Tom Brady Can't Escape Relationship Rumors Since Gisele Bündchen Divorce
Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady is officially back in the game ... well, sort of. In March 2026, the seven-time Super Bowl winner took a half-step out of retirement to compete in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. But enough about a football game — because what some fans really want to know is if Brady is back in the dating game following his retirement, er, divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022. And while Tom Brady rarely makes comments about the end of his marriage, and reports suggest that putting himself back out there isn't super high on his priorities list, that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning.
For a time, there were murmurs that Brady might be linked to Kim Kardashian — and Kardashian herself certainly didn't help matters during an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in October 2025, when she declined to confirm or deny anything. More recently, there's been speculation regarding Brady and social media star Alix Earle, with a source telling People in February 2026 that the two had a bit of a fling going on. Things ramped up in March, when Brady and Earle were both spotted attending a high-profile party in Las Vegas. However, a source later claimed to Page Six that the two celebrities never actually saw each other that night. "... Tom actually left before Alix got there," the alleged insider said, adding, "She arrived very late. There was no overlap [between Earle and Brady] at the party." At any rate, the rumors regarding Brady's post-divorce love life don't stop there.
Reports claim Tom Brady is much better at football than dating
The ink had barely dried on reports of Tom Brady's non-encounter with Alix Earle in Las Vegas before a brand-new dating rumor emerged. Just two days after the aforementioned article in March 2026, Page Six published another report citing sources that claimed they had seen Brady leaving a different party with Yael Cohen Braun, ex-wife of music mogul Scooter Braun, after the two had spent all night chewing the fat. However, a separate source speaking to the Daily Mail just a few days later cast doubt on the idea that Brady and Braun were anything more than just friends.
"Tom isn't dating anyone specifically," the alleged insider said, adding, "He's not really looking for that. Dating isn't something ever on his mind." The source then revealed another interesting tidbit, claiming that Brady's skills as a quarterback don't necessarily translate to the world of romance. "He's kind of awkward when it comes to dating. Surprisingly, he doesn't really have great game. Usually it's a woman making the first move with him, which would surprise a lot of people. He lets them take the lead a lot of the time," they said.
This echoes a separate report published by RadarOnline in June 2025, which similarly claimed that Brady's off-the-field game was lacking, and that he was still hung up on ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. A source told the publication at the time that while many women had been admiring Brady from afar, those who actually tried to shoot their shot with the five-time Super Bowl MVP were left disappointed. "Word's getting around that Tom's a whiny, flaky man diva and not much fun to be around. He whines about his ex and it just puts off any potential partners," they said.
