Tom Brady’s got it bad for Irina Shayk!
After the former New England Patriots quarterback and the Russian supermodel shocked the world Monday morning with their whirlwind romance, we’ve all been left wondering if this is a real deal kinda thing, or just another fling… And Tom’s got answers!

To add a bit of context for their relationship timeline, the pair first met back in May at the wedding of billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in Sardinia, Italy, where word was Shayk made “a beeline” for the famous athlete and apparently “followed him around all weekend” — even though he apparently “wasn’t interested.” At the time, her reps blasted the chatter, calling it “totally malicious and fictional,” but obviously there WAS some sort of spark, because here we are.
Monday morning, TMZ broke the news that the two had spent a steamy weekend together, which began with Tom picking up the 37-year-old from the Hotel Bel-Air Friday afternoon, and returning her the following morning! Later that evening, the pair repeated the festivities, with the 45-year-old picking her up yet again. Check out some paparazzi pics obtained by multiple outlets (below):
Now, we’re hearing more about how things went down, and what the future potentially holds for the new couple.
An insider dished to People Monday that Tom and Irina “have been in touch for a few weeks,” and that the legendary NFL player invited her to “fly out and meet up in Los Angeles,” where we know exactly what happened. The source shared, “They spent the night Friday and Saturday at a house” Brady was staying at, and although they “have never been involved romantically” before meeting at the Sardinian wedding, “there is an attraction.”
Ooh la la!
So obviously that report that Tom “wasn’t interested” was not true at all!
Another source told DailyMail.com Monday that when it comes to building a potential relationship with Bradley Cooper’s ex, the father of three is ready to bet it all:
“Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about. She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work.”
DAMN!
Boy’s got major heart eyes for Irina! And he’s clearly got a type… Supermodels! Good thing they like him too! Ha!

The source added:
“He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids. He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well.”
Sorry Kim Kardashian! (Hey, remember when Kanye West was dating Irina? Hmm..)
Another insider echoed what we already heard, telling the outlet:
“They’re dating and having fun. It was Tom who invited Irina to his home in LA after they really clicked in May. They’ve been in touch ever since then, trying to line up schedules to meet. They have a lot of chemistry. They’re excited to see where it goes but it’s still early days.”
It sounds like Tom and Irina are in a major love bubble right now… The question is, will it continue to grow into a future like Tom wants, or will it pop?
