Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader made a remarkable recovery from a severe bout of food poisoning just in time to host an extravagant joint birthday celebration on a yacht with her close-knit family. The 29-year-old beauty, whose birthday fell on February 7, joined forces with her younger sister Sarah Jane Nader, who will turn 24 on February 20, for a fun-filled soirée that included themed outfits, cocktails, and fireworks.
Private Jet Illness and Swift Recovery
Just days before the celebratory event, Brooks Nader contracted a serious case of food poisoning while traveling aboard a private jet en route to the birthday trip. The illness struck mid-flight, leaving the model weak and disoriented, as captured in photos shared by her sister Sarah Jane. In the images, Brooks is seen lying on the aircraft floor wrapped in a blanket, being tended to by her loved ones.
Her father Breaux Nader was pictured helping her sip from a cup while paramedics were contacted and awaited her arrival on the tarmac. "If you don't get picked up in an ambulance when u land are u even having fun???" Brooks later joked with her 1.8 million Instagram followers, showcasing her resilient sense of humor despite the ordeal.
Themed Yacht Celebration with Family
Despite the health scare, Brooks made a full recovery to enjoy a lavish celebration aboard a yacht with her parents Breaux Nader and Holland Greene Nader, along with sisters Mary Holland, Grace Ann, and Sarah Jane. The evening featured a creative theme where all partygoers were asked to "dress as a birthday girl," resulting in matching slinky, cleavage-baring looks for Brooks and her younger sister.
Brooks modeled a clinging, glittery gold dress for the occasion, tagging stylist Emily Lafitte, while the family engaged in playful roasting. Breaux Nader humorously mocked his daughter by wearing a black T-shirt reading "I ❤️ nipple piercings," and Holland trolled her daughter with a blonde wig, blackout sunglasses, and a tight black outfit.
Family Dynamics and Reality TV Connection
The Naders are no strangers to the spotlight, having experienced reality television fame when their series Love Thy Nader premiered on Hulu last year. This family dynamic was on full display during the celebration, with Grace Ann showing off a temporary lower back tattoo featuring the name of their Hulu show.
Brooks captioned a group snapshot with Sarah Jane and their parents "They roasted us," accompanied by a crying laughing emoji, highlighting the family's close bond and playful relationship. The birthday girls also posed playfully with their respective personalized cakes during the extravagant evening that combined luxury with intimate family moments.
The successful recovery and celebration underscore Brooks Nader's resilience, turning what could have been a disastrous health episode into a memorable family gathering filled with laughter, themed fashion, and spectacular waterfront views.
