Kim Kardashian Reportedly Left Feeling 'Embarrassed And Bitter' After Tom Brady Rejected Her At A Wedding
Kim Kardashian has reportedly been trying to re-enter the dating world; however, she won't be hard-launching a relationship with Tom Brady anytime soon. According to a new source, Kim Kardashian is reportedly reeling after being rejected by Tom Brady, who was recently spotted with actress Sofia Vergara. Kim Kardashian Reportedly 'Embarrassed And Bitter' After Being Rejected By NFL Legend Tom Brady A source told RadarOnline that Kim, who had been linked to Brady in May 2023 after reportedly searching for a vacation home near Brady's in the Bahamas, has been in a bad headspace after reportedly being overlooked by the Super Bowl champion. Insiders revealed that Kim had hoped to reconnect with Brady at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's recent wedding; however, things didn't go according to plan. The source told the outlet that "Kim wasn't exactly subtle about liking Tom," confirming the pair have "had flirty moments and plenty of run-ins," leading Kim to believe "something might eventually happen." His recent outing with Vergara, though, "stung" her. Kim Kardashian Has Reportedly Had A 'Massive Blow' To Her Self-Esteem After Tom Brady Connected With Someone Else The outlet also noted that the source said being rejected by Brady has "been a massive blow" to Kim's "self-esteem." "Tom checked all her boxes — he's polished, high-profile, and attractive. She really thought he could be the one, so watching him pursue someone else hit a nerve," the source added. Vergara and Brady first sparked romance rumors in July 2025 after the NFL star reportedly requested to be seated next to her on a superyacht. 'Tom went out of his way to sit next to Sofia — the spark was there right away. Things moved quickly between them, and it turned into a fun summer fling. The timing couldn't have worked out better for her," a source told RadarOnline. Source Says Kim Kardashian Is 'Lonely' After Tom Brady Rejection Regarding Kim's dating life, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star has been single since ending her relationship with football player Odell Beckham Jr. The pair were an item for six months, dating from September 2023 to March 2024. According to an insider, "Kim is basically sad and lonely" and "really struggling." "Since Kanye, it's been one disappointment after another," they continued. 'She feels like she gave her best years to someone who didn't appreciate her, and now she's up against younger women—or women like Sofia who are getting the men Kim wants." The source added that the reality star is "quietly hoping Tom and Sofia don't last," considering the pair "becoming serious is way more humiliating for her." 'On the outside, she's putting on a brave face, but inside, it's tough," they concluded. Someone Close To Brady Denied His 'Summer Romance' With Vergara However, a recent report from The Blast stated that despite the chatter regarding his "summer romance" with Vergara, the former quarterback remains a single man. "Tom loves being single and is enjoying his summer before he starts working again, and he is not looking for a relationship," a source said about Brady, later adding that the NFL analyst has "options." "He's not looking to be settled down right now. He wants to just have fun. Flings and hookups are cool, but if anyone thinks they can have more with him right now, good luck!" the source said. Is There A Reason Brady May Not Be Interested In Pursuing Anything Further With Vergara? Beyond that, the source also shared that a relationship with Brady and Vergara wouldn't have worked because the elite athlete found the "Modern Family" actress "stuck in her ways." They also claimed Brady "could only take her in small doses." "Sofia's Colombian heritage is sexy, and hanging out with her and other sexy people on a yacht can be intoxicating, but Tom is not going to bring his work home with him if you catch my drift," the source shared. "If Sofia has any thought that she is going to be in a relationship with Tom, she would be the only one with that thought... nobody should start thinking of celebrity relationship names for them because it is not something that is going to happen."

Travis Kelce Jokes He's Living Out a Gender-Swapped ‘Pretty Woman' With ‘High Class' Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce thinks that the classic '90s film Pretty Woman hits pretty close to home, considering his relationship dynamic with Taylor Swift. In a hilarious moment from the latest episode of New Heights posted Wednesday (July 23), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his brother/cohost, Jason Kelce, joked that Travis is living out a gender-swapped version of the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere-led film. Pretty Woman — which the siblings broke down for a film-club segment of their podcast — centers around a prostitute (Roberts) who falls in love with a wealthy and powerful businessman (Gere). More from Billboard Taylor Swift Celebrates Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco's 'Loaf Story' With Home-Baked Gift Sabrina Carpenter Reveals 'Man's Best Friend' Tracklist via Golden Retriever Timmy Trumpet Cancels European Shows Following Injury The parallels between the plot and Travis' romance with Swift first came up when the two brothers started discussing whether Pretty Woman could be considered a feminist movie. 'I think the only way to gauge it is to flip the script,' the Happy Gilmore 2 actor began. 'I think we need to make Pretty Man. And we need to have a CEO billionaire woman be so high class that she doesn't know where she's going.' 'Travis, you're living Pretty Man right now,' Jason interjected, causing his younger brother to burst out laughing. 'You are Pretty Man. You're living your own Julia Roberts straight down.' Cackling, the Grotesquerie star said in reference to a racy scene from Pretty Woman, 'I'm wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home.' 'You can't beat it, man,' Travis continued before recalling the time he met the film's lead actress at one of Swift's Eras Tour shows in Dublin in 2024. 'That's why me and Julia Roberts — when I met Julia — it felt like we were the same person. She spoke to me in this movie.' The tight end added jokingly, 'I'm just an NFL stripper, that's it — just an NFL hooker, man.' As one of the highest performing players in American football this past decade, Travis is, in reality, a far cry from the struggling status of Roberts' character in Pretty Woman — but it's certainly true that Swift, a billionaire and possibly the most famous woman in the world, has elevated him to new levels of fame. The athlete has been open about how dating the 14-time Grammy winner has brought him more attention and opportunities. The couple first started dating in 2023. Swift has since ingrained herself in Chiefs Kingdom and in Travis' family, becoming close with her boyfriend's parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, and brother. Also on the latest episode of their podcast, Jason recalled the first time he met Swift at a Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills matchup in January 2024 — which also happened to be the same game where a shirtless Jason sparked a viral moment while cheering his younger brother on. 'That was a f–king really fun day,' the former Philadelphia Eagles center said. He added to his brother, 'Also the first time I met your girlfriend, so that was an all-timer.'
