Who is Tom Brady dating? His relationship timeline with girlfriend Irina Shayk
Since his split from his wife of 16 years, much has been made about the NFL legend’s new relationship with Irina Shayk. Here’s everything we know.
Though details continue to emerge about the how and why behind their decision to divorce, what remains clear is that both Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have moved on with their lives since their separation in October of 2022. Where the former Gridiron great is concerned, it appears he’s stuck with what he knows such that he is once again involved with another supermodel.
The timeline of Tom Brady & Irina Shayk’s relationship
By all accounts, the pair first met in June 2023 at the wedding of a mutual friend on the Italian island of Sardinia. “There is a spark,” one source said at the time before adding that the seven-time Super Bowl winner had invited the model to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles.” What came next were highly publicized photos of the two being intimate with each other, after which “They spent the Friday and Saturday at a house” where Brady was staying at the time. Then, just one month later it was ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that gave us the first official report indicating that “the two have been talking for about a month and have enjoyed their time together, but it’s not too serious.”
With that said, other reports also indicated that the now-retired NFL star saw the potential for a serious partner in Shayk. “Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about,” the report said. “She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work. He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids. He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well.”
From there we were given a number of snippets i.e., various sightings of Brady and Shayk including one in London in August of 2023. At the time, they were photographed leaving the same five-star hotel just minutes apart, with sources explaining at the time that the two were “holed up” together. The speculation about their relationship was further intensified when sources close to Shayk disclosed that “She’s impressed with Tom”, before adding that “He is her dream guy. She loves dating him. They work around their schedules and meet up wherever they can. Irina doesn’t mind traveling to see him. She is very excited about their relationship.”
That’s where the plot twist came. In October 2023, reports turned heads with news that the would-be couple had split. Interestingly, there was no reported drama but rather the relationship simply “fizzled out” according to sources. This of course brings us to January 2024, when Brady and Shayk were seen enjoying an intimate dinner in New York at the popular Brassier Fouquet’s in Lower Manhattan. To that end, we can’t say that they are going to go the distance, but what we can assume is that the pair are rekindling their romance.
