Irina Shayk is very happy to literally go the distance for her new romance with Tom Brady because she likes him just that much, People reports. A source told the outlet that Shayk is very smitten.
“[She’s] impressed with Tom,” the source said. “He is her dream guy. She loves dating him. They 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.”
Brady and Shayk were last photographed leaving the same five-star hotel, The Twenty Two, separately in London. The Daily Mail reported the couple as being “holed up” there on August 13 and 14.
Reports of Shayk and Brady dating first came out at the end of July. A source told Entertainment Tonight then that “the two have been talking for about a month and have enjoyed their time together, but it’s not too serious.”
A source gave The Daily Mail more detail at the time, revealing that Brady sees Shayk as a potential serious partner. “Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about,” the source said. “She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work. He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids. He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well.”
Neither Shayk nor Brady have commented on dating reports yet. This is Brady’s first public relationship since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
