Few celebrity figures have been able to enthrall audiences like former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Unsurprisingly, Brady has made numerous media headlines about his career and personal life. But no headline sent more shock waves than his divorce from Brazilian supermodel Giselle Bündchen. Shortly after the commotion died down from their split, the media and fans speculated on who Tom Brady would date next. That lucky woman seemed to be Russian model Irina Shayk.
It's long been evident that Tom Brady prefers the romantic company of high-profile women, as Bündchen and Shayk are not the only women he's dated. For instance, Brady shares a son with actress Bridget Moynahan. As for Brady's alleged girlfriend, Irina Shayk, the model once dated actor Bradley Cooper, with whom they share a daughter, Lea De Sein. Now that Shayk and Brady have been rumored to hook up together, how does the latter feel about Shayk's steamy vacation with her ex Cooper?
What Happened In Tom Brady's And Irina Shayk's Failed Relationships With Giselle Bündchen And Bradley Cooper?
Tom Brady and Giselle Bündchen were once one of the most prominent A-list couples in the world.
Mutual friends had set Brady and Bündchen up, and they began to date around Christmas of 2006. They married nearly two years later in a close-knit ceremony at a Santa Monica, California church.
The couple went on to welcome two children, son Benjamin and daughter Vivian. At one point, Brady and Bündchen's lives seemed perfect: successful careers, massive popularity, adorable children, and huge estates across the United States. Unfortunately, their relationship didn't last, and Brady and Bündchen ultimately called it quits on their 13-year marriage.
According to Vanity Fair, Giselle Bündchen said about her divorce from Tom Brady:
"It's tough because you imagine your life will be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?"
After their breakup, it was rumored that Bündchen felt confined in her marriage to Brady. Other reports surfaced that one of the reasons she divorced him was because he had decided to return to the NFL.
Bündchen later confirmed that she did feel stifled in her decades-plus marriage to Brady. However, she denied the NFL rumors in the same interview with Vanity Fair:
"What's been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle. It's not so black and white. I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever. If there's one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it's him, believe me. I want all his dreams to come true."
Since Tom Brady's divorce, he has been seen with former Sports Illustrated supermodel Irina Shayk. Much like Brady, Shayk has had her share of high-profile relationships and breakups over the years. One of her most serious relationships was with actor Bradley Cooper. Various sources close to the stars stated that there was an instant and undeniable chemistry when the two first met.
Several months after Shayk and Cooper started dating, they moved in together and welcomed their first child. News would eventually surface that the model and actor had gone their separate ways.
According to The Hits, a source close to Irina Shayk revealed the reason for the couple's shocking split:
"Irina truly had high hopes for their future together and felt once the baby was born they would find the time to marry, but that never came to fruition. She wanted more from Bradley in every way. But she was unhappy and felt he spent too much time working. Irina decided enough is enough. She didn't feel she was getting the level of commitment she wanted, and the endless fighting made their life unbearable. They are very different people and once they realized it was the baby that was holding them together, it was time to call it quits."
Although Shayk and Bradley had a painful breakup, they remained close friends and co-parents to their daughter, Lea De Sein.
When Did Tom Brady And Irina Shayk Start Dating?
Like nearly every celebrity relationship, the romance between Tom Brady and Irina Shayk began as a rumor. The two reportedly met at a mutual friend's wedding in Italy and hadn't stopped communicating with each other since. Several months after their initial encounter, Brady and Shayk were spotted and photographed together in various places including at a five-star hotel in London and leaving one of Brady's many residences.
In an article by Harper's Bazaar about Tom Brady and Shayk's rumored romance, a source close to Brady stated the footballer had this to say about 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. 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.”
Harper's Bazaar wrote that a source close to the Russian model said that Shayk "loves dating Brady".
How Did Tom Brady Respond To Irina Shyrk's Vacation Getaway With Ex-Boyfriend Bradley Cooper?
Irina Shyrk and Bradley Cooper remained close since their split, and since they share a child, it would seem inevitable that they would meet often. Nevertheless, fans of the superstars found it strange that Shyrk and Bradley chose to go on vacation together, during which the model shared pictures of herself with Bradley in a close embrace.
As it turned out, the two exes flew to Italy during the summer with their daughter and a handful of close friends, but Shyrk's rumored boyfriend Tom Brady, did not accompany them. Brady was pictured out and about in Florida during Irina's Italian getaway with Cooper, and he appeared to be unconcerned about Irina Shyrk spending time with Cooper.
A source close to Tom Brady informed several media outlets:
"Tom has no idea if Irina is still seeing Bradley, but it’s really none of his business. Tom and Irina aren’t in a committed relationship, so she’s free to see anybody she likes.”
