Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady caught getting close in first photo together at swanky party amid dating rumors
KIM Kardashian and Tom Brady have been spotted getting close in their first photo together since the pair were rumored to be dating.
The photo was taken at Michael Rubin’s annual White Party, which is attended by a number of sports stars, actors, and television personalities each year.
The snapshot of The Kardashians star and the former NFL quarterback was posted by the celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi’s Instagram account on Wednesday.
Captioned: “White Party update,” the photo captured Kim, 42, and Tom, 45, with their backs turned to the camera, mingling together in their party whites, while enjoying the celebrity-filled get-together.
A note by the photographer said: “I’ve been seeing some posts speculate [sic] whether or not Kim and Tom actually spent time together at the party.”
They continued: “I wasn’t gonna send this initially bc it felt creepy but I do have a photo of them together.”
In the post’s comment section, one person wrote: “I actually think they have a lot in common. They both strike me as these career-driven, ambitious types. I think there’d be a lot of closeness through a high level of practicality in their professional lives, and at this point that might not be a bad thing.”
Another fan commented: “No one said they didn’t interact AT ALL at the party. The question is whether he’s interested and how MUCH time they spent interacting. This picture proves nothing.”
“Idk why but I want this pairing to be real lmao,” added a third.
While a fourth unconvinced commenter remarked: “Talking at a party doesn’t mean anything…”
THE PARTY
Speculation about the pair was reignited when Kim and Tom were spotted talking at the A-List party.
The Skims founder and seven-time Super Bowl champion were both attending Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s White Party in The Hamptons over the Fourth of July weekend.
Rumors of a potential romance have been making their rounds online as many speculate that the famous pair are now dating.
Two sources told People that the pair had minimal interaction at the festive gathering.
They said “Hi” to one another but following the brief exchange, one of the sources said they overheard Kim telling friends that she found the retired NFL quarterback attractive.
“Later in the evening, Kim had some liquid courage and was overheard telling friends she has a crush on Tom.”
But despite this, a third source claimed there is still nothing romantic going on between the Hulu star and the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer.
“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.”
DATING RUMORS
The popular gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi claimed Kim and Tom crossed paths and were “having fun” as she had been searching for a vacation property in May.
Deuxmoi posted the anonymous tip on May 14, 2022, and it has been liked by over 20,000 people.
After divorcing her ex-husband Kanye West, 46, Kim then dated comedian Pete Davidson, 29, for nine months before they called it quits in August 2022.
Sources close to the couple confirmed that the breakup was amicable due to the pair’s intense schedules.
The TV star has maintained her single status since splitting from Pete – but has been rumored to have a few other love interests since.
During an appearance on the Late Late Show in September 2022, Kim explained her vision for her next relationship.
“I’m not looking. I just want to chill for a minute, I think I need some time to myself,” she told host James Corden.
“But I think my next route will… I feel like I have to go to different places. Clearly, it’s not working, whatever I’m doing.
“I don’t know, maybe like a hospital and meet a doctor. A law firm?”
The reality TV star continued: “I think it’s going to be a scientist, neuroscientist, biochemist, doctor, attorney. That’s maybe what I envision.”
