Cristiano Ronaldo's ex 'threw herself' at Tom Brady and followed him round at wedding

Whether it's calling plays as an NFL Hall of Fame quarterback or enjoying himself at a wedding, Tom Brady appears to be hot commodity.

So much so, Cristiano Ronaldo 's ex-girlfriend and Russian Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Irina Shayk reportedly 'threw herself' at the NFL legend, with insiders claiming that she wouldn't leave him alone all weekend.

The 45-year-old ex-NFL star was part of a star-studded guest list present at the monumental wedding of Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick last week. Other high-profile names in attendance were VIPs, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Serena and Venus Williams, Miami nightlife guru David Grutman, auctioneer Simon de Pury, and many other A-listers.

According to Page Six, a source claims Shayk consistently pursued Brady's attention. It was further alleged that Irina made 'a beeline' for the newly single retired Patriots quarterback and 'scarcely let him out of her sight'. “She followed him around all weekend,” said an event insider. “She was throwing herself at him.”

It was also conveyed that the seven-time Super Bowl Champion told close friends that he 'wasn't interested in Shayk's pursuit. Although a trusted source close to Irina told Daily Mail on Friday: 'They’re just friends. They have a purely platonic relationship.' Regardless of the Russian model's motives with Brady, her romantic history is just as star-studded as the list of names in attendance for the event.

Apart from Ronaldo, the flourishing supermodel previously was tied to brief links with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brazilian model Arthur Sales, Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon, Kanye West and R&B music producer Ryan Leslie.

Also present at the wedding were Arab celebrities, kings, princes, and industrialists of the calibre of Nasser Sawiris, whose past net worth was estimated at $8.7 billion (£6.9m), making him the richest Arab in the world who moored his jewel Yalla in the port of Porto Cervo.

Headrick, a 27-year-old high fashion model, married Nahmad, a 71-year-old Monegasque billionaire and former fine art dealer. According to one Italian report, the luxe wedding took place at Costa Smeralda in a Sardinia elegant extravaganza that cost €12 million (£10.28m), with celebrations taking place at the lavish Hotel Cala di Volpe - a European luxury establishment where five-star rooms are listed at €3,409 (£2,910) per night.

Brady's divorce from Victoria's Secret model Gisele Bundchen was officially announced in late October 2022. Despite being his biggest supporter on gameday, Bundchen began to communicate her struggles with how little time Brady spent with her and their kids because of his ambition to continue his playing career for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
