Quick update on Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s whole thing: They’re still going strong! And—according to Page Six—Irina is kinda taking some drastic steps to protect the relationship.
The outlet reports that Irina is cutting ties with some of her more “loose lipped” friends to “prevent leaks,” with a source saying “she’s afraid any weird rumors might scare him off.” The insider adds that Irina “really wants this to work” and that “Brady is her white whale. He’s an all-American nice guy.”
Oookay!
As a reminder, Tom and Irina connected back in May when they both attended the wedding of “billionaire art heir” Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick in Italy. Irina’s vibes at the time of the wedding, incoming:
Per TMZ, “A number of models were hitting on Tom, and Irina was one of them,” which, for the record, is something her rep denies. Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight reported that they “hit it off” at the wedding and were “talking for about a month” before they decided to spend some ~quality time~ together.
Cut to the weekend of July 22 and TMZ reported that Tom and Irina were “cozying up in L.A. over the course of two days” and claimed that she spent the night at his place. Plus, they got pics of Tom “stroking Irina’s cheek—very tenderly.”
Oh, and before we go, Irina’s ex Bradley Cooper is reportedly in his feels over her dating Tom, with a source telling the Daily Mail, “To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie. He has been on and off and on with Irina, and he has so much love for her. She is the mother to his girl and they are his two favorite women in the world. He feels that, for the first time, she met someone in Tom that would take her heart away from him forever.”
