For years, Tom Brady was rumored to be good friends with Donald Trump when he was a member of the New England Patriots.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers star quarterback now appears to be on good terms with another politician.
According to the New York Times, Brady is text message buddies with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, has for years been the subject of public affection from former President Donald J. Trump.
But according to Tim Michels, the Republican nominee for Wisconsin governor, Mr. Brady is now on texting terms with another Republican seen as a White House contender: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
Mr. Michels continued: “I say, ‘Who are you texting with?’ He says, ‘I’m texting with Tom Brady.’ The governor of Florida gets to text with Tom Brady.”
DeSantis attended a Green Bay Packers football game last month and spent part of the game texting with Brady, according to Michels.
“DeSantis, who on the day of the Packers game had appeared at a rally for Michels and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., “had never been to Lambeau Field before and he wanted to go,” Michels said. “We’re sitting there, you know, we’re watching the game and all of a sudden, I look over and he’s texting and he says, ‘How do you spell Lambeau?’”
