Tom Brady recently closed the curtains on his 23-year career with a decisive message. In the last year, TB12 has been at the forefront of speculation both on professional and personal fronts. After encountering a series of ups and down, with emphasis on the latter, for the second time in two years, the QB proclaimed his retirement.

The events that followed his first retirement early last year stirred relentless speculation online. Brady’s divorce from his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, made headlines and continues to be part of daily discourse. After his separation from Bündchen, the NFL world set about pairing the QB with potential romantic interests. And one particular individual stood out.

Most recently, Rajek took to Instagram to share stunning pictures of herself. Clad in a yellow bikini, she captioned the pictures, “Everyone is always compared to others, but no one knows real you, just you do. Void the noise and trust yourself. 💛” Taking every opportunity they get to nudge her towards Brady, the NFL world took to the comments. One particular user rather insensitively said, “Tom Brady is asking for a little extra pounds😁”. Rajek didn’t let the fan get away with it and responded by saying, “he is not my nutritionist 😉” Her brief but decisive response firmly indicated that she would not be brought down by the negativity.

 

But Rajek’s newfound attention in the NFL world may dissipate soon enough. Recent reports suggest that despite the QB’s retirement, a romantic relationship was not on his plate at present.

Brady may not be inclined to pursue any romantic interest

Tom Brady has seen the best and worst of the NFL in the last twenty years. Yet, this season was perhaps the most long-winded and chaotic one. Brady came back to the league after a 40-day retirement trial run. But the months to follow didn’t quite meet the expectations that were set.

Following his return, the QB divorced his wife of 13 years, saw a huge slump in performance, and navigated troubles with his investments. Stepping away from the game is perhaps the best move for the former QB to recharge and reevaluate what he wants his future to look like. It’s also an opportune moment to focus on co-parenting his children. While the NFL world may be inclined to pair TB12 with a potential romantic interest, the QB has bigger fish to fry and will not want to shift focus from the things that matter the most.
