Brooks Nader reacted to rumors that actor Taron Egerton might guest-star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot during an interview at Fox’s Upfront event [1].
The intersection of a high-profile reboot and celebrity romance rumors often drives viewership and social media engagement for new series. As the show approaches its premiere, the potential addition of a recognized actor like Egerton could increase the production's visibility.
Nader, who is 29 [5], said to Entertainment Tonight in New York City regarding the speculation [1]. The model and actress is starring in the rebooted series, which is slated to premiere in January [1, 2]. During the exchange, she addressed the possibility of Egerton appearing in the show.
"We’re excited to see Taron possibly pop up on Baywatch," Nader said [3].
The comments follow persistent reports that Nader and Egerton are in a romantic relationship. An anonymous source cited by Radar Online claimed the pair have been secretly dating since the start of 2024 [3]. However, Yahoo Entertainment reported that these rumors remain unconfirmed and are based on speculation [2].
Nader has recently discussed personal changes in her lifestyle. In a statement to Us Weekly, she said, "I'm eating a lot healthier and I'm not partying as much, which, you know me, that's pretty hard" [4].
Despite the excitement expressed by Nader, there has been no official confirmation from the production or Egerton regarding a guest appearance [4]. The rumors have persisted as the two have been spotted together, fueling fan interest in both their personal lives and the casting of the reboot [3, 6].
“"We’re excited to see Taron possibly pop up on Baywatch."”
The lack of official confirmation from the studio suggests that while the production may be leveraging the public's interest in Nader and Egerton's rumored relationship for publicity, a guest role for Egerton is not yet a certainty. The timing of these comments ahead of the January premiere indicates a strategy to maintain momentum through celebrity speculation.
