Tom Brady & Sofia Vergara's Dating Rumors Get Another Update — Report
Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara's dating rumors seemed to have taken over headlines since their yacht party photo surfaced online. However, their rumored romance recently received a new update after reports previously mentioned that the NFL legend wasn't into her. A new source familiar with the links claimed that their interaction was 'casual,' while another alleged the two have been enjoying a 'summer romance.' Rob Shuter exclusively learned that contrary to dating rumors, Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara are 'not romantic.' A source claimed that the two 'were just having a laugh' while voyaging across the Italian coast on the Ritz-Carlton's luxury superyacht named Luminara. Brady and Vergara were among many A-list attendees, including Kendall Jenner, Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart, who attended the event. Whispers about a potential romance surfaced after Vergara shared a photo of her and Brady enjoying dinner in a nine-part Instagram post from the superyacht. Page Six's source claimed that the retired athlete 'asked to switch seats to sit next to her at dinner' and described recent links between the two as a 'summer romance.' However, an insider informed Shuter that 'everyone moved seats' and their interaction 'was casual — not romantic.' Moreover, Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara's dating rumors seemingly pumped the brakes because she isn't his type. A second insider told Shuter that he 'dates models,' and although Vergara is 'amazing,' she isn't 'his type romantically.' The source further noted that in the viral photo, they are just two 'famous people laughing over dinner' and 'nothing more.' The buzz ignited on the heels of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding when Brady was linked to Sydney Sweeney. He and Sweeney, who is newly single after calling off her engagement with Jonathan Davino, both attended the sumptuous Venetian ceremony last month when they sparked romance rumors.
