Tom Brady seems to have a new love interest in his life who is not his friend Kim Kardashian. TMZ reports that the former quarterback player and Irina Shayk spent a romantic weekend together, with Brady at one point being captured stroking Shayk’s cheek, and Shayk being caught staying the night at his place.
On Friday, TMZ wrote, Brady picked up Shayk from Hotel Bel-Air and drove her to his place, where they walked in together. The outlet’s sources said that Shayk did not leave until the next morning at 9:30 A.M. Brady dropped Shayk off at her hotel, then picked her up again later that afternoon.
That was when Brady was photographed caressing Shayk’s cheek at a stoplight. Shayk and Brady went back to his home, the sources told TMZ. Shayk was first reported to have romantic interest in Brady in early June, with Page Six claiming Shayk made “a beeline” for Brady at a wedding they both attended.
“She followed him around all weekend,” one source alleged. “She was throwing herself at him.” The outlet wrote it heard that Brady “wasn’t interested,” although he and Shayk are friends.
Shayk’s rep denied the report at the time, saying, “This story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening.”
This is Brady’s first reported romance since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. Shayk’s last high-profile relationship was with Kanye West briefly in 2021, although she more recently sparked reconciliation rumors with her ex and father of her daughter Bradley Cooper in late 2022.
Shayk spoke to ELLE about keeping her personal life private on purpose in March 2021. “I don’t read what is out there,” she said. “Honestly, I’m too busy raising a child. If they want to write articles [about me], they’re doing their job. I’m concentrating on my life and my friends. The rest is just noise.”
