America’s most eligible bachelor Tom Brady is in the throes of a steamy new romance with supermodel Irina Shayk following the end of his 13-year marriage to Gisele Bündchen, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The legendary NFL quarterback, 45, was caught gently caressing the 37-year-old Russian bombshell’s face following an overnight rendezvous at his Los Angeles home on Saturday. As he stroked her cheek, she looked at him longingly from the passenger’s side of his Rolls Royce.
An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that Brady picked her up at an LA hotel on Friday afternoon and took her directly to his house. They emerged from his property the following morning around 9.30am and he later dropped Shayk – who was wearing the same clothes from the night before – back at her hotel in his luxury car.
On Saturday afternoon, Brady is understood to have collected her again from her hotel and returned to his house once more.
Meanwhile, a source close to the model confirms to DailyMail.com that the pair are ‘dating’ – although it is understood to be ‘early days’ between the pair.
Since his split from Bündchen, with whom he has two children Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13, the NFL star has been linked to a string of A-list women including Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski.
Rumors about Brady and Shayk – who has a six-year-old daughter Lea with her ex Bradley Cooper – began swirling last month after they both attended billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad’s wedding to Madison Headrick in Sardinia, Italy.

But a source close to Shayk insisted to DailyMail.com at the time: ‘They’re just friends. They have a purely platonic relationship.’
Shayk’s representative also shut down a report that she ‘threw herself’ at Brady while at the wedding.
A report had claimed that the star ‘scarcely let [Brady] out of her sight’. The onlooker insisted that Shayk ‘followed him around all weekend’ and that she was ‘throwing herself at him.’
The insider also alleged that seven-time Super Bowl Champion told a friend he ‘wasn’t interested.’
But a spokesperson for Shayk was quick to hit back at the claims. ‘This story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening,’ Vice President of The Society Management Cheri Bowen insisted in June.
But the pair certainly looked at ease during their time together in LA over the weekend. Shayk was casually dressed in a white tennis outfit and sneakers while Brady kept it casual in an olive T-shirt.
The new romance comes just eight months after Brady’s divorce from Bundchen, 42, became official.
Although Brady and Bündchen’s split had been rumored for some time, the two didn’t announce their divorce until October of last year, and shortly afterward it was revealed that the process had been finalized.
‘We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,’ Brady said in a statement at the time. ‘We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.’

Since the split, Gisele has been spending time with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente although they haven’t officially confirmed their romance.
She is currently in Brazil with her family where she celebrated her 42nd birthday on Thursday.
Meanwhile Shayk shares a daughter named Lea, six, with Bradley Cooper, 48.
She began dating The Hangover actor in 2015 and welcomed Lea, six, two years later before their split in 2019.

In April, Shayk also got candid while talking to Harper’s Bazaar about how motherhood has changed her and boosted her confidence.
The star admitted that she hasn’t always been confident, even as a successful model. ‘It’s just that I’ve learned to love my imperfections. You need to love all of you. My daughter is a big part of why I started to love myself even more.’
‘She’ll say, “I love Daddy so much, I love Mama so much, I love Nana, I love Babulya—” who is my mom. Then she goes, “And I really love myself.” And I’m looking at my daughter and I’m like, “Wow, I wasn’t like that at six year sold.”‘
Shayk further expressed, ‘We’re teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we’re like, “Just remember kindness and love.” So I think that’s what true beauty is.’

While explaining that the world of social media that her daughter is growing up in sometimes ‘scares’ Shayk at times, the importance of ‘teaching our daughter bigger values than being pretty on the outside’ is key.
Irina was previously in a relationship with football star Cristiano Ronaldo from 2010-2015 and she briefly dated troubled rapper Kanye West following his split from Kim Kardashian in 2021.
Meanwhile Brady officially retired from the NFL back in February and has recently bought an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
Although the NFL great is clearly enjoying his retirement, a source told DailyMail.com exclusively that he still itches to get back on the field.
‘Tom misses football, loves playing, and would love nothing more than to compete again on the grandest stage and win another Super Bowl. But as amazing as those thoughts sound, he has made the decision to retire from the NFL once and for all,’ they said.
They added that it was ‘very unlikely and close to impossible,’ that he might come back to an NFL team at this point.
Fans will still see plenty of him on television, though, as he recently signed a $375 million deal with Fox to work as a sports analyst.
The sportsman played 23 seasons in the NFL with both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – winning seven Super Bowl titles and five Super Bowl MVPs.
