When former NFL player Tom Brady and Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen divorced in October 2022, after 13 years of marriage, it wasn't long before Tom started being called “the world’s most eligible bachelor.” There was speculation left and right about who the seven-time Super Bowl champ would hook up with next. Bets were even made. Well, it now seems that anyone who guessed Tom would link up romantically with another model was right because he’s been spotted getting cozy and even spending the night with Irina Shayk.

The Russian model caught the attention of international audiences when she graced the cover of the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She’s also had some high-profile romantic relationships in the past that got a lot of press. Currently, she appears to be getting to know Tom Brady quite well. Here’s what we know about Tom and Irina’s relationship so far.
They are said to have met at a wedding.
TMZ reports that “they met in June at the wedding of billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in Sardinia.” Apparently, according to a source, "A number of models were hitting on Tom, and Irina was one of them."
Supposedly, Irina made ‘a beeline’ for Tom at the wedding.
Loose lips told Page Six that not only did Irina make “a beeline” for Tom at the wedding they were both guests at, but that she “threw herself” at him. Irina’s reps deny those claims and I’m inclined to believe them because these comments are so dang sexist.
Just sayin' there is nothing wrong with a confident single woman approaching a single man.
If Tom had been observed making his way to any woman at that wedding and paying extended attention to her, do you think anyone would have said he threw himself at her? No! They would say something along the lines of “he was smitten by her charms and lavished her with attention.”
Apparently, Tom did not mind Irina’s attention at the wedding one bit.
He liked her attention enough to want more of it because Tom was spotted and photographed picking Irina up from Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles on Friday, July 21. He then promptly drove her over to his home where she spent the night. At around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Tom drove her back to the hotel, only to pick her up again later that afternoon. He was then seen caressing her face—or should I say “throwing himself at her”—while they were in the car together.
They have both been linked to high-profile stars in the past.
Before Tom was with Gisele, with whom he shares two kids, he dated actor Bridget Moynahan and shares a child with her. As for Irina, she dated soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo for about five years. Then she dated actor Bradley Cooper for about four years and they share a daughter. She also briefly dated Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shortly after he and Kim Kardashian split.
