Speculation surrounding a potential romance between retired NFL icon Tom Brady, 47, and "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara, 53, has intensified after the two were reportedly seen "hanging out together on a superyacht earlier this month."
However, Brady's representative has swiftly moved to shut down a specific, eyebrow-raising rumor, vehemently denying that Brady ever stated Vergara was "too old" for him to date.
The dating buzz gained traction after photos emerged of Brady and Vergara enjoying a celebrity-filled outing aboard the Ritz-Carlton's new superyacht, the Luminara, in early July.
According to reports from People Magazine and Page Six, the duo appeared friendly, with one insider even suggesting that Brady specifically requested to sit next to the Colombian actress at dinner.
Vergara herself added fuel to the fire by sharing a photo on her Instagram of herself and Brady seated together, with singer J Balvin playfully kissing her forehead as Brady smiled for the camera.
While the images sparked widespread online discussion about a burgeoning "summer romance," the latest statement from Brady's camp addresses a particular report that suggested his disinterest due to Vergara's age.
"Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction," a representative for the former quarterback told People. This denial specifically targets the "too old" narrative, leaving the broader question of their relationship status open-ended.
Both Brady and Vergara are currently single, having recently navigated high-profile divorces. Brady finalized his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
He has since been linked to other notable figures, including model Irina Shayk in 2023, though those rumors eventually subsided. Vergara, meanwhile, split from actor Joe Manganiello in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, with their divorce finalized earlier this year.
She had a brief romance with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman following her separation.
Sources close to the situation, as reported by TMZ, have indicated that while the two celebrities were indeed enjoying their time together on the yacht, they are not currently dating.
However, the optics of their close interactions have certainly ignited public imagination, particularly given the age difference, which some fans have noted is less significant than previous rumored pairings for Brady.
The swift denial from Brady's representative aims to quash any negative perceptions regarding his stance on dating and age. It highlights the often-intense scrutiny placed on celebrity personal lives and the rapid spread of rumors in the digital age.
