Tom Brady turned 49 on August 3 and shared photos from a yacht celebration with his children. The posts did not identify the yacht’s precise location. Separate photographs published on August 5 showed Brady aboard a yacht off the Coast of southern France.
An unidentified blonde woman in a black one-piece swimsuit was photographed aboard the yacht and later snorkeling with Brady. The images sparked speculation about a romance, but neither Brady nor his representatives had publicly confirmed a relationship as of August 7, 2026.
Brady finalized his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in October 2022 and has since been linked in media reports to several women.

Brady is the father of Jack, 18, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. He shares Jack with Bridget Moynahan and Benjamin and Vivian with Gisele Bündchen.
A yacht outing prompts unconfirmed romance speculation
Photographs published on August 5 showed an unidentified blonde woman aboard a yacht with Brady near the South of France. She was wearing a black one-piece swimsuit and was later pictured snorkeling with him.

As of August 7, Brady and his representatives had not publicly commented on the images, and the woman’s identity remained unconfirmed. The available reporting did not establish that the outing was a date or a new romance.
His dating history since the divorce
Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce on October 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage. Since then, media reports have linked Brady to several women, although the certainty and reported nature of those connections have varied.
Multiple sources told PEOPLE in 2023 that Brady and Irina Shayk had dated before the relationship “fizzled.” They were photographed together and reportedly traveled to meet one another, but neither publicly defined the relationship in detail.
Brady was later seen with Alix Earle at New Year’s Eve and Super Bowl events. In February 2026, a source told PEOPLE that the pair were “hooking up,” while representatives for Brady and Earle did not comment. Brady has not publicly announced a committed relationship with Earle or identified the woman photographed in France.
Photos draw attention to Brady’s appearance

Brady has publicly discussed swimming as part of his post-retirement workouts, but the August 2026 photographs do not establish his full current regimen or support medical conclusions based on appearance.
Gisele Bündchen has moved forward, too
Bündchen married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in a private Florida ceremony on December 3, 2025. The pair had reportedly begun dating in June 2023 after first becoming friends. They kept their wedding within their family circle rather than announcing it publicly in advance.
