Who is tom brady dating now? Tom Brady’s love life has received almost as much analysis as his football career.
After a short fling with Tara Reid, the NFL quarterback started dating actress Bridget Moynahan in 2004. The pair had broken up — and Brady had moved on with Gisele Bündchen — when they welcomed son John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan in 2007.
Brady married Bündchen in 2009, and they had two children: son Benjamin Rein Brady and daughter Vivian Lake Brady. The supermodel was vocally supportive of her husband when he played for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but after Brady unretired from the NFL in March 2022, reports surfaced that the couple had been having issues for months.
Brady and Bündchen announced they were separating shortly before their divorce was finalized in October 2022. Three months later, the superstar quarterback officially retired after 23 seasons in the NFL.
Following his divorce, Brady was falsely linked to Reese Witherspoon — she filed for divorce from husband Jim Toth in April 2023 but has never met Brady — and Kim Kardashian. Rumors first circulated about Brady and Kardashian in March, but representatives for the quarterback denied that there was anything romantic going on.
And though the pair were spotted talking at Michael Rubin’s A-list Fourth of July party, multiple sources told PEOPLE that their interaction was nothing but friendly. Rubin himself addressed the “crazy rumors” during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “Honestly, they’re just friends.”
Just a few weeks later, however, Brady was linked to another potential flame when he was photographed cozying up with model Irina Shayk in his car. A source told PEOPLE that the pair “have been in touch for a few weeks” and that “there is a spark” between the retired NFL player and the Russian model.
From his long-term relationship with Gisele Bündchen to his new summer romance with Irina Shayk, here’s a look at Tom Brady’s dating history.
Tara Reid
The person who graduated from the University of Michigan is said to have had a short romantic involvement with Tara Reid in the year 2002.
The American Pie star hasn’t updated details on their time together, but she did allude to it being brief. When asked about Brady during a 2014 interview on Australia’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show, she replied, “[We] have kissed. He’s pretty good-looking.”
Reid briefly touched on their romance again during a 2022 interview with NBC Sports Boston. “I dated Tom Brady,” she said. “He was a great guy. He’s a really nice guy, a really sweet guy. We had a lot of fun.”
Bridget Moynahan
Brady and Bridget Moynahan were first connected in early 2004. They were publicly seen together after Brady’s team, the New England Patriots, won Super Bowl XXXVIII against the Carolina Panthers. Sports Illustrated mentioned that the actress from Sex and the City was the first to attend the celebration.
Two months after that, they appeared together at the opening of the Ermenegildo Zegna flagship store in New York City. After that, they frequently attended events together, including high-profile red carpet appearances like the premiere of “I, Robot” in 2004, a film featuring Moynahan and Will Smith, the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2005, and the Met Gala in 2006.
“I can be myself around her, and there’s not many people I can be myself around. It’s fun to be around your best friends who know you well, and she’s someone that I consider one of my very best friends,” Brady told 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft in 2005, later deflecting a follow-up question about marriage.
After three years of dating, the couple announced their split in December 2006, with a rep for Moynahan telling PEOPLE they “amicably ended their three-year relationship several weeks ago.” Brady then moved on with Bündchen, but in February 2007, Moynahan announced she was more than three months pregnant with her ex’s child.
Brady talked about when he found out Moynahan was pregnant during a conversation with Howard Stern in 2020. He described it as a special and challenging time that made him mature in a different way.
“It was very hard for [Bündchen] to think she fell in love with this guy, and then now this guy’s ex-girlfriend’s pregnant. And it was very challenging for my son’s mom, you know, because she didn’t envision that either,” he said.
They had a son named Jack Moynahan, born on August 22, 2007. After their son’s birth, they faced a lot of public attention, but in 2019, Moynahan shared with PEOPLE that she and Brady had found a comfortable way of co-parenting.
“Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,” she said. “I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.”
Gisele Bündchen
Brady and Gisele Bündchen were introduced by friends and went on a blind date just before Christmas in 2006. They liked each other right away, and Brady has mentioned that the call from his friend telling him to contact Gisele “changed my life.” They officially became a couple in January 2007.
In a 2015 interview on CBS This Morning, Gisele shared that when she found out Brady’s ex, Bridget Moynahan, was pregnant in February 2007, she had thought about breaking up with Brady.
Despite the challenges, Brady and Gisele stayed together. They attended the 2008 Met Gala, got engaged in January 2009, and then had a small wedding ceremony in Santa Monica, California, in February. They had another ceremony in Costa Rica in April.
Their first child, a son named Benjamin Rein Brady, was born on December 8, 2009. Their daughter, Vivian Lake Brady, was born at home on December 5, 2012.
Rumors about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen getting divorced started in May 2015 after the “Deflategate” incident. However, Brady denied any marriage issues, saying on a radio station, “We’re in a great place.” In a later interview, Brady mentioned that they had seen a marriage counselor during a tough time a few years earlier. Despite challenges, they celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary in February 2022, expressing love and appreciation for each other. However, after Brady briefly announced retirement and then returned to football, sources mentioned they were working through a rough patch in their marriage.
Gisele Bündchen expressed her worries about Tom Brady’s decision to come out of retirement during an interview with Elle in October 2022.
Around the same time, sources told PEOPLE that Bündchen was no longer trying to make her marriage work. The couple officially announced their separation on October 28, and shortly after, it was confirmed that their divorce had been finalized after 13 years of marriage.
Both Bündchen and Brady stated that their priority is their children, and they would work together as parents. Brady, speaking on his SiriusXM show Let’s Go!, described the divorce as amicable and emphasized his focus on taking care of his family. Bündchen echoed similar sentiments in an interview with Vanity Fair, expressing no regrets about their marriage.
Irina Shayk
Following Brady’s divorce from Bündchen, there was much speculation about who the retired NFL player would date next. After several unconfirmed reports of rumored romances, it appears Brady has formed a connection with model Irina Shayk.
Brady and Shayk were first seen together in late July 2023, being comfortable in Brady’s car after spending an evening together. According to Page Six, the former NFL player picked up Shayk from Hotel Bel-Air, and they went back to Brady’s home in Los Angeles on Friday night. The model left the next morning, and Brady picked her up again on Saturday afternoon.
Following the outing, a source told PEOPLE that the duo had spent the weekend together after Brady invited Shayk to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles.”
“They spent the night Friday and Saturday at a house” where Brady is staying, the source explained, adding that “there is an attraction.”
Another insider told PEOPLE that Brady and Shayk first started talking while attending billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad’s wedding to model Madison Headrick in Sardinia, Italy, back in June.
In August 2023, the rumored couple met up in London. They reportedly spent two days “holed up” together in The Twenty Two Hotel.
“He is her dream guy. She loves dating him,” a source told PEOPLE later that same month. “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.”
