December 2022.
Nader and Haire tied the knot back on December 14, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Louisiana native, who rose to fame after beating out 10,000 applicants in a Swim Search open casting call to be photographed as a model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2019, accessorized her look with a pair of gold aviator sunglasses, hoop earrings and a sexy body chain
While soaking up the sunshine, Nader also rocked a white cowboy hat over her freshly-dyed blonde hair, which she debuted last month at the 60th Anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch in New York
The couple exchanged vows in front of 330 of their closest friends and family, a rep for Nader confirmed to People, at the time.
Nader gushed about how ‘excited’ she was to finally ‘call [Haire] hubby’ and that she was looking forward to their future together.
‘We are also excited to just continue our adventures together. We’ve done a lot of fun traveling and look forward to doing even more.’
The wedding location was important to Nader as she is a Louisiana native and attended college at Tulane University.
‘I grew up in Louisiana and went to college in New Orleans for two years and love everything about the city,’ she told PEOPLE ahead of the nuptials.
The couple incorporated ‘some fun New Orleans traditions’ into their wedding, including a post-ceremony line parade.
‘It’s a staple for New Orleans weddings,’ she added.

They worked with wedding planner Leslie Campbell to merge their love of the ‘chic and modern’ with ‘a New Orleans flair.’
Nader walked down the aisle in stunning strapless Pronovias Oberon bridal gown after trying on 50 different dresses.
‘I didn’t think it was going to be such a tough decision. But I searched for the perfect dress for months until I found the right one,’ she told the outlet of her choice.
Nader gushed that Haire was ‘so excited’ when he finally set his sights on her dress, which she’d kept hidden from him until their wedding day.
Although their wedding day went off without a hitch, the couple’s honeymoon had to be postponed until 2021 due to COVID-19 lockdown.
They enjoyed a romantic trip to the Maldives, which Nader documented on Instagram.

Last year, Nader detailed their disastrous first date at Bond Street in an interview with Sports Illustrated that ended with her in the hospital.
‘It was so embarrassing,’ she recalled. ‘I literally had one bite of sushi, sprinted into the restroom and threw up.
‘Billy became my emergency contact when I’d only known him for like two days,’ she continued.
Haire is Vice President of the media company The Arena Group, which owns Sports Illustrated.
Because of this, Nader said that he has always understood the pressures of her job and fully supported her.
‘He’s busy, too,’ she explained. ‘He does his thing and although sometimes we are like ships passing in the night, it works perfectly for us.
‘And when we do get annoyed with each other, I’m probably about to jump on a plane.’
