Turns Out Tom Brady Did Not Backstab $500 Million Cristiano Ronaldo Who Allegedly Inspired Him to Make NFL Comeback

Tom Brady, a legendary figure who inspires many, found his inspiration in another legend of his game. After spending 20 seasons with the New England Patriots and two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady retired in February 2022. However, he surprised the world by making a triumphant comeback to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a seven-time Super Bowl champion, Brady embarked on this intriguing comeback after being influenced by the renowned soccer player, $500 million worth Cristiano Ronaldo.

Both athletes share a mutual respect and also learn from each other. However, a controversy emerged in the past, suggesting that Brady had betrayed Ronaldo, as claimed by their followers. Fortunately, this controversy has now been resolved, with the key individuals involved coming forward to address the situation and share the truth with the public.

Brady’s relationship status controversy

A few weeks ago, the Page Six website reported that swimsuit model Irina Shayk had shown a keen interest in seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady during a mutual friend’s wedding. Shayk, who had previously dated Cristiano Ronaldo for five years, allegedly followed Brady around throughout the weekend and was described as “throwing herself at him.” The controversy arose during this high-profile marriage ceremony where both individuals were in attendance.

However, Cheri Bowen, the vice president of The Society Management and Shayk’s representative, has refuted these claims. In an interview with The Daily Mail, Bowen stated, “This story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening.” According to Pop Culture, the original report mentioned that Brady “wasn’t interested,” and a source clarified that their relationship is purely platonic. These reports provide further evidence that Brady did not backstab his inspiration, Ronaldo, by becoming involved with his ex-girlfriend, as speculated and rumored.

Ronaldo-inspired NFL comeback

Following his retirement, Tom Brady made one final appearance on the football field before officially hanging up his boots in February of this year. However, what inspired his return to the NFL? Brady had been contemplating a comeback when he witnessed Cristiano Ronaldo’s awe-inspiring performance at Old Trafford. Ronaldo, at the age of 37, scored a hat-trick, surpassed Joseph Bican on FIFA’s all-time top scorer list, and solidified his legacy as the greatest goal scorer in history.

This moment seemingly confirmed to Brady that age is merely a number. In a tweet, he stated, “These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now.” He expressed his love for his teammates, and supportive family, and declared his return for the 2022-23 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, stating, “I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business.”
