Tom Brady can't move on from Gisele Bündchen? Insiders claim Sofia Vergara is just a ‘temporary distraction' for the NFL GOAT
Tom Brady can't move on from Gisele Bündchen amid Sofia Vergera dating rumirs (Getty Images) Tom Brady's post-divorce dating life has once again become the talk of the celebrity world, this time with rumors of a potential summer romance involving Modern Family star Sofia Vergara . The two were recently spotted together aboard a luxurious Ritz-Carlton yacht during a high-profile European trip, triggering a wave of speculation about their relationship status. Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara spark dating rumors after yacht sighting in Europe According to sources, Brady reportedly asked to switch seats during a gala dinner just to sit next to Vergara. The pair were later seen spending time in Ibiza, which only added fuel to the fire. Coming off a brief interaction with actress Sydney Sweeney at Jeff Bezos' wedding, Brady's yacht rendezvous with Vergara has stirred even more interest given their public personas and very different lifestyles. But not everyone is buying into the idea that this is a serious relationship. On a recent episode of The Social podcast, host Jessica Allen raised eyebrows with her skeptical—and controversial—take on the rumors. 'Every celebrity and their cousins were invited on board this royal, rich yacht. I think if we were on the yacht, Tom Brady would have asked us to date him,' Allen joked, before adding, 'You think it's going to last? He would never date someone who wears those kind of sunglasses at night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Allen's remarks reflected what many insiders are quietly whispering: that Brady, famous for his obsessive wellness routine and rigid diet, may not mesh with Vergara's vibrant, carefree approach to life. Sofia Vergara reportedly uninterested in long-term plans with Brady Celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi added another twist, reporting that Vergara isn't looking for anything serious. A source close to the actress said, 'Sofía wants someone older, more established, and with a mature, seasoned demeanor,' suggesting that Brady might not be what she's looking for. Adding to the drama, a rumor claiming Brady thought Vergara was 'too old' for him made the rounds—though his representative quickly shut it down, calling it 'completely false.'

Tom Brady's 'ladies' man' image grows as Jess Allen pokes fun at Sofia Vergara dating speculation: "He would never date..."
Tom Brady gets roasted by Canadian host over Sofia Vergara yacht party rumors (Getty Images) Tom Brady may have retired from football, but his presence in the spotlight has only intensified—this time for his off-field charisma. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has been making headlines not just for his business ventures or sports commentary gigs, but for becoming something of a post-divorce heartthrob. Since parting ways with Gisele Bündchen in 2022, Brady has been linked with a series of glamorous women, the latest being the stunning Sofia Vergara . Tom Brady's love life turned into punchline as Jess Allen takes a hilarious jab at romance rumors Speculation first sparked when Brady and Vergara were seen spending time together aboard a luxury Ritz-Carlton yacht, joined by other celebrities during a European getaway. The timing was notable—it came right after Brady had been connected to Sydney Sweeney at the Bezos wedding. According to reports, Brady had specifically asked to be seated next to Vergara during a dinner on the trip. Later, the pair were seen enjoying time together in Ibiza, adding fuel to rumors of a possible summer romance. But not everyone is convinced that sparks are genuinely flying. On a recent episode of The Social podcast, the hosts offered differing takes. While most were open to the idea of a casual fling between the two stars, Jessica Allen voiced strong doubts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Her take was anything but subtle.

I think she is slumming it with him.' Sofia Vergara and Tom Brady's Hot Euro Summer! | The Social Podcast Allen's comments playfully highlighted their contrasting personalities—Brady is known for his ultra-disciplined lifestyle, while Vergara embraces a more vivacious, glamorous image. Allen believes if Vergara does pursue Brady, it might be 'more out of curiosity or amusement than genuine compatibility.' Insider reports from Deuxmoi echo similar doubts. A source claimed that Vergara is actually looking for a partner who is older, more established, and exudes a mature confidence—qualities she allegedly missed in her former husband, Joe Manganiello. Meanwhile, another unverified rumor suggested that Brady viewed Vergara as 'too old' for him. However, Brady's representative quickly shut that down, calling the claim 'completely false' and something he would never say. Still, a now-viral photo of the duo—seated side-by-side during dinner as J Balvin affectionately kissed Vergara's forehead—has kept the rumor mill churning. Both Brady and Vergara, now in their 40s and 50s respectively, are newly single and possibly just exploring their post-divorce freedom. Whether this pairing becomes a headline romance or remains a fleeting friendship, one thing is certain—Tom Brady continues to command attention, even far from the football field.

My K-pop tourism pilgrimage to Seoul was a BTS fan's dream come true
It was either a poem or a meme that said 'People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.' I wholeheartedly believe that South Korea's biggest Kpop group BTS came into my life so that I could meet some of the best people. Being part of Army, the BTS fandom, opened the door to so many precious friendships, including two of Canadian media's biggest Asian baddies: Lainey Lui and Hannah Sung. If you spent your formative years in Canada is the 2000s, you know exactly who these two women are. From ' MuchMusic ' to 'The Social,' they carved out spaces for Asian women in this country's media landscape. Frankly, they are probably why I even have a job in television, as the host of 'The Great Canadian Baking Show.'

Melissa Grelo felt like she was 'having a heart attack' before perimenopause diagnosis: 'That was very terrifying'
Melissa Grelo is a self-described rebel with a cause: empowering women to take control of their health. As the co-host of the daytime talk show The Social, the 47-year-old has become a pseudo-best friend for women who need someone to guide them — and celebrate them — during menopause. Through her work on her podcast, "Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo," the Toronto native has spoken to experts on how to navigate the physical and mental challenges of perimenopause and menopause and how women can embrace the next chapter of their lives. Yahoo Canada spoke to Grelo about menopause, staying fit and more. Menopause has undergone a rebrand of sorts. While it's hard to pinpoint where and when the shift occurred, in recent years more women — specifically women in the public eye like Grelo — have become more vocal about the physical, emotional and mental impacts of menopause. "There's a lot of relief...," Grelo said. "I think a lot of us are in a similar position where, because of a lack of education in general about women's health and specifically this time in our lives it's so shrouded in mystery." Previous generations may have felt as though talking about menopause was taboo, but Grelo said there's been a collective sigh from women who felt alone or like control of their bodies was slipping through their fingers. "As women, we can gaslight ourselves really well," she said. "It's just this idea of being able to say, 'It's not just me, it's not just in my head and I feel seen.'"However, she says the relief is only temporary. As women understand the weight of perimenopause and menopause, there becomes outrage at the lack of education and resources readily available. Young women are no strangers to feeling as though the Canadian healthcare system hasn't always had their best interest at heart. But as they women enter their 40s, 50s and 60s, they're presented with new hurdles to navigate and yet another fight to take on. "I think anger is good," she said. "Anger will help facilitate change and awareness." Grelo's education about menopause began in her early 40s when she began having unexplainable heart palpitations. "That was very terrifying... .I wish someone along the way could have said, 'You know, given your age, this could be perimenopause,'" she said. "...I just thought, I'm a fit person, I work out all the time. Why do I feel like I'm having a heart attack and not getting an answer?" She decided to take matters into her own hands and meet with healthcare practitioners who told her the heart palpitations and some of her other symptoms could be due to perimenopause. Once she had more information, she was able to determine that her anxiety was most likely tied to her body changing. I was riddled with panic attacks in the makeup room every morningMelissa Grelo Although she had struggled with anxiety in her early 20s, she noticed a significant increase in her late 30s after she had her daughter. She was living with catastrophic feeling and "paralyzing anxiety" that prevented her from doing certain things out of fear she would have a panic attack. "It was debilitating," she explained. Grelo said that the anxiety rarely impacted her while she was filming The Social. She could put on a brave face in front of the camera, but behind the scenes it was a different story. "I was riddled with panic attacks in the makeup room every morning," she recalled. "...There was only one time, maybe two times that I was on commercial break and I would look over and say to Lainey [Elaine Lui] 'If I give you a face, just take over and throw it to a break.' That was our shorthand if I thought on a commercial break, 'Am I going to have a panic attack?'" Grelo's passion for fitness evolved during perimenopause. She's always loved to work out and move her body, but something needed to change as she entered her late 40s. Enter: strength training. "Building strength — there's a physical part of it and there's a mental part of it and I love both," she said. "I get such a high when I look at the muscle that I'm building. I just feel badass about it. I think that's a physical embodiment of the transformation that is also happening just as a result of getting older." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Melissa Grelo (@melissagrelo) In a world where the "ideal body" is always shifting and just out of our grasp, Grelo's forging ahead on a new path. Strength training, in addition to cardio and stretching, has impacted more than just her body composition. "I want to be physically powerful," she said. "It translates to how I also move through the world in general." Women may feel as though there's a learning curve to menopause, but aging does come with it's fair share of benefits. For Grelo, her late 40s have liberated her from the fear of disappointing others. "I'm a recovering people pleaser," she said. "I also do really like to work collaboratively. I think when you're in a group situation, which I am in my job… you hope and wish that you're going to like everybody and that everybody likes you…" Grelo said she no longer feels the same desire to jump in and try to "fix" things when every an issue arises. "Not everything deserves a reaction," she said. "As women, we want to fix. When there's awkward silences we always want to talk and we always want to make people more comfortable … Over time that behaviour starts to go away because you realize [you should] say less, do more, react less." At certain stages and ages in your life, there are consequences if you are not likeable as a womanMelissa Grelo Now, Grelo is able to put the old adage of "don't take things personally" into practice and can distance herself from feelings of rejection. Sometimes, that confidence or evolved way of thinking may be translated by others as off-putting. "At certain stages and ages in your life, there are consequences if you are not likeable as a woman," she said. "I'm not trying to say that we all have to become ice queens. What I'm saying is, I think to be less reactive and have less of your day be determined by the moods of others around you —that's a game changer." As a mom, Grelo said she's focused on helping her 11-year-old daughter preserve her confidence, which i difficult to do in a society that profits off of women's insecurities. "Our culture does not reward rebellious girls who colour outside the lines and don't behave as expected," she said. "That's very hard and yet I think that this what's responsible for our dip in confidence for a huge chunk of our life. There's a reason why happiness and confidence rebound in our 50s, because it's our 'I don't give a f—k era'… I don't know why we have to lose it in order to regain it." Grelo points out that there's a resurgence of admiration for women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond who speak their mind, wear whatever they like and live however they choose. It's the years where women's likability or desirability impacts a woman's relationships and opportunities; women are expected to tow the line, for fear of being left behind. As a parent, Grelo wants to be open with her daughter about life, sexuality, health and won't shy away from topics like feminism and the patriarchy. "I know a lot of parents are not prepared for that kind of conversation for different reasons, but I'm a rebel. I'm a rabble rouser, and more so the older I get," she said. "I think that's the beauty of having children if you're an older woman [compared to] when you're younger. We don't have the energy of the young.... What I do have is less f—ks to give, and that's the energy I'm trying to raise my daughter with."
