Tom Brady Responds to Report Suggesting He Thinks Sofia Vergara Is ‘Too Old’ for Him to Date

The report came on the heels of dating rumors that began shortly after the pair were reportedly seen flirting on the new Ritz-Carlton superyacht last week. Insiders say the romance was short-lived.

Tom Brady is shutting down a report suggesting his true feelings about Sofia Vergara. The former NFL quarterback and "America's Got Talent" judge became the center of a media frenzy when rumors began circulating that they were enjoying a "summer romance" in Ibiza.

The speculation began last week when the pair were aboard the new Ritz-Carlton superyacht, the Luminara. They were among several A-listers at the vessel's launch, which featured a two-day luxury voyage that set sail in Rome.

It was reported that during one of the gala nights, Brady asked to sit next to Vergara and the two were more than friendly with each other. Shortly thereafter, Vergara posted a photo of herself and Brady at their table as J Balvin passed by, planting a kiss on the actress's forehead.

After their time on the Luminara, Brady and Vergara reportedly continued spending time together. This week, however, sources who spoke to TMZ stated that Vergara and Brady are not dating, and that what they had was nothing more than a fling.

Another insider that later spoke to Daily Mail claimed Brady "loves being single and is enjoying his summer before he starts working again. They added that the 47-year-old "is not looking for a relationship" and "isn't looking to settle down" at the moment.

Regarding Vergara, the insider stated, "He sees Sofia as beautiful and his type, but he isn't going to start a relationship with her as she is older and stuck in her ways. He knows he could only take her in small doses."

Brady's representative has since responded to this in a statement. "Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction," the rep said.
