Tom Brady Is Reportedly Not Looking for a Gisele Bündchen Replacement Amid Dating Rumors

It sounds like everyone got a little too excited about Tom Brady’s dating life because sources close to the retired football player are already squashing the rumors. Just as quickly as he was linked to model Brooks Nader, his pals are saying that the age-gap romance isn’t happening — like at all.

It seemed like Nader was exactly Brady’s type as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, and people were claiming that she was a replacement for his ex-wife , Gisele Bündchen (we don’t love this narrative at all). The rumor was started on the unverified gossip podcast, Deux U, which claimed that Brady and Nader were spotted together more than once, including at Michael Rubin’s annual Fourth of July white party.

Brady was even being called the next Leonardo DiCaprio of the dating world because, at 46, he’s almost 20 years older than Nader, who is 27. But TMZ Sports is here to clear up the confusion with the sources confirming that he’s single, has never been out with Nader, and doesn’t even have her digits to text her. When the insiders say he’s single, they mean really, really single. They also noted that Brady is not dating Brazilian social media personality, Isabella Settanni, either.

The rumors weren’t entirely off base though. Fans know that Brady has a thing for models after his 13-year marriage to Bündchen. After his divorce, he followed up with a brief romance with supermodel Irina Shayk, so moving on to Nader or Settanni wouldn’t be outside his dating norm. His current priority seems to be his three children, Jack, 16, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, his children with Bündchen.

While his supermodel ex indicated she was done with Brady putting football ahead of her and cryptically reminding him that she had “ done [her] part, ” Brady seems a little lost without Bündchen. ‘”Tom would actually agree that co-parenting hasn’t been easy,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “There has been a lot of love lost in their relationship and navigating through that and their careers and finding new love has not been easy. It is safe to say that Tom and Gisele never expected to break up.”

Perhaps Brady should just lean into a fun single-guy summer instead.
