Tom Brady and Irina Shayk romance timeline as celebrity duo pictured reconnecting

NFL superstar Tom Brady and long-rumored love interest Irina Shayk were spotted in Miami, Florida, on Friday. Brady was pictured picking up Shayk in his car, fueling rumors that the pair are dating after they were alleged to be just friends.

Brady was spotted in the driver's seat of a car at a gas station while Shayk was seen standing outside the vehicle. When contacted for comments on their potential romance, representatives from both teams have yet to respond, according to People.

Last August, Brady was spotted on his Miami balcony when Shayk was vacationing with her ex, Bradley Cooper. Despite whispers of a romance between Brady and Shayk, the seven-time Super Bowl winner appeared unbothered by her close relationship with the Hollywood star, who is also the father of Shayk's children.

Shayk and Cooper share a daughter, who was born in 2017. The couple dated for four years, from 2015, before parting ways. Reports suggest that despite their split, they continue co-parenting their young daughter, Lea.

Brady, the former NFL star, finalized his divorce from Victoria's Secret supermodel Gisele Bundchen in October 2022. The split came after Gisele expressed worries about Brady's lack of time for her and their family due to his NFL commitments.

Brady is said to respect Shayk's co-parenting arrangement with Cooper, finding it "attractive," according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail. The insider revealed: "Tom thinks it is great that Irina has a co-parenting relationship with Bradley because Tom has his co-parenting relationships with Gisele and Bridget, so he is not jealous one bit when Irina hangs out with Bradley and their child."

The source added: "Tom actually loves seeing it because Tom is such a family man. He knows what Irina is going through and respects her even more, being a mother and dealing with all of that because it is not easy. It is actually attractive to Tom to see how strong of a woman and wonderful mom she is; he respects it."

The romance between the NFL legend and the Russian model heated up in July when they were spotted together in his Rolls Royce, heading to his Los Angeles home. Onlookers claimed that Brady repeated this gesture the next day, with Shayk still in her outfit from the previous night.

Shayk's fascination with Brady allegedly started at the wedding of billionaire art dealer Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in June last summer. According to media reports, despite Brady showing no interest, Shayk seemed quite taken with him.

Page Six reported that a source claimed Shayk constantly sought Brady's attention at the event. It was further alleged that Irina made 'a beeline' for the newly single retired Patriots quarterback and 'scarcely let him out of her sight.

"She followed him around all weekend," said an event insider. "She was throwing herself at him."

The Russian supermodel has a history of dating high-profile celebrities, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Arthur Sales, Rob Bourdon, Kanye West, and Ryan Leslie. The latest pictures of her reconnecting with Brady will see more attention on their relationship.
