Tom Brady’s new romance with Irina Shayk has left Michael Holley with a lot of questions.
The NBC Sports Boston host was on a Monday broadcast with Michael Felger where the two grappled with Brady’s first public fling since his October 2022 divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, ending their 13-year marriage.
“There’s so many Tom Brady rumors. Rumors about who Tom Brady is dating. And I’d like to tell you that I don’t care about this, but what’s bugging me is I do care!” Holley exclaimed.
“When I see Brady trending on Twitter, I try to figure out who’s the supermodel he’s dating now? And I wind up googling this person.”
Brady, 45, and Shayk, 37, reportedly spent this past weekend together in LA after initially meeting at the wedding of billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in Sardinia.

The Russian model and seven-time Super Bowl champion are having a “casual” relationship, Page Six reported.
The pair was photographed on multiple occasions, in Brady’s Rolls-Royce and walking down the street, as the ex-NFLer picked Shayk up from Hotel Bel-Air on Friday and brought her to his place.
Holley –– who has authored six New York Times bestselling books, including “Patriot Reign” –– was left pondering about the future of the former New England Patriots quarterback’s dating status.
“And then I have these thoughts about what happened. ‘What is Gisele thinking about this? How long is this gonna last? Will [Brady and Shayk] get married?’” Holley said.
While Brady and Shayk’s relationship has Holley — and most of the public — reeling over the details, it seems Bündchen has no problem with the new duo.

“Why wouldn’t she be happy for Tom? She divorced him,” a source close to Bündchen told TMZ Sports. “It is helpful to her freedom that he moved on.”
Brady and Bündchen share son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10, as well as Brady’s first-born, Jack, 15, whom he had with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.
Shayk has a daughter, Lea, who was born in 2017 with her now ex-boyfriend, actor Bradley Cooper.
