“I Was Just Messing Around”: Rob Gronkoswki Reveals Single Tom Brady Had No Idea His Best Buddy Would Suggest a New Girlfriend

After his divorce from former Brazilian supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen in October last year, Tom Brady has received a handful of attractive propositions and offers. This ranges from social media personalities to sporting entities. From Miss Slovakia Veronika Rajek to golfer Page Spiranac. And Gronk just added another name to that list.

Brady’s former Super Bowl-winning teammate and legendary NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski asked Brady if he would be interested in dating his ’80 for Brady’ co-star Sally Field. And to the massive surprise of the NFL world, Tampa Tom didn’t discount the idea entirely.

Gronkowski made Tom Brady blush

Rob Gronkowski joined Jim Gray and Tom Brady on the Let’s Go podcast on the January 17 episode before Brady’s encounter with the Dallas Cowboys, a game they have since lost 31-14. And the trio discussed a multitude of topics ranging from center Ryan Jensen’s return to Brady’s new movie production venture. But the Sally Field topic stole the show for sure.

“I was wondering. Tom, have you been considering dating Sally Field after that Oscar-worthy performance or what,” Gronk asked the recently divorced father of two. However, Tom Brady didn’t laugh away the idea of dating the 76-year-old iconic actor. “I appreciate that, thank you,” TB12 replied before including some details.

“We did have kind of an on-camera, you know, thing going on. It was actually nice. We really enjoyed our time together. And we’ll see where it goes from here,” Tom said.

Tom fired right back at Gronk

However, with his on-set connection with Sally Field now public news, Tom Brady didn’t hesitate before outing Rob Gronkowski’s chemistry episode.

“You and Jane Fonda had a good scene too. That was really spicy. I was really excited to see that. I know all the Gronk fans will be excited to see that,” Brady told his 4x Super Bowl champion ex-tight end. And Gronk promptly replied, “I knew you were gonna say that.” Gronk spoke to PEOPLE recently about the hilarious episode. “I was just messing around, poking some fun at him,” he said.
