Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s brief romance seems to be back on the table after “fizzling.”
The NFL superstar and model were first linked in July 2023, but by October 2023, they seemed to have called it quits.
“In the end, it kind of just fizzled,” a source told PEOPLE at the time.
Neither party publicly confirmed their relationship, but in December 2023 they were spotted together again getting ready for a night out in Miami.
Their connection followed Brady’s 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen, with whom he shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian. The former quarterback is also dad to his son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan.
As for Shayk, she was in a long-term relationship with actor Bradley Cooper before dating Brady. The pair split in 2019 — two years after welcoming their daughter, Lea, in March 2017.
From their first sighting to vacationing together, here’s a complete timeline of Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s relationship.
