Nine months after his divorce from Gisele Bündchen, former NFL star Tom Brady reportedly moved on with another famous supermodel.

Reports swirled in July 2023 that Irina Shayk and the seven-time Super Bowl champ were an item as multiple media outlets claimed the two are dating. Here’s more about the pair including their age difference and how Brady’s ex-wife feels about the reported romance.

Brady and Shayk’s age difference

According to People, Brady and Shayk started talking at the wedding of Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick in Italy, which they both attended back in June. A source told the publication they’ve “been in touch for a few weeks.” Brady then decided to invite Shayk to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles” where they spent the weekend together at his house.

The runway model was born Irina Valeryevna Shaykhlislamova in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, on Jan. 6, 1986.

The retired quarterback was born in San Mateo, California, on Aug. 3, 1977, making him eight years and five months older than his girlfriend.

Is Gisele Bündchen unhappy about her ex’s relationship with Shayk?

Since this is the first anyone heard about Brady moving on after his 13-year marriage with Bündchen ended, some are wondering how his ex-wife feels about his romance with another model.

An insider told TMZ that Bündchen’s “not happy at all” with the pairing. However, her rep later reached out and told the outlet that’s not the case as she is actually thrilled he is moving on as that helps her heal too.

The statement from the rep read: “Why wouldn’t she be happy for Tom? She divorced him. It is helpful to her freedom that he moved on.”

Like Brady, Shayk has some very famous exes as well.

Before the NFL GOAT, she was in a relationship with another great footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Shayk and the athlete were together from 2010 to 2014. She reportedly dated musicians Kanye West and Linkin Park’s Rob Bourdon too.

The supermodel also has a daughter, Lea De Seine, with actor Bradley Cooper. They ended their relationship in 2019.
