Tom Brady and his impact on the NFL will be ever-lasting. After 23 seasons and 7 Super Bowl championships, he changed the perspective of QBs in the league and established himself as the GOAT of the game.

But even then, Tom Brady has made a lucrative amount of money during his tenure as a QB in the league. And this led to his net worth being compared to soccer legend Lionel Messi, who is also considered to be the GOAT in his own respective sport.

Ever since his divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, Brady has been one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. And this led to many women being rumored to build a romantic relationship with the 7X Super Bowl championship. And one of them is Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk. While enjoying the lavish wedding of one of his close friends recently, it was rumored that Shayk was trying to get close to Brady. Insiders claimed that “she was following him around all weekend” during the wedding, trying to hit it up with the NFL GOAT.
