MIAMI, FLORIDA: Following his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen last year, former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has smoothly adjusted to single life. He is reportedly seeking comfort in the company of some of Hollywood's most celebrated bachelors.
Brady has been forging ties with those close to Leonardo DiCaprio, cementing his place within the actor's inner circle. "Now that Tom is single and out on the social circuit in Miami, he’s been getting close with a lot of people Leo knows," an insider told OK! Magzine.
DiCaprio dated Bundchen from 2000 until 2005
"That’s how they got connected," the source added further. Notably, both Brady and DiCaprio have a special relationship with the Brazilian supermodel. Brady was married to Bundchen for 13 years, and the couple has two children, Benjamin, 12, and nine-year-old Vivian. DiCaprio dated Bundchen from 2000 until 2005. Despite this potential source of awkwardness, the insider disclosed, "It was a little awkward at first but once they got past the whole Gisele thing, they really clicked."
'Leo’s more than happy to play the pied piper'
Moreover, Brady is keen to immerse himself in a world of happiness since Leo's circle has a vacancy, and Leo is happy to play the part of the "pied piper." As the source said, "The fact is, there’s an opening in Leo’s circle! Tom wants to get out and have fun and Leo’s more than happy to play the pied piper." Previously Brady and DiCaprio were spotted hanging out in a big yacht in Sardina.
Rumors had previously swirled regarding a potential romantic involvement between the former NFL star and reality TV personality Kim Kardashian. Speculation intensified when Kardashian reportedly sought Brady's guidance on purchasing property in the Bahamas, where the quarterback owns a home.
'She’s only human — he’s gorgeous!'
Shedding light on the situation, an insider clarified, "Kim really likes Tom, She phoned him and asked him for his advice on Baker’s Bay." Although a future relationship was not entirely ruled out, the insider made it plain that Brady and Kardashian are "not dating" at the moment. "She’s only human — he’s gorgeous!" the insider playfully disclosed. At present, those who are close to the retired athlete assert that he is casually dating and has not embarked on anything serious yet. "He's been dating around," the source said before adding "He is out and about."
