Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian were seen chatting it up at entrepreneur Michael Rubin‘s star-studded Hamptons party earlier this month. Since then, rumors have been swirling online that the 45-year-old NFL star and 42-year-old SKIMS mogul are romantically linked.
Multiple insiders and sources told outlets that the two newly single A-listers were flirting at the bash (which had a white clothing theme). Host Rubin, however, recently sat down with Entertainment Tonight to address the rumors that he deemed “crazy.”

Last week, a fan sent in a photo of Brady and Kardashian talking to each other at the party to Deuxmoi, the (unverified and popular) celebrity gossip Instagram page. Their submission read: “I’ve been seeing some posts speculate whether or not Kim and Tom actually spent time at the party and I wasn’t gonna send this initially bc it felt creepy but I do have a photo of them together lol.”

Michael Rubin Breaks His Silence On Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian Dating Rumors
Rubin, who hosted the celebrity-packed party, told Entertainment Tonight at the Shawn Carter Foundation’s black-tie gala in New York City last week: “Honestly, [Tom and Kim] are just friends,” he said. The Fanatics CEO added: “It’s just the crazy rumors that get out there.”
The businessman stressed that while Brady and Kardashian were seen talking, smiling and having a good time together, that’s all there was to it. “Tom was with me a ton of the night and we were having fun, and Tom just doesn’t go out that much. It’s a rare sighting. And Kim doesn’t drink much,” he went on.

Rubin continued: “So I think Kim’s 10 or 12 shots she had, [and] Tom, you know, being fun, it just leads to rumors. We always want to laugh about it.” Other notable attendees at Rubin’s Hamptons event a few weeks back included Beyoncé, JAY-Z, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Kendall Jenner and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Soon after the party, one source reportedly told The Daily Mail that Brady and Kardashian “were super flirty with each other at Rubin’s party and were seen during the day on the beach together and again dancing at night.”

However, other insiders apparently told Page Six that the athlete and reality star “only talked briefly” and were not seen dancing or even flirting as previously reported. Page Six also added that Brady was seen by guests talking to several women.
Brady was previously married to supermodel Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to October 2022, when they announced their split. They share two children together: son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10.
Kardashian married Kanye West in 2014. She famously filed for divorce in February 2021, and it was finalized in November 2022. They share four kids together: daughter North, 9, son Saint, 7, daughter Chicago, 5, and son Psalm, 4.
