Kim Kardashian is certainly keeping up with Tom Brady, but there has been no touchdown just yet.
Whatever is going on between the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, 42, and the Super Bowl champ, 45, it’s apparently not a romance — despite rumors that swirled after the pair were seen chatting at a party over the holiday weekend.
“Later in the evening, Kim had some liquid courage and was overheard telling friends she has a crush on Tom,” an insider told People, though another clarified that the two are just “friends and have a lot of respect for each other.”
“Kim is very focused on her kids and her businesses, and not in a relationship right now,” they added.
Chatter of a romance between the controversial figures started after they “said hi briefly” at Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July party in The Hamptons, one source told People. Another similarly played down the interaction, noting they “barely even spoke … and barely even said hello.”
Those in Brady’s camp also previously denied any talk of a relationship with Kardashian. However, according to the latter source, he did enjoy a “pretty good interaction” with Emily Ratajkowski at that same party, which wasn’t necessarily romantic but “was fun” and recurring.
Brady and ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, finalized their divorce last fall, 13 years after saying, “I do.”
Meanwhile, Kardashian’s last prominent relationship to make headlines was her 9-month romance with Pete Davidson last year, serving as the root of much contention with ex-husband Kanye West.
