Tom Brady and Irina Shayk appear to have gone their separate ways, and the time has come to lay this whole situation out—mostly because it was incredibly complicated and full of rumors Oh, and because their exes Bradley Cooper and Gisele Bündchen apparently had some thoughts.

But first! Let's take things back to September 2022 for a sec, aka a simpler time when there were reports that Irina and Bradley were jumping back into the sha-ha, sha-ha-llow together.

September 2022

So after Bradley and Irina go on THIS vacation together (please swipe past the huge pig)...

...a source tells Page Six that the former couple is thinking about getting together again and might even grow their family.

"They both [Bradley and Irina] haven’t gotten serious with anyone else and they are both into the idea of having a kid," the source says. "It’s not Bennifer 2.0 where the other person is always in the back of their head, it’s more like, ‘why not?’ They have to deal with each other anyway since they are parents together. They are both thinking, maybe it’s time to finally really settle in."

October 2022

Over in Tom and Gisele's world, multiple outlets report the couple has hired divorce lawyers—and a source tells Entertainment Tonight that "Tom isn't taking things well. He wants to reconcile and was still holding out hope that they could work things out. He is extremely hurt and misses Gisele being by his side. He feels abandoned in a way. He loves his family, but also wants to continue his career. He feels like he is in a tough spot."

Meanwhile, this is the vibe from Gisele:

November 2022

A month after news of her and Tom's divorce breaks, Gisele and her jiu-jitsu instructor spark dating rumors. Why? Basically, because they went out to dinner together, which means...nothing. Anyway, a source shuts down said rumors to the Daily Mail, saying, "He's been her kids jiu-jitsu teacher for years. There's no truth to the rumors that they're dating."

March 2023

Gisele chats about her and Tom's breakup with Vanity Fair. Ahem:

"When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn't mean you don't love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It's a dance. It's a balance. We're not playing against each other. We are a team, and that's beautiful. I look back and I have no regrets. I loved every bit of it."

May 2023

Tom and Irina both attend the wedding of "billionaire art heir" Joe Nahmad and Madison Headrick in Italy. Per TMZ, "A number of models were hitting on Tom, and Irina was one of them"—something her rep denies, notably. 👀

Entertainment Tonight later reports the two "spent time together" and "hit it off" at the wedding and "have been talking for about a month."

^ Irina around the time of the wedding, FYI!

June 9, 2023

Page Six says "spies" (quick break to 😂) told them Irina made a "beeline" for Tom at the wedding, and "she followed him around all weekend. She was throwing herself at him." Meanwhile, her manager hits back with, "This story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening."

July 3, 2023

Tom is spotted at Michael Rubin's Hamptons White Party—an event I worry we'll never stop talking about—flirting up a storm with Kim Kardashian.

The Weekend of July 22

TMZ reports that Tom and Irina were spotted "cozying up in L.A. over the course of two days" and she spent the night at his place. Oh, and Tom was "seen stroking Irina's cheek—very tenderly." The outlet updates its article on July 24 with confirmation that Tom and Irina "are indeed dating."

Meanwhile, Gisele celebrates her birthday:

July 24, 2023

We get our first intel on how Gisele feels about Tom dating Irina, with a source telling TMZ she's "not happy." That said, another insider notes, "Why wouldn’t she be happy for Tom? She divorced him. It is helpful to her freedom that he moved on."

TMZ also says Irina and Gisele are "not friends, but they have known each other professionally for years and have always been cordial when they cross paths."

July 25, 2023

As for how Bradley is doing with Irina and Tom's whole ~thing~, a source tells the Daily Mail, "To say he is not bothered by this would be a lie. He has been on and off and on with Irina, and he has so much love for her. She is the mother to his girl and they are his two favorite women in the world. He feels that, for the first time, she met someone in Tom that would take her heart away from him forever."

Apparently, Bradley is "conflicted" since he's also "dated other women," but is concerned since he knows "Tom is very capable of being a devoted husband and parent and husband."

Meanwhile another source tells Page Six that Bradley isn't upset about the situation, saying, "Right now, he is taking a wait-and-see attitude. [Tom and Irina] didn’t declare their love. This could be over in two, three weeks. He isn’t freaked out. He knew she was going to meet someone."

August 1, 2023

A source tells Us Weekly that Tom doesn't plan on spending his birthday with Irina, saying "He’ll be spending his birthday with the loves of his life his children." Turns out, Tom recently "traveled to Africa and will be celebrating there with them."

Meanwhile, he's "still seeing Irina," and while the romance is "very new," they’re "enjoying spending time with each other."

August 14, 2023

Page Six reports that Irina is taking steps to protect the relationship with Tom and cutting ties with "loose lipped" friends to "prevent leaks." As a source puts it, "she’s afraid any weird rumors might scare him off," she "really wants this to work," and "Brady is her white whale. He’s an all-American nice guy." No-ted!

August 15, 2023

Looks like Tom and Irina have officially found time to reconnect! The Daily Mail reports that the couple "enjoyed a romantic 48 hour rendezvous in London over the weekend" and were "holed up" at a hotel (which they left separately). Love that for them.

August 21, 2023

Another day, another Tom and Irina report! This time, an insider tells People that the model is "impressed with Tom" and that, "He is her dream guy. She loves dating him." Oop!

The source *also* dishes to the outlet that the two, "work around their schedules and meet up wherever they can...Irina doesn’t mind traveling to see him. She is very excited about their relationship."

A source tells Us Weekly that, "Tom has no idea if Irina is still seeing Bradley, but it’s really none of his business. Tom and Irina aren’t in a committed relationship, so she’s free to see anybody she likes." The insider also adds that, "Tom has been focused on his kids and his career. He still likes spending time with Irina, but things are still very new."

September 9, 2023

TMZ reports that Tom and Irina are still dating despite the Bradley Cooper of it all. As they put it, "Sources with direct knowledge tell us the couple is, indeed, continuing to date and that they're still romantically involved." They add that despite not seeing them "canoodling in public," they are, in fact, "an item."

September 12, 2023

Prepare to internally freak out, people! Per pics obtained by Page Six, Irina was spotted walking into Tom's (likely gorgeous) Tribeca apartment on the afternoon of Monday, September 11.

An insider also adds more ~context~ to the news and dishes to the outlet that the former quarterback reportedly sat in a vehicle outside of his building for approximately 20 minutes before the supermodel arrived in a separate SUV. Irina then apparently took another 10 minutes before making her way into the New York City apartment after the NFL star entered.

Oh, and if this isn't already !!!! enough, the two apparently also spent the remainder of the afternoon together inside Tom's place and didn't leave.

October 23, 2023

Whelp, it's over. Per a People source, "Irina was very attracted to Tom. She liked dating him. It excited her. They had fun traveling to see each other. In the end, it kind of just fizzled. They both keep having obligations, and it was getting more difficult to be in the same city at the same time. Irina has nothing but great things to say about Tom."

December 9, 2023

Wait, update: It's not over. Irina is seen getting into Tom's car in Miami, prompting speculation that they might still be seeing each other!

Another insider adds that "there's no drama," in case you were wondering.
