Tom Brady and Irina Shayk are reportedly perfect for each other, according to a friend close to the pair, as they reignite their flame from the early stages of 2023.

Both are single after separating from their ex-partners, Gisele Bundchen and Bradley Cooper, and previously linked up before the former-NFL quarterback reportedly decided to focus on his business ventures instead of romance.

The decision may have also been prompted by the recency of his own divorce, which was finalized in October 2022, whilst the first rumors of Shayk and Brady dating emerged in July 2023 but Brady now seems ready to give it a second go.

“They both had a lot of baggage to unpack before they could commit to each other,” a friend said to RadarOnline.com. “But now they realize they’re a perfect match.

“People around them are saying they’re already making big plans for their long future together.”

Why did Shayk and Brady halt things?
As aforementioned, one of the reasons for the conclusion of the Russian model and ex-New England Patriot’s romance was Brady’s decision to focus on his entrepreneur lifestyle as he navigated the fall out of his own separation.

But a second source painted a different picture entirely. The source claims that Brady stepped away once Shayk’s ex, and father of her child, Cooper, rushed back to the scene upon discovering his ex-wife’s budding romance.

“Bradley came storming back on the scene,” an insider told the National Enquirer. “After he saw photos of Tom and Irina getting way too up-close and personal for his tastes.

“Tom didn’t want any part of breaking up a relationship because he was still smarting after losing his wife, Gisele Bundchen.”

However it appears that they didn’t slow down, despite the “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor appearing back in the picture as, despite going on vacation with Cooper and their daughter in August, Shayk was then spotted at Brady’s apartment in New York City after Fashion Week in September.
