This public outcry was promptly re-shared by Gretzky on his own account, further inflating the online buzz.
The championship match itself was not without its dramatic moments which was attended by over 81,000 passionate fans. However, the celebrity presence extended beyond the athletes. Both Brady and Gretzky were observed within the exclusive VIP suite of US President Donald Trump, underscoring the diverse and influential attendees at such a globally substantial event.
Gretzky, a vocal supporter of Trump in past elections, seemed comfortable in the high-profile setting.
This wasn't Brady's initial public connection with Tie Domi. Earlier in the year, in April, Tom Brady and Tie Domi had both celebrated soccer luminary David Beckham's landmark 50th birthday. Brady had also posted several stories from this exorbitant gathering on his Instagram.
One specific photograph, portraying Tom Brady with Domi's father, the former NHL enforcer Tie Domi, alongside Tie's wife Heather, and real estate magnate Jeffrey Soffer with his wife Colleen, caught attention.
They were all elegantly attired for the evening's festivities. In the associated caption, Brady blithely acclaimed, 'Hanging with the biggest boss in Vegas, and @max's dad.'
Max Domi, a current forward for the Leafs and Tie's son, reacted to this mention by sharing the photo on his own Instagram story, embellished with three laughing emojis. Brady continued to share other images from the celebration, including a shot of him standing with basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal and David Beckham. In a comical stab, Brady even entitled Tie and Max 'the backup goalies' for the Inter Miami soccer team, jokingly referring to them as the 'backups of the backups.

Ananya Panday casually admits her Labubu is fake!
Ananya Panday humorously revealed that the Labubu doll adorning her Chanel bag is actually a Lafufu, a knockoff version. Her friend's failed business venture resulted in a surplus of these fake dolls, which Ananya embraced as a quirky accessory. The internet lauded her candidness and nonchalant attitude towards sporting a counterfeit item on a luxury bag. The internet can't get enough of Labubu dolls, those oddly adorable plush toys with goofy grins, wide eyes, and furry little bodies. Originally from China, these collector-favourite dolls can cost anywhere from ₹2,500 to ₹5,500, depending on the edition. But naturally, with anything this viral, knockoffs are everywhere. Enter the Lafufua , name given to fake Labubus, now flooding both online shops and street markets for a few hundred bucks. While most people shy away from admitting they've bought a Lafufu, Ananya Panday just went ahead and dropped the mic with her confession. In a behind-the-scenes video posted by socialite Orry, Ananya casually shared that the Labubu attached to her Chanel bag isn't even real. Apparently, a friend of hers had ordered 100 dolls hoping to start a Labubu biz, but what they got instead? A pile of Lafufus. And instead of letting them go to waste, Ananya decided to accessorise her luxury handbag with them. Honestly, kind of iconic. In her words: 'My friend was trying to start a Labubu business and ordered 100 of them. But she called for Lafufus and not Labubus… It is, but it's on a Chanel bag, so no one will ever know.' The most recent viral sensation in the fashion world is the monstrous Labubu doll that is being used as a bag charm. As the original Labubu dolls are priced around Rs 5,000-6,000 in India, apps are selling fake Labubu dolls that have an uncanny resemblance to the original doll. Although they do look like a voodoo doll, girls are going gaga over them too and are purchasing them for just Rs 600. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Of course, the internet was here for it. Fans loved how unbothered and real she was about the whole thing. One Instagram user commented, 'Haha she is so chill about it… loved it,' while another wrote, 'At least she's honest!' A few even joked about nationalism, saying, 'Buy Lafufu, it's Indian. Labubu is Chinese.' Moral of the story? You can own your knockoff with flair, as long as it's hanging off a designer bag and you've got Ananya Panday-level confidence.
