Tom Brady, the legendary 46-year-old former NFL quarterback, and Brooks Nader, a 27-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model, have reportedly been spending time together. Rumors about their relationship surfaced recently, with sources claiming that the two have been meeting up in various cities over the summer. But how much of this is true, and what’s really going on?

Summer Encounters and Speculations

According to insider reports shared with PEOPLE, Brady and Nader’s connection is described as informal. They’ve allegedly met up and “hooked up” in different cities throughout the summer. While their relationship appears casual, the contrast in their lifestyles has also been noted. Nader is described as someone who loves to party and keeps a busy social calendar, whereas Brady prefers to spend time with his children and is not a fan of nightlife.

Despite these claims, the nature of their relationship is disputed by multiple sources. Some have dismissed the rumors as exaggerated, while others believe there might be some truth to the speculation. For now, their connection remains unconfirmed.

Family Life and Commitments

Tom Brady has three children. His oldest, John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 16, is from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. He also shares two children with his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen: Benjamin Rein, 14, and Vivian Lake, 11.

Brady has often been seen prioritizing his family, spending quality time with his kids, especially since his divorce from Bündchen. This dedication to his children adds another layer of complexity to the rumors about his social life and potential relationships.

The Deuxmoi Podcast and Public Sightings

The speculation about Brady and Nader gained traction after Barstool Sports highlighted a Deux U by Deuxmoi podcast episode. The episode alleged that the two were seen together in public on multiple occasions. One notable sighting was at Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons, where both Brady and Nader were reportedly guests.

While these appearances have fueled rumors, they have not been accompanied by definitive evidence of a romantic relationship.

Brooks Nader’s Personal Life

Nader’s personal life has also been in the spotlight. In December 2019, she married Billy Haire. However, by May 2023, a representative for Nader confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple was separating after living apart for several months.

“The separation is friendly,” her representative stated. An insider added, “She’s at the peak of her career and has a busy lifestyle. Every relationship has challenges, and while some can be worked through, others cannot. They’re both wonderful individuals who decided to part ways amicably.”

Nader’s separation hasn’t slowed her down professionally or socially. She was spotted attending Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo’s wedding in Rhode Island on June 29, alongside Prince Constantine Alexios of Denmark and Greece. At the event, Nader and Constantine were seen holding hands and wearing coordinated navy blue outfits. Constantine, a godson of Prince William, is the eldest son of Crown Prince Pavlos and Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece.

Brady’s Past Relationship Rumors

Brady’s love life has also been a topic of public interest since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. In 2023, rumors linked him to Reese Witherspoon, who had recently filed for divorce from Jim Toth. However, representatives for both Brady and Witherspoon denied these claims, labeling them as false.

Additionally, there were reports suggesting a romantic connection between Brady and Kim Kardashian. However, Brady’s agent quickly shut down these rumors. Another high-profile connection was with model Irina Shayk. The two were photographed together in Brady’s car after spending an evening together in late July 2023. Despite the initial buzz, their relationship reportedly “fizzled out” by October 2023. Interestingly, they were seen reconnecting in Miami just two months later, reigniting speculation about their status.

What’s Next for Brady and Nader?

While the rumors about Tom Brady and Brooks Nader continue to swirl, neither party has confirmed or denied their connection. With Brady focusing on his children and Nader immersed in her thriving career, it’s unclear if their paths will cross more frequently in the future or if these rumors will fade away.

For now, the reports remain speculative, leaving fans and the media guessing about the truth behind their alleged relationship. As both individuals continue to lead dynamic and high-profile lives, their actions will undoubtedly remain in the spotlight.
