Tom Brady Dating Life: Kardashian Dinner, Blonde Superstar 'Bragging'?

The Patriots legend is now both retired from football and divorced from Gisele, and celebrity being what it is, we work on the assumption that the public is hungry to know, well, "How's Tom Brady doing''?

Tom Brady has lived a very public life, in large part by choice. That's part of the job of being an NFL quarterback and it's part of the residue of marrying Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.

The New England Patriots legend is now both retired from football and divorced from Gisele, and celebrity being what it is, we work on the assumption that the public is hungry to know, well, "How's TB12 doing''?

There are multiple outlets, including The U.S. Sun, reporting that the 45-year-old former QB is dating a "blonde-haired superstar" and that he is "bragging'' about it.

These suggestions come alongside rumors that Brady was recently spotted having dinner with famous-for-being-famous celebrity Kim Kardashian, who may be a neighbor of his (in whatever neighborhood they might be hanging out in.)

In a sense, Tom Brady visiting with Kim Kardashian makes sense. How many people on the planet can understand "the cult of personality'' better than the two of them?

And, in a sense, Brady dating anyone - "blonde superstar'' or otherwise - makes perfect sense as well. One name being tossed around by the gossip rags is Veronika Rajek, who is an Instagram model. She's been photographed in a Bucs No. 12 jersey, but that can be meaningless given the fact that as an IG model she's been photographed also wearing ... well, most nothing at all.

What Rajek does have is 4.7 million followers on IG, which makes her a "superstar'' of sorts. And she seems to have an affinity for Brady, which could be fueled by anything from an actual friendship with him to a simple clout-driven desire to latch onto his coattails.

In any event, a Vanity Fair interview earlier this year features Gisele wishing the best for Tom, his ex saying, "I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever. If there's one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That's what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.''
