Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s steamy new romance shocked the world after they were spotted packing on their PDA after a sleepover at his LA home on Saturday.
The legendary NFL quarterback, 45 – whose divorce from Gisele Bundchen, 43, was finalized in November 2022 – was caught gently stroking the 37-year-old Russian bombshell’s face after a late-night rendezvous – but their personal and professional lives have clearly converged over the years.
Irina was romanced by Bradley Cooper, 48, from 2015 to 2019 and the couple shared daughter Lea, six – with the former couple who are said to have rekindled their romance earlier in the year.
While Brady has two children with ex Gisele – Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, and son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan – the supermodel sparked romance rumors for months with handsome jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Most prominently, Irina’s ex Bradley is good friends with Alias star Jennifer Garner, whose ex-husband Ben Affleck is good friends of Brady’s. While Kim Kardashian – who has been linked to Brady – was known to be married to Kanye West, who moved on with Irina after his split from the reality star.
Irina and Gisele were also both Victoria’s Secret models – although not at the same time – and the pair are said to be more professional acquaintances than friends.
As Irina and Tom begin their romance – looks back on their intertwined lives…

Ex-partners: Brady and Giselle amicably agreed to divorce last October after 13 years of marriage, while Irina’s four-year on-off romance with Bradley Cooper ended in 2019, but their relationship remains amicable
One of the most notable connections between the two is through both Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.

Garner was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and the Oscar-winning actor is best known for his romantic relationship with Brady due to his love of Boston sports.
Earlier this month, Affleck and Brady posed at billionaire Michael Rubin’s star-studded white party on July 4th.
CURRENT FLAME AND EX BOTH VICTORIA’S SECRET SUPERMODELS
What they have in common: Irina and Gisele were also both Victoria’s Secret models – albeit not at the same time – and the pair are said to be professional acquaintances rather than friends (Irina was seen left on the VS catwalk in 2016, Gisele R 2006)
Both Tom’s current girlfriend Irina and ex-Gisele are legendary supermodels who walked the runway for Victoria’s Secret – albeit years apart.
It is said that the two are more of professional acquaintances – whose professional careers have crossed many times over the years – than friends.
KIM AND KANYE CONNECTION
Oh my god: Since his split from Bundchen, the NFL star has been linked to a number of A-list women, including Kim Kardashian

Since his split from Bundchen, the NFL star has been linked to a number of high-profile women, including Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski.
A source told that Kardashian was caught meeting up with newly minted NFL star Brady at the Ruby party and the two were deep in conversation.
“Kim and Tom were super flirty with each other at Rubin’s party and have been spotted together on the beach during the day and dancing at night,” the insider said.
Kim and Tom were first hit by dating rumors earlier this year after multiple outlets reported that Kim was looking to buy a vacation home near Tom’s in the Bahamas.
But the Super Bowl champion’s team denied the romance, insisting they were “just friends.”
“Tom and Kim are in touch because Kim wants to buy a property where Tom has a vacation home,” his reps said in a statement to ET in May.
Wow: Kanye famously rebounded with Irina when his marriage to Kim fell apart in 2021
“Kim and Tom have mutual friends and business partners, but don’t date.”
Kim finalized her divorce from her third ex-husband Kanye West, 45, in November, almost two years after filing for separation.
The former couple, who were married for almost seven years, have four children together: North, ten, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.

Now and then: In March 2022, Irina’s past and future loves crossed paths when Brady posed with the football superstar for a hilarious snap at Manchester United’s stadium, Old Trafford
Irina and soccer GOAT Cristiano Ronaldo were one of the greatest power couples on the planet during their 2010-2015 romance.
In March 2022, Irina’s past and future loves crossed paths when Brady posed with the football superstar for a hilarious snap at Manchester United’s stadium, Old Trafford.
Ronaldo later revealed that Brady had openly discussed his decision to reverse his retirement, saying: “I think he had made the decision a few weeks earlier.” He’s a very smart guy who knows a lot about football, we had a nice chat. However, I don’t think that has anything to do with it.’
NOT FOR BRADY IN THE SUPERBOWL
Not a fan: In 2018, Irina and then-boyfriend Bradley Cooper cheered on Brady’s opponents, the Philadelphia Eagles, at Super Bowl LII when they faced the New England Patriots

During a previous interview with Elle, Irina opened up about raising Lea with her ex, Bradley, even though the two were no longer a couple. “I never understood the term co-parenting.”
“When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mom, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad.”
In April, Shayk also opened up when she spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about how motherhood has transformed her and boosted her confidence.
The star admitted that even as a successful model, she wasn’t always confident. “I just learned to love my imperfections.” You all have to love each other. “My daughter was instrumental in helping me start loving myself even more.”
Flirtatious: Viewers say Brady picked them up at an LA hotel on Friday afternoon and took them straight to his house. They left his property around 9:30 a.m. the next morning

“She will say, ‘I love papa so much, I love mom so much, I love Nana, I love Babulya —’ who is my mother. Then she says, “And I really love me.” And I look at my daughter and I’m like, “Wow, I wasn’t like that when I was six.”
Shayk further explained, “We teach our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people.” Every time we send her to school, we say, “Just remember kindness and love.” I think that’s true beauty.”
While she explains that the social media world her daughter is growing up in “scares Shayk at times,” teaching “our daughter about greater values than being physically pretty is crucial.”
Meanwhile, Brady officially retired from the NFL in February and recently acquired an interest in the Las Vegas Raiders.
