Tom Brady and supermodel Irina Shayk are dating, and things are moving quite fast. Kim Kardashian had her eyes set on the retired NFL star.
However, Shayk seems to have won the race for one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, less than one year after his divorce from Brazilian modeling icon Gisele Bündchen.
How did Tom Brady meet Irina Shayk?
The 45-year-old football legend met the Russian beauty, 37, at the wedding of art dealer Joseph Nahmad, 33, and Madison Headrick, 29, in May.
Many familiar faces from the entertainment industry were present in Sardinia for the big day. The 13-million-dollar wedding counted Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Middleton, and Serena Williams on the guest list.
According to an insider, Shayk made the first move, and while Brady did his best to remain cool, there was a little spark between them. Brady and Shayk kept the conversation going after the ceremony.
Interestingly, other models also tried their luck that day, but Shayk showed more grit. Things are now heating up between the pair because they spent the entire weekend together, according to TMZ.
Gisele Bündchen is not happy about Brady dating Shayk
At first, representatives for the two personalities denied that something had happened between them at the wedding. However, it appears that the denials were not fully honest.
The new couple was caught sharing a light PDA in his car over the weekend. Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, is not happy about the whole thing.
While she never took the Kardashian rumors seriously, it seems that Bündchen knows that the connection with Shayk might be more serious than a little fling.
According to a source close to the Brazilian stunner, she went through different emotions after finding out about the romance. It started with anger because the relationship means that things are really over with her ex-husband.
However, she is now in a better place. Bündchen came to the conclusion that it is a good thing that he is moving forward. This will make it easier for her to do the same.
Brady has been linked to actress and producer Reese Witherspoon and Kardashian since the divorce. Shayk has a child with actor Bradley Cooper, but they have not been really together as a couple in years.
Despite not being romantically linked to the Russian model, Mr. Cooper is not thrilled about the burgeoning romance. Shayk’s ex-partner is said to be “bothered” by her relationship with Brady.
Bradley Cooper fears Tom Brady romance with Irina Shayk
The filmmaker is also living in fear that Brady is the man who might capture Shayk’s heart and steal her from him for good.
A person familiar with the situation who spoke to the Daily Mail revealed that while he was able to ignore her other flings, he feels very “conflicted” about her latest love interest.
The influencer and the Hangover star revealed they were an item in 2015. In 2017, they welcomed Lea into the world.
However, in late 2018 and early 2019, rumors began swirling that there was trouble in paradise for Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper.
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper had a close bond while filming and promoting the Oscar-nominated movie A Star Is Born in 2019.
In June 2019, the power couple split, blaming it on the fact that they were “living totally separate lives due to their busy schedules.”
In 2022, it seemed that they had rekindled their love after attending a sexy Halloween event and enjoying a tropical vacation together.
However, it appears the reconciliation was short-lived. The source had the following to say about Cooper’s feelings about the situation: “To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie”
Cooper thinks it is serious
The person shares: “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.”
Bradley Cooper is torn by the romance because he has “dated other women since their breakup.” He is realistic and knows that Brady is ready to do what he was not able to do — marry Shayk.
The source says: “Tom is very capable of being a devoted husband and parent and husband. This is what gets to Bradley.”
The model also briefly dated Kanye West.
