Representatives for Russian model Irina Shayk deny reports claiming the television personality “threw herself at” Tom Brady while at a wedding in Italy.
A recent piece from Page Six noted Shayk stalked the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback all weekend, having made “a beeline” for the now-retired star. It also claimed that Shayk “scarcely let [Brady] out of her sight,” and “followed him around all weekend,” prompting Brady to tell a friend he was not interested in pursuing anything with her.
A rep for the model has blasted the report, branding it “totally fictional.” Vice president of The Society Management Cheri Bowen said, via the Daily Mail, that “this story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening.”
“They’re just friends,” a close friend of Irina told the publication last week. “They have a purely platonic relationship.”
Irina, 37, is no stranger to big-name celebrities. She has a six-year-old daughter with actor Bradley Cooper while she’s also been in relationships with rapper Kanye West and soccer megastar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Brady, meanwhile, is still single following his divorce from Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen late last year. Shayk is just the latest celebrity he’s been linked to since retiring from football in February, with Reese Witherspoon and Kim Kardashian also named as possible flings in recent months.

It’s also been reported that Brady is keen on avoiding model-type women given the way things worked out with Gisele.
