Kim Kardashian Jokes About Tom Brady Dating Rumors at Football Star’s Roast

Kim Kardashian finally addressed those Tom Brady romance rumors while speaking at the football star’s roast Sunday night.

The Skims founder joined stars including Kevin Hart, Ben Affleck, and Nikki Glaser, among others, at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady as part of the Netflix Is a Joke Festival at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

While onstage, Kardashian joked about the rumors that she and the retired NFL quarterback had dated. The claims circled shortly after Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen in late 2022.

“I’m really here tonight for Tom,” Kardashian began. “I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might.”

“Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not. I’d just release the tape,” she added, referencing the 2007 sex tape scandal which, in a way, launched Kardashian into the spotlight.

“I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheekbones, silky hair—you remind me too much of my stepdad now,” Kardashian said, referencing mom Kris Jenner’s former spouse, Olympian Caitlyn Jenner, who transitioned from male to female in 2015. “Part of me thinks you would want to undress me, just to try on my clothes.”

“Honestly, it’s hard for me to watch people roast you, but I think enough of my family members have helped defend former football players,” Kardashian joked, referring to her late father Robert Kardashian’s time as O.J. Simpson’s attorney during that NFL star’s infamous 1994 murder trial.

Brady was a good sport through the entire roast, and once Kardashian left the stage, he got some zings in, too. “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight,” he said. “Not because of this, but because her kids are at home with their dad.”
