As a quick refresh, Tom Brady, 46, previously dated actress Bridget Moynihan from 2004 and 2006, and together they share son Jack. He went on to marry Bündchen, a Brazilian supermodel, and they had two more children: Benjamin and Vivian. Last fall, Tom and Gisele officially ended their relationship after 13 years of marriage and 16 total years together.

Here, we explain everything to know about Tom Brady and Irina Shayk's relationship timeline, including when they met and where they stand today.

In 2022, Models.com named Shayk one of the "New Supers," a nod to the new era of supermodels.

Most notably, Irina Shayk previously dated actor Bradley Cooper from 2015 to 2019. Together, they share one child, daughter Lea, who was born in 2017. Before her romance with Cooper, Shayk was linked to Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.
