Tom Brady and Irina Shayk‘s hot new romance has shocked the world after they were seen packing on the PDA after a sleepover at his home in LA on Saturday.
The legendary NFL quarterback, 45 – whose divorce from Gisele Bundchen, 43, was completed in November 2022 – was caught gently caressing the 37-year-old Russian bombshell’s face following an overnight rendezvous at his Los Angeles home – but their personal and professional lives have notably converged over the years.
Irina was in a romance with Bradley Cooper, 48, from 2015 to 2019 with the pair sharing daughter Lea, six – with the former couple said to have reignited their romance earlier this year.
While Brady shares two children with ex Gisele – Benjamin, 13 and Vivian, 10, as well as son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan – with the supermodel sparking romance rumors for months with hunky jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Most prominently, Irina’s ex Bradley is good friends with Alias star Jennifer Garner, whose ex husband Ben Affleck is good pals with Brady. While Kim Kardashian – who has been linked to Brady – was famously married to Kanye West, who moved on with Irina in the wake of his split from the reality star.
Irina and Gisele were also both Victoria’s Secret models – though not at the same time – and the pair are said to be professional acquaintances, rather than friends.

Both Tom’s current flame Irina and ex Gisele are iconic supermodels who have graced the runway for Victoria’s Secret – albeit years apart.
The pair are said to be professional acquaintances – who have crossed paths in their line of work many times over the years – rather than friends.
KIM AND KANYE CONNECTION
Oh my: Since his split from Bündchen the NFL star has been linked to a string of A-list women including Kim Kardashian
On the market: Kim finalized her divorce from third ex-husband Kanye West, 45, in November 2022, nearly two years after she filed for separation; seen in 2018
Since his split from Bündchen the NFL star has been linked to a string of A-list women including Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski.
A source told DailyMail.com that Kardashian was caught mingling with newly-single NFL star Brady at the Rubin party and the pair were snapped deep in conversation.
‘Kim and Tom were super flirty with each other at Rubin’s party and were seen during the day on the beach together and again dancing at night,’ the insider dished.
At the same party it was claimed that Irina had made ‘a beeline’ for the recently single former New England Patriots quarterback and ‘scarcely let him out of her sight’ according to a source for Page Six.
The insider said: ‘She followed him around all weekend. She was throwing herself at him’ – claims which Shayk later denied.
It was also claimed that seven-time Super Bowl Champion told a friend he ‘wasn’t interested.’
Wow: Kanye famously rebounded with Irina when his marriage to Kim imploded in 2021
Kim and Tom were first hit with dating rumors earlier this year after several outlets reported that Kim was seeking to purchase a holiday home near Tom’s in the Bahamas.
But the Super Bowl champion’s team denied the romance and insisted they are ‘just friends.’
‘Tom and Kim have been in touch because Kim is looking to buy property where Tom has a vacation home,’ his reps said in a statement to ET in May.
‘Kim and Tom have friends and business partners in common, but they are not dating.’
Kim finalized her divorce from third ex-husband Kanye West, 45, in November, nearly two years after she filed for separation.
The former pair — who were married for nearly seven years — share four children: North, 10, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.
Kanye famously rebounded with Irina when his marriage to Kim imploded in 2021.

Irina and football GOAT Cristiano Ronaldo were one of the world’s huge power couples during their romance from 2010-2015.
Back in March 2022, Irina’s past and future loves would cross paths, as Brady posed up with the football superstar for a fun snap at Manchester United’s stadium, Old Trafford.
Ronaldo would later reveal Brady had candidly discussed his decision to reverse his retirement, saying: ‘I think he had taken the decision a few weeks before that. He’s a very smart guy who knows a lot about football (soccer), we had a nice conversation. I don’t think that had anything to do with it, though.’
NOT ROOTING FOR BRADY AT THE SUPERBOWL
Not a fan: Back in 2018, Irina and then beau Bradley Cooper rooted for Brady’s opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LII when they took on the New England Patriots

During a past interview with Elle, Irina discussed raising Lea with her ex, Bradley, although the two were no longer a couple. ‘I never understood the term co-parenting.’
‘When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting,’ and also gushed that Cooper is ‘the most amazing dad.’
In April, Shayk also got candid while talking to Harper’s Bazaar about how motherhood has changed her and boosted her confidence.
The star admitted that she hasn’t always been confident, even as a successful model. ‘It’s just that I’ve learned to love my imperfections. You need to love all of you. My daughter is a big part of why I started to love myself even more.’
Flirty: Onlookers say Brady picked her up at an LA hotel on Friday afternoon and took her directly to his house. They emerged from his property the following morning around 9.30am
New romance? Gisele has been repeatedly linked to her hunky jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente
‘She’ll say, “I love Daddy so much, I love Mama so much, I love Nana, I love Babulya—” who is my mom. Then she goes, “And I really love myself.” And I’m looking at my daughter and I’m like, “Wow, I wasn’t like that at six year sold.”‘
Shayk further expressed, ‘We’re teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we’re like, “Just remember kindness and love.” So I think that’s what true beauty is.’
While explaining that the world of social media that her daughter is growing up in sometimes ‘scares’ Shayk at times, the importance of ‘teaching our daughter bigger values than being pretty on the outside’ is key.
Meanwhile Brady officially retired from the NFL back in February and has recently bought an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
