Recent weeks have seen a flurry of speculation surrounding former NFL superstar Tom Brady and acclaimed actress Sofia Vergara, sparking widespread dating rumors that captured the attention of both Hollywood and sports enthusiasts. The buzz intensified following a luxury yacht event and subsequent reports, though not all claims proved to be accurate.

The initial spark for these rumors can be traced back to early July 2025, specifically on July 1st and 2nd, when both Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara attended an exclusive event hosted by Ritz-Carlton aboard their new ship, Luminara. The opulent voyage sailed from Rome to Malta and attracted a constellation of A-list celebrities, including Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Ricky Martin, Kate Hudson, Kendall Jenner, and J Balvin. During the event, Page Six reported that Tom Brady reportedly asked to switch seats to sit near Sofia Vergara at dinner, a detail that fueled early speculation. Adding to the intrigue, Sofia Vergara later shared a photo on her Instagram featuring herself laughing with J Balvin kissing her forehead, while Tom Brady smiled at the camera, giving fans a glimpse of their cozy interaction. Further reports, particularly from Page Six, suggested that Brady and Vergara had been spending more time together in Ibiza, Spain, with sources even describing their status as a “summer romance.”

Amidst the burgeoning speculation, an unsettling rumor surfaced online, alleging that Tom Brady, 47, considered Sofia Vergara, 53, “too old” to date him. This claim rapidly went viral, causing a significant stir and prompting many to question its authenticity. However, on July 10, 2025, a representative for Tom Brady swiftly and strongly addressed these age-related comments, speaking directly to PEOPLE magazine. The rep unequivocally denied the report, stating, “Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction.” The representative further clarified that Tom Brady holds great respect for Sofia Vergara, effectively shutting down the false narrative and dismissing it as unfounded gossip.

While the initial photo shared by Vergara looked friendly, TMZ verified that they are not officially dating, describing their time together as simply having fun with friends. Both Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara are currently single, having navigated recent high-profile divorces. Tom Brady finalized his divorce from Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022. He co-parents two children, Benjamin (16) and Vivian (13), with Gisele, and also has a son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Sofia Vergara's marriage to actor Joe Manganiello ended in divorce in 2024 after seven years. She was also previously married to her high school sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, from 1990 to 1992, with whom she shares a son, Manolo, now 34. Sofia has openly discussed being back on the dating scene, stating on the TODAY show in May 2025 that she desires someone “tall, handsome, healthy, and fun,” as well as financially stable. While neither Brady nor Vergara has officially addressed the ongoing dating rumors, their single status and public appearances together continue to fuel fan speculation about a potential future connection.
