Tom Brady takes steamy shower and shows off ripped physique on yacht in Ibiza amid Sydney Sweeney links
The NFL icon, who was heavily linked with actress Sydney Sweeney during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding festivities in Venice last week, wore a pair of tiny swim shorts as he tried to relax.
As a result, the 47-year-old's incredibly muscular frame was on full show and he seemed only too happy to bare all as he topped up his tan.
Brady's six pack and muscular legs were on full display as he showed no sign of letting his physique decline during retirement.
The former New England Patriots star did leave his sun lounger at one point, hopping into the ocean with a similarly ripped, but unknown, guest and two girls to go snorkeling as the yacht's staff watched on.
Once Brady had returned to the comfort of the vast seating area, the seven-time Super Bowl cleaned himself up with an outdoor shower on the yacht's edge.

He did seem to be in deep thought at one stage, hanging his legs off the edge of the boat and staring out onto the horizon.
Brady eventually returned to the comfortable seating in the boat's outdoor lounge area and seemed to put his headphones in as he tried to switch off.
It comes a week after Brady sparked rumors of a possible romance with Hollywood star Sweeney, with reports claiming the pair danced together during the party, which is said to have lasted until 2am.
TMZ also claimed that he was 'chatting up' Sweeney at the hotel bar.
Brady also enjoyed a day out with actors Orlando Bloom and Leonard Di Caprio in Venice, with the three seen sipping on cocktails poolside.
Brady and Bloom were also pictured wandering the streets of Venice alongside Sweeney, with the White Lotus star described as the 'most sought after person' at the party.
'Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life,' a source said.
She and Brady sent social media into meltdown after reports suggested they struck up a possible romance.

But a source claimed the former quarterback 'danced with everyone' at the wedding - not just Sweeney but also model Brooks Nader, to whom he was briefly linked last year.
Brady got an invite to the wedding because the former quarterback and Amazon billionaire Bezos are believed to have grown close over the past few years, having become neighbors at Indian Creek in Miami.
Indian Creek Island is called 'Billionaire's Bunker' because of the high number of celebrities who reside there, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
Brady resides in his newly-completed mansion on the island, which is believed to be worth a staggering $150million following its lengthy construction.
He bought the plot for $17m five years ago with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen with the intention of making it their forever home. However, the couple divorced in October 2022 before the property's completion.
Meanwhile, Bezos set property values rocketing on the VIP enclave when he forked out $90m on his third home there last year.
Brady did take time out of his vacation in Ibiza to post a touching birthday message to his mom, Galynn, who turned 79 on Friday.
He wrote: 'This is one of the most important birthdays today! Happy Birthday, Mom.
'Thank you for being someone our family could always count on. Your strength and determination and love and selflessness knows no bounds. We are so lucky to have a mom that leads by example.
'Today we celebrate not just everything you've done, but for the incredible person you are. We love you so much, and we're beyond grateful for every moment we get to share with you. Happy Birthday! And happy birthday to America! Everyone have a great 4th of July'.
Soon Brady will return to his day job as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports. The former Patriots and Buccaneers star is preparing for the second season of a 10-year, $375million deal.
Brady is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and he recently explained his role with the team. I'm just a limited partner, so [owner] Mark [Davis] is the boss,' Brady said in an interview with Paul Gutierrez of the team's website.
'And then [head coach] Pete [Carroll] does his job and Spy [GM John Spytek] does his job and, I think, we trust them to make the right decisions. I'm there as a great sounding board for anything they want to do.'

Gardening expert shares 5 tips for using your outdoor space
Light can be especially tricky in confined outdoor spaces, and they can quickly feel cluttered. To help, Michael Griffiths, a gardening expert working with Gumtree, has shared a few tips to make the most of your garden this summer. 5 tips to make the most of your outdoor space this summer 1. Think Vertical, Not Just Horizontal If you're short on outdoor space or generally want to make the most of the area you have, don't just think ground level. Michael says: "Walls, fences, sheds, even balcony railings are all fair game. Add a trellis for climbers, hang up some wall-mounted pots for herbs or strawberries, or stack up a few shelves for trailing plants. "Got an awkward corner or a narrow ledge? Pop in a pot and let something spill over the edge. Even the tiniest spot can be packed with life if you get a bit creative. "Growing upwards not only saves space, it makes the garden feel taller, fuller and way more interesting." 2. Use Multi-Tasking Plants Plants are a key element of any garden, so to make the most of them, it's useful to plant ones that do more than one job. Michael explains: "Herbs like rosemary, thyme and oregano are perfect: they look good, smell amazing, and you can chuck them in your cooking too. "Small trees like bay or olive add a bit of height and structure without taking over the whole space, plus they bring that lovely Mediterranean vibe." 3. Clever Storage = More Space In a busy garden, smart storage makes a massive difference, such as utilising benches with hidden compartments. In lieu of a shed, make use of wall hooks, shelves or even an old cupboard fixed to the fence to keep tools off the floor and easy to grab. Michael adds: "There is also absolutely no harm in clearing the clutter of any unused items you may have in your garden to help create space. "But, before you look to the bin, consider listing any unwanted items on a second-hand marketplace such as Gumtree! It can be a great way to make some extra cash to reinvest in your garden." 4. Go Big with Pots When utilising pots, go for bigger ones as they'll have more impact than lots of small ones scattered about. Michael explains: "Group them in odd numbers (like threes or fives) for that proper designer feel, and mix up the heights to add a bit of depth without it all feeling crammed. It's a simple way to make your space look more intentional." Recommended reading: 5. Light and Colour Tricks A few tricks can make a smaller garden feel a bit bigger and brighter, as Michael explains. He says: "Stick a mirror on a fence or wall and it'll bounce light around, giving the illusion of more space (plus it just looks cool). "Painting your fences or containers in pale or warm tones helps reflect the light too, especially in shady corners that can feel a bit gloomy. "And don't forget lighting. Fairy lights, solar lanterns or string lights along fences instantly make the garden feel cosy and inviting after dark, like you've gained a bonus room for evening chill-outs or drinks with mates."

Chelsea edge Palmeiras as late deflection books Club World Cup semi-final spot
Their place in the last four of the Club World Cup in the bag and the prospect of a £97m windfall still up for grabs, Chelsea found themselves in an unusual position: relieved to have survived a taxing second half, hailing Malo Gusto's unlikely role as matchwinner and able to delight in the opposition's goalscorer being named superior player of the match. For a while the story of this entertaining quarter-final looked like it was going to be about Enzo Maresca finding it within himself to forgive Estevao Willian. Everything had changed when the Brazilian sensation, who joins Chelsea after this tournament, cancelled out an early goal from Cole Palmer and hauled Palmeiras level at the start of the second half. Quiet during the first half, Estevao threatened to take over and send his next team back to England. The consolation for Chelsea was likely to be seeing exactly why they have paid £52m to sign a talent tipped by many good judges to win the Ballon d'Or one day. Yet that uncomfortable conversation between Estevao and Maresca was averted thanks to a horrendous error from Weverton seven minutes from time, a deflected cross from Gusto somehow deceiving the Palmeiras goalkeeper and bobbling in. Palmeiras, who have never won this competition, could not believe their misfortune. They lost late to Chelsea in the final three years ago; now they were out thanks to an own-goal from their goalkeeper. Not that Chelsea cared. The future looks bright. Palmer and Estevao working in tandem after this tournament? It is a delicious prospect and Chelsea's owners will have loved the symbolism of the duo embracing at half-time. As for the present, the focus is on reaching next Sunday's final in New York. Next up are Fluminese, who beat Al-Hilal in the day's other quarter-final, and that means a reunion with a Brazilian from a different era: the former Chelsea centre-back, Thiago Silva. There was also rare positive PR for Fifa given that its dynamic pricing model pulled in a bigger crowd than expected and quelled any debate over scheduling this tie on Independence Day. This, after all, was far from the biggest show in town on Friday. Fourth of July festivities tend to be quite a big deal in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy, and anyone looking for ways to mark the holiday could choose from Major League Baseball at nearby Citizens Bank Park, free concerts and a fireworks show in the city centre. But prices dropping as low as $11.15 (£8.17) ensured there was a decent attendance at Lincoln Financial Field, where attention was on the weirdness of Estevao playing his future employers. What to do? In Marc Cucurella's case it was to stick tight to the teenager and kick him at every opportunity. It was as if the left-back was determined to show Estevao what it will be like in the Premier League. The challenges were physical and there was even a blast of fury from Cucurella after Estevao had a nibble at Levi Colwill midway through the first half. Chelsea were aggressive. The worry for Maresca was how his midfield would function without the suspended Moises Caicedo and the injured Romeo Lavia. Enzo Fernandez moved deeper but there was another rejig when Reece James suffered an injury during the warm-up, forcing Maresca to hand a first start to Andrey Santos. In that context, perhaps it was not a surprise when Chelsea grew a little ragged in the second half. Making up for the absence of Caicedo's power and Lavia's elegance was not easy for Santos. The 21-year-old Brazilian is still adjusting to Maresca's system after an impressive loan spell at Strasbourg, although this was still an encouraging first step. Playing in a deeper role, Santos asked for the ball, got stuck in and did not hide when the game got tough after half-time. Palmeiras, who were without key figures in defence, had struggled at first. Maresca had left it up to Pedro Neto to decide if he wanted to play after the death of his friend and Portugal team-mate Diogo Jota. Neto was excused from training on Thursday and it would not have been a surprise if the winger had accepted the offer of compassionate leave. Instead, though, the 25-year-old lined up on the right wing and was soon giving Micael the run around. Palmer, playing as a No 10, was just as elusive. Sixteen minutes in, he moved to the right, took a pass from Trevoh Chalobah and turned. The outcome was inevitable. Palmer swerved on to his left foot, held off a couple of challenges and threaded a low shot into the right corner from 20 yards. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Chelsea remained on top. They should have scored again, only for Christopher Nkunku to shoot over. There was a lull as half-time approached. Richard Rios had an opening for Palmeiras. Liam Delap ruled himself out of the semi-final after picking up a booking. The mind went back to Chelsea blowing a half-time lead against Flamengo during the group stage. The Brazilian teams are not to be underestimated. Palmeiras emerged with more intensity at the start of the second half. The narrative turned in the 53rd minute. There was a clever pass from the right from Rios. Estevao nipped in, stepping past Colwill, and then came the demonstration of his unique talent: the daring to shoot from such a tight angle, the bravery to take it with his weaker right foot, and the technique to catch Robert Sanchez out at his near post, the ball flying past the Chelsea goalkeeper and going in off the bar. Maresca responded by removing Delap for Joao Pedro and bringing Noni Madueke on for the disappointing Nkunku. Chelsea rallied. Joao Pedro, who has only had a couple of training sessions since joining from Brighton this week, looked bright. Madueke brought more drive on the left. The game flew from end to end. Palmeiras were too open. Chelsea kept working themselves into promising positions, although the nature of the winning goal owed more to luck than judgement, Gusto squeezing in a cross, the ball changing course and Weverton not reacting in time.

Anxiety and excitement combine for Williamson with Wiegman's new England
Leah Williamson said she had felt anxious in the buildup to England beginning their European title defence against France on Saturday night, the Arsenal defender having missed the 2023 World Cup after an anterior cruciate ligament injury. 'I've probably held some anxiety up until this moment just because I wanted to be here and I wanted to be here with the team and I wanted to experience another tournament with England,' said the Lionesses' captain. 'It's special when you come to another country, to represent your country and just take everything in. It's a bit different to England in 2022. I'm very excited but so much has changed, so I'm intrigued to come back and enjoy this tournament football.' England look different from the team that beat Germany in the final in 2022. Millie Bright stepped back to protect her mental and physical health and Jill Scott, Ellen White, Rachel Daly, Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have retired completely or, in the case of the last two, retired from international duty. The mantra has been that this is a new England. 'The team has been a bit in transition, of course,' the manager, Sarina Wiegman, said, 'and we absolutely cherish what we have done before, and we never forget it, and those are lifetime experiences for us and for our families and also for the fans. But you have to move on and you have to be on top. Things are changing very quickly, so we have to, too. We came together in February and we said: 'It's a new challenge.' The approach was there anyway, but we called it the New England.' France have changed too, but there are familiar faces everywhere, not least in the dynamic Chelsea forward Sandy Baltimore. How do you stop her? 'Whisper in her ear,' said Lucy Bronze, her Chelsea teammate, with a grin. What do you say? 'Nothing in English,' the England full-back said, still grinning. Bronze, competing at her seventh major tournament having been part of every Euros and World Cup squad since 2013, has probably played with or against most players in Switzerland for Euro 2025. There is one absent face in particular she will miss, though – that of the France centre-back Wendie Renard, who was dropped by the manager, Laurent Bonadei, along with Kenza Dali and Eugénie Le Sommer. It is a testament to Bronze's competitive nature that she was unhappy about Renard's omission. 'I want to play against Wendie,' she said of her former Lyon teammate. 'I want to play against the strongest French team. I want Wendie to be playing, defending corners and I can jump over her and win the ball. Winning a header over Wendie Renard, that's an achievement.' Renard's replacement as France's captain, Griedge Mbock, another former Lyon clubmate of Bronze's, is a doubt. The Paris Saint-Germain centre-back has been training separately after a calf injury. The potential stand-in, 21-year-old Alice Sombath, who has four caps, was also at Lyon with Bronze. 'She's probably got more maturity than people might give her credit for,' Bronze said. France have an enviable attacking lineup that includes Kadidiatou Diani, Baltimore and Marie-Antoinette Katoto. 'I think England have one of the best attacking lineups,' said Bronze. 'The type of attackers France have got, we have quite similar, and as defenders we defend against that every day in training.' Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion Bronze has played in some of the best teams in the history of women's domestic football, so where does England's front three, likely to be drawn from Alessia Russo, Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead, Lauren James and Chloe Kelly, rank in terms of providing that top-level test of a defender in training? 'I'd say it's similar to those kinds of teams that I've been in,' said Bronze. 'I might be playing up against Hempo for 30 minutes and then it's LJ, then it's Chloe; it's just non-stop, and they've all got such different attributes. Even someone like Michelle [Agyemang], who is relatively young, just runs into people and bodies them because she's so strong.' James is ready to play more minutes, said Wiegman, after returning from a hamstring injury as a substitute against Jamaica last weekend. 'I won't give you the lineup but she played 30 minutes last week so she can play more than that,' the manager said. After France, England face the 2017 European champions, the Netherlands, on Wednesday before completing the group stage against Wales. It has been referred to as the group of death. There is little room for error. Bronze said it was 'a good and a bad thing' having to start against a serious contender. 'If we lose that game, everyone says it's the worst; if we win that game, it's the best,' she said. 'We just try to look at the positives: the fact that we get to test ourselves against the good teams straight away. There's no surprises going through the tournament. We know the standard that you have to be at. When you get to these kinds of tournaments, you want to play in the big games against the best players. Why not have it in your first game? It makes it more exciting.'
