Tom Brady and Irina Shayk were spotted having dinner-for-two at a sushi joint in New York City – just days after their budding romance was revealed. The NFL star, 46, and the Russian supermodel, 37, dined in a ‘private room’ at Sushi Azabu in Tribeca on Friday, July 28, an eyewitness told Page Six.
The beloved quarterback was said to have arrived first and Irina showed up just a few minutes later. Most diners failed to take notice of the couple as they walked through the restaurant. They were both escorted by restaurant staff to their dining area, where they enjoyed a ‘private and ensconced’ dinner. ‘It was just the two of them. They were just in their own little world. They clearly didn’t want to be around people,’ the insider dished.
Tom tried to keep it low-key by dressing ‘very casually, like in a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers.’ Seemingly wanting to impress her new beau, the eyewitness described Irina as looking ‘much more formal and elegant, like [it was] a date kind of situation.’ Her ex Bradley Cooper is reportedly ‘bothered’ by her relationship with Tom – and is terrified that the retired athlete might ‘take her heart away from him forever.’
Their romance was brought to light late last month when photographers caught them cozying up in his car after spending the night together. Now sources have revealed how both their former flames reacted to the new pairing – and it has been said that the model’s ex Bradley is very ‘conflicted’ about her latest love interest. Irina and Bradley, 48, first started dating in 2015, and they welcomed a daughter together, named Lea, in March 2017.
They were together for four years before ultimately splitting in 2019 – but since they went their separate ways, rumors have continuously swirled that they were rekindling their love as they have been seen spending time together on numerous occasions.

But now that she’s officially moved on with Tom, 45, an insider tells DailyMail.com that the Hangover star is not pleased. ‘To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie,’ they dished. ‘He has been on and off and on with Irina and he has so much love for her. ‘She is the mother to his girl and they are his two favorite women in the world. He feels that, for the first time, she met someone in Tom that would take her heart away from him forever.’
The source said that the actor was ‘conflicted’ because he had ‘dated other women’ since their breakup. They added: ‘Tom is very capable of being a devoted husband and parent. This is what gets to Bradley.’
As for Tom’s ex Gisele Bündchen, 43, who started dating the football star in 2007 and was with him for more than a decade before they confirmed they were divorcing in October 2022, a separate source said she’s completely ‘unbothered’ by his romance with Irina because she had ‘moved on.’
‘Gisele is unbothered by Tom and Irina, or anyone that Tom dates, so long as they treat their kids with love,’ the insider said. ‘Tom and Gisele are divorced, and she’s moved on. So long as Tom plays an active role in his kids’ lives like he does and continues to the wonderful father he is, Gisele is happy for him and whoever he chooses to fall in love with.’

Tom and Gisele share two children – Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13 – while he also has an older son, Jack, 15, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan. Since the former couple broke up, Gisele has been seen hanging out with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, although they haven’t officially confirmed a romance. It’s been said that Tom and Irina first connected when they both attended the wedding of art heir billionaire Joe Nahmad and his longtime girlfriend, Madison Headrick, in May.
A source previously told DailyMail.com that the athlete and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star bonded at the event, which took place on the lavish Italian island of Sardinia, and ‘have been in touch ever since.’
‘They really clicked in May [at the wedding],’ they explained. ‘They’ve been in touch ever since then, trying to line up schedules to meet. ‘They have a lot of chemistry. They’re excited to see where it goes but it’s still early days.’ Photographers caught the former quarterback gently caressing the 37-year-old’s face in his car following an overnight rendezvous at his Los Angeles mansion on Saturday.
According to an onlooker, Tom picked Irina up at a hotel on Friday afternoon and took her directly to his house. They emerged from his property together the following morning about 9:30am, and were spotted sharing a very intimate moment in his car.

Tom was seen sweetly rubbing Irina’s cheek as the two giggled together and looked into each other’s eyes. He dropped Irina – who was wearing the same clothes from the night before – back at her hotel before collecting her again a few hours later to return to his house once more.
‘Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about,’ another source told DailyMail.com about the new pairing. ‘She is not just a fling, he really wants to make this work.
‘He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids. ‘He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well.’
