Last month, Baywatch actress Brooks Nader made headlines while she was enjoying a family holiday in Sardinia, Italy. Images obtained by Page Six showed the 29-year-old standing topless on a luxurious yacht in front of her family, including her father.

While Brooks’ parents Holland and Breaux Nader seemed unfazed, the internet was quick to question the actress.
“This is weird,” one user commented under Page Six’s Instagram post sharing snaps of a topless Brooks on holiday. “That's very weird to do in front of your dad unless you’re under the age of 5 or something,” another comment read.
Last week, Brooks responded to the criticism she received while attending the Tommy Hilfiger spring/summer 2027 show on September 10 in New York City.
“I had the time of my freaking life,” Brooks told Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t care if I’m not from Europe. I’m from Louisiana. I grew up in an all-girl household. We’re always naked together as sisters.”
She added that her father was “half blind” and didn’t notice that she was topless, nor did he care.

“He has selective hearing and selective seeing,” the Love Thy Nader star told the outlet. “I was just having the time of my life and really not thinking that anyone was documenting some of it, but we love it. It’s great.”
Here’s everything you need to know about Brooks Nader’s parents, Holland and Breaux Nader.
What does Breaux Nader do?

Breaux graduated from Louisiana Tech University and currently works as a senior financial adviser at Longbridge Wealth Management. Before that, he spent more than 14 years at Wells Fargo Advisors.
According to his bio on the Longbridge Wealth Management website, Breaux and his partner were named in the 2023 Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Management Teams list.
“Away from the office, my wife Holland and I enjoy visiting our four daughters in New York. I also enjoy supporting the LSU Tigers, playing golf and tennis as well as reading, travel and spending time with family and friends,” Breaux’s LinkedIn profile reads.
When did Holland and Breaux Nader marry?

Breaux and Holland tied the knot in August 1995. Little information is available about Holland’s life before she wed the financier.
They had their first child, Brooks Claire, in February 1997 before welcoming three more daughters – Mary Holland in October 1998, Grace Ann in April 2000 and Sarah Jane in February 2002, according to People magazine. They were raised in Maringouin, Louisiana.

“[Maringouin] means mosquito in Cajun French,” Brooks told the New York Post in a 2023 interview. “It really did have a lot of mosquitoes because it was between two bayous. It’s really gross now that I think about it.”
The model went on to recall growing up with “humble beginnings” and living on her grandparents’ property in a two-bedroom house.
They are a tight-knit family

Breaux and Holland have a close relationship with their children. Brooks’ younger siblings have all followed in her footsteps and signed with various modelling agencies. The four sisters also have their own reality television show, Love Thy Nader, which debuted in August 2025 and was renewed for Season 2, set for release this winter.
The couple are often spotted attending events with their children, while Holland regularly celebrates her daughters’ milestones on Instagram.
