Maybe I’m really out of touch, but were people freaking out either way regarding the Tom Brady and Irina Shayk news? Tom and Irina were photographed together in LA this past weekend and it’s clear that they spent the weekend shacked up together, bumping uglies. Like, I was somewhat surprised that it happened, but it’s not like “oh, wow, Tom Brady is dating a nuclear physicist, that’s random” nor was it like “oh, a beautiful model is dating someone ugly and poor??” They’re two attractive, mature, wealthy, famous adults who are free and single. Anyway, People Magazine and other outlets have a lot of follow-up reporting on this hookup, so let’s dive in. First up: is Gisele Bundchen mad??
Gisele Bündchen wants nothing but the best for Tom Brady. Amid rumors that a summer romance has been brewing between the retired NFL quarterback, 45, and model Irina Shayk, an exclusive source tells PEOPLE that his ex-wife “is on holiday in Brazil at the moment and is living her life, but she’s said in the past that she just wants him to be happy.”
I believe this more than I believe the reports that Gisele is furious or worked up over it. It’s not even like Tom had some random fling with a nanny or whatever (cough) – this was a thought-out tryst, not a spontaneous and ill-advised one night stand. Speaking of:
The new summer romance between Tom Brady and Irina Shayk has been brewing for “a few weeks,” a source tells PEOPLE. Shayk, 37, and Brady, 45, “have been in touch for a few weeks,” according to the insider, who says “there is a spark” between the model and retired NFL star.
The source says Brady invited Shayk to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles,” where the two were spotted cozying up during a romantic weekend. “They spent the night Friday and Saturday at a house” where Brady is staying, the source explains.
“There is an attraction,” according to the source, who adds that Brady and Shayk “have never been involved romantically before” the summer fling began.
Another source tells PEOPLE that the two first started talking when they were guests at billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad’s wedding to model Madison Headrick in Sardinia, Italy back in June.
Sure – they met at the June wedding, Irina followed him around and threw herself at him and he gave it some thought and said “sure, that might be interesting.” Meanwhile, the Mail’s sources claim that Irina’s ex, Bradley Cooper, is in his feelings about all of this. For a while last fall, I thought Irina and B-Coop were getting back together and maybe having another kid together. Their reunion didn’t go anywhere though. The Mail’s source says: “To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie. He has been on and off and on with Irina and he has so much love for her. She is the mother to his girl and they are his two favorite women in the world. He feels that, for the first time, she met someone in Tom that would take her heart away from him forever. Tom is very capable of being a devoted husband and parent and husband. This is what gets to Bradley.” So instead of marrying the mother of his daughter and having more babies with her (which is what Irina wanted), Bradley is now mad that Irina is dating someone who might marry her and maybe even have a kid with her? Men are so awful.

- Monaco, MONACO – **FILE PHOTOS** Like many public spaces across the country, parks in Tampa, Florida, are closed to visitors because of restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus. That didn’t prevent one man from trying to get an outdoor workout recently. The scofflaw was none other than new Tampa resident Tom Brady, according to Mayor Jane Castor. And, yes, the superstar quarterback was sighted (not cited), she said. Park staff came across Brady while patrolling a downtown park, Castor said Monday during a joint news briefing with St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman. “I got to tell you this story, too. Now, I always tell people, I’m not one to gossip so you didn’t hear this from me,” Castor said. “Our parks are closed down; and so a lot of our parks staff they patrol around just to make sure that people aren’t doing contact sports and things like that, and saw an individual working out in one of our downtown parks,” Castor said. “And she went over to tell him that it was closed and it was Tom Brady.” Pictured here during a Tag Heuer event during the 76th Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix **SHOT ON 05/26/2018** Pictured: Tom Brady BACKGRID USA 21 APRIL 2020 BYLINE MUST READ: Best Image / BACKGRID USA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@backgrid.com UK: +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@backgrid.com *UK Clients – Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*

I feel like this is a planted item from Irina’s team to make her look desirable and get headlines. Tim doesn’t stay alone long but I’m guessing this is more of a hookup for him. Neither is that interesting but congrats on finding a hot summer fling.
I feel like this is PR from team Tom trying to rid himself of the desperate divorced dad vibes.
Yep & someone the barstool guys approve of. This is just bro culture on shine.
Also, I think he really wants to advertise that he is not dating Kim K…He wants to project that he can do better
You are wrong, this is a planted item from Brady’s team to make HIM look desirable and get headlines. You can find many stories like this.
He retired, he is a has been, but he doesnt want to go away.. He is an attention seeker.
I just get this feeling that Bradley Cooper would be an absolute nightmare to date….
Therickestrick, I agree with you. He seems high maintenance and someone would spend a lot of time reassuring him that he’s great.
According to his ex-wife…he was a nightmare to be married to so…she said he could flip on a dime and had a mean cold side.
He dealt with alcohol addiction & got sober, so he was probably a lot worse to deal with in the past than today. Maybe he’s still a jerk, but a sober one, lol.
Given what Gisele has said about Leo and moving on from him, said about her relationship to Bridget Moynahan and Jack, and about wishing Tom happiness, I don’t see her as being against Tom and Irina at all. The only reason she might be is if she thinks it’s unhealthy for Ben and Vivi, otherwise she’s shown herself to put effort into making things work.
Bradley Cooper’s feelings on Irina I have no idea about, but I wonder exactly why you would want this out there: B Coop pining for his ex. Is Irina not totally over him, is this truly how BC feels, does Tom want to feel like IS chose him?
So no one is going to comment on how thirsty Tom is in that last picture?😂
I think a lot of people commented on it over the past 6 months since it come out.
I would like to vote that we stop having to see it because MY EYES.
Yes, please! I second you on that.
Maybe Bradley wants some publicity, but I don’t think anyone else is freaking out about Tom and Irina. The gossip columnists are trying, but sometimes celebrities are just famous for their actual jobs and not for the messiness of their private lives.
Dating tom looks like a better funnier time than bcoop
Sorry bradley
Irina is stunning. She’s private. She does her pap walks to promote herself, but she has always been extremely private and doesn’t really spill details on her relationships after breakups. So Tom doesn’t have to worry in that regard. What I did find sweet was the tenderness Tom was showing her while they were in the car.
I side-eyed Irina when she went out with Kanye after Kim dumped him because he has been just out there on every level, very problematic in his behavior and beliefs. Why would someone like Irina, who has her own career and money, stoop to dating out-of-control, Maga-loving, anti-semitic Kanye, even briefly? What was that about?
Jayna: She might be contractually obligated to not spill the details on her relationships if the rumors about her are true.
This sounds like Bradley wanted Irina to be his fallback plan. If all other options fail he expected her to be waiting in the wings. I’m not a Tom Brady fan and I think he is just as selfish and self-centered as Bradley – more actually. But Irina deserves to move on and find someone who wants the same things she does. And Bradley can go date 25 year olds.
A Trump supporter and Putin apologist (for all her pretending the zs were a coincidence, she posed grinning with a flattering book on Putin with his face splashed on the cover).
There were a bunch of jokes on twitter that Tom would “never” date someone like her so of course he’s with Irina (the implication being that both are better than Kim)….which is dumb because for all Kim’s faults she’s a better person than Tom, Irina, and Kanye combined.
Let’s not forget that BCoop hired her to act as his girlfriend and have a child for him. I don’t buy the story his people are planting that he’s jealous.
Ugh, the homophobic beard stuff again! At least people are realizing that the term is gross, but newsflash- pushing the idea is too.
@ Mallory I think Tom Brady, Rinaldo, Kanye and BCoop all hired her and I don’t think any of these men are closeted gay. I just think they hired her for PR purposes.
Aww, young love under the Maga sky. Will these two now openly support the worst just to spite their liberal exes??? I’m grabbing the popcorn.
This. They’re both disgusting, and it’s interesting that people overlook it because one’s beautiful and one’s good at sports.
