Irina Shayk and Tom Brady broke up after a short fling
Following his divorce from Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady was linked with every possible female celebrity. However, it was ultimately Irina Shayk who got the NFL legend’s attention. Brady and Irina had a lot in common as both of them were parents and both of them had been involved in some incredibly high-profile relationships.
At one point, it was even reported that Tom was ready to introduce Irina to his children. However, as time went on, Brady and Irina did not seem to be going ahead and ultimately parted ways. While neither has commented on their short relationship publicly, it seemed like the two parted ways amicably and there was no animosity between the two.
