Sarah Jane Nader, the youngest sister of model Brooks Nader, went home on night 2 of the Dancing With the Stars season 35 premiere on Sept. 16, and Brooks summed up the result in one word: “Robbed.”

Nader and pro Hailey Bills scored 14 out of 30 for a jive to Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” and had the lowest combined total of judges’ scores and viewer votes among the women.

Who is Sarah Jane Nader?

She is an actress and model and the youngest of four sisters from Baton Rouge, Louisiana: Brooks, Mary Holland, Grace Ann and Sarah Jane. The trailer for the family’s reality series introduced her as 23 in 2025.

According to her ABC bio, she has fronted campaigns for Alice + Olivia and MAC Cosmetics and graduated from Fordham University. She also leads nonprofit and talent partnerships at Influencer Social Responsibility, which matches talent with social causes.

What is ‘Love Thy Nader’?

The reality series follows the sisters from their Louisiana roots to their lives in New York City. It premiered on Freeform and Hulu on Aug. 26, 2025, and was renewed for a second season that November.

Brooks, 29, is the best known of the four: a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star who competed on Dancing With the Stars season 33 in 2024 with pro Gleb Savchenko, her ex.

Is Sarah Jane Nader bisexual?

Yes, and she said so on camera. She came out as bisexual on the first season of Love Thy Nader, in a storyline about bringing a woman she was dating home for Easter.

She told Variety she “grew up with this intense shame” about being queer, and that moving to New York, among mostly queer classmates, changed how she saw it. She said she had once been too scared to bring a girlfriend home.

That is how she landed with Bills. DWTS executive producer Conrad Green told TheWrap that she wanted a female partner, and that producers kept landing on the same pair: “those two, those two, they look good.”

What did Brooks Nader say about Sarah Jane’s elimination?

“Robbed,” Brooks commented under an Instagram post about the result on Sept. 17. Then the family turned it into a bit.

The sisters posed in matching “Vote for Sarah Jane” shirts with the first two words crossed out, and Brooks wrote that they “will never let her forget” it. At dinner at Craig’s in West Hollywood, a custom menu for “Sarah Jane and Hailey’s First Dance” was changed to “Last.”

What did Sarah Jane Nader say after going home?

On the ballroom floor, she said dancing with Bills showed “you can love whoever you want, and being yourself is the best power.”

The next morning, she told Good Morning America that “being the second ever all-female pairing on the dance floor is such an honor.”

Dancing With the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+ and streams the next day on Hulu. Love Thy Nader streams on Hulu.
