What Kanye West Thinks About Kim Kardashian’s Rumored Romance With Tom Brady

It had been rumored this month that Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady have a romantic interest in one another, though many sources insist that the pair are “just friends.”

“There isn’t anything romantic going on between them,” a source told ET this week. “Both of their priorities are their families. Kim has just been having fun and enjoying her summer.”

That hasn’t stopped their exes from hearing about it. Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West has also heard the rumors and the source says he “has been jealous over the reports about Kim and Tom.”

As for Gisele Bündchen, Brady’s ex-wife, she “is taking everything with a grain of salt.”

“Her main focus is to have a healthy and balanced co-parenting relationship with Tom,” the source explained. “She wishes him the best and wants him to be happy.”

Both Brady and Kardashian were spotted at Michael Rubin’s annual 4th of July party in the Hamptons, and Rubin himself ET that the two are not dating, and that the rumors are exaggerated.

“Honestly, they’re just friends,” he said. “It’s just the crazy rumors that get out there.”

He added, “Tom was with me a ton of the night and we were having fun, and Tom just doesn’t go out that much. It’s a rare sighting. And Kim doesn’t drink much. So I think Kim’s 10 or 12 shots she had, [and] Tom, you know, being fun, it just leads to rumors. We always want to laugh about it.”

Brady’s divorce from Bündchen was finalized in October 2022, and Kardashian and West were officially divorced a month later. The SKIMS founder went on to date comedian Pete Davidson for about nine months, but has otherwise not been romantically linked to anyone in public.
