NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Although there are no legit reports of romance between Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady, the SKIMS founder apparently does have a "crush" on him, claims a source. Several rumors have circulated regarding the 42-year-old media personality's new partner and the NFL legend's name has certainly been on top of that list. Moreover, both Brady and Kim recently attended Michael Rubin's star-studded White Party in The Hamptons over the Fourth of July weekend.

Now, a couple of sources have confirmed to People magazine that the duo had a brief interaction at the festive gathering amid ongoing gossip of their alleged love affair. "[They] said hi briefly when she arrived at the party," the first source says. "Kim and Tom barely even spoke at the party and barely even said hello," added a second source.

Kardashian found the former NFL quarterback attractive

The first source noted that 'The Kardashians' star told her friends that she found the retired NFL quarterback attractive after their short conversation. "Later in the evening, Kim had some liquid courage and was overheard telling friends she has a crush on Tom."

Despite that, it is safe not to jump to any conclusion as a third source told the outlet that there is nothing romantic between the former wife of Kanye West and Tom Brady. "They are friends and have a lot of respect for each other," the source said. "Kim is very focused on her kids and her businesses, and not in a relationship right now."

The second source, on the other hand, claimed that Brady did have a "pretty good interaction" with Emily Ratajkowski, who dated Kardashian's most-recent ex Pete Davidson in the past. "I wouldn't say it was a romance [vibe]. It was fun and everyone was dressed to impress," the source shared. "They were definitely speaking at different times throughout the night." The first source said that the duo interacted only "for a nanosecond."

Kim and Brady have 'friends and business partners in common'

Representatives of Brady previously confirmed to the outlet that nothing romantic was occurring between the duo. Even a source close to Kim backed up the denial at that time, saying, "Hey have friends and business partners in common, but are not dating."

Brady separated from his wife Gisele Bündchen in October last year. They share daughter Vivian, 10, and son Benjamin Rein, 13 together and were married for 13 years. Kim finalized her divorce from Kanye West in November last year as well, ending their seven years of marriage. The exes share four children together: North, 10, Saint, seven, Chicago, five and Psalm, four.

The businesswoman recently broke up with Davidson, 29, in August 2022 after spending nine months together. "I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic and always want to be in love and definitely love sharing my life with someone, and love creating a life with someone," she said in May on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast. "I definitely will take my time. And I think there's so many factors, especially when you have kids and being mindful of people that enter in your life."
