His recent conversation with his mother, Meredith Marks, on RHOSLC opened a window into his personal life, a rarity in the show. When Meredith asked, "so what's going on on the dating front?" Brooks responded by saying:
"Nothing serious with anyone..I mean, I just got out of, like, a serious relationship. So, I feel like that's the last thing that I want."
Brooks revealed he's not seeing anyone seriously since he just exited a "great first relationship." His reflections exhibit a cautious approach towards plunging into another romantic endeavor so soon, indicative of a maturing perspective.
Meanwhile, Meredith shared her observations on his personal growth, showcasing a supportive familial bond:
"Watching Brooks navigate his first relationship was incredible."
She continued:
"And now Brooks has become more secure in his own being..It's wild to see him feeling comfortable and open."
Brooks' uncertainty about what he seeks in a future partner reflects the exploratory phase of young adulthood, a time of self-discovery.
His honest admission, shared on RHOSLC, extends beyond personal revelation, resonating with the universal uncertainties that accompany young love and relationships.
