Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara have managed to make headlines since their trip to Spain. The two sparked dating rumors after a photo of them seated next to each other on a yacht went viral. After a report surfaced that the NFL star indirectly hinted at her age, his representative put the claims to rest. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, the rep claimed that Brady “would never” call Vergara “too old” for him.
‘It is pure fiction’: Tom Brady’s rep about Sofia Vergara dating rumors
Tom Brady’s representative is stepping up to clarify the NFL star’s allegedly untrue claims about Sofia Vergara. Speaking to PEOPLE exclusively, the rep responded to Daily Mail’s report, where a source claimed Brady thought the “Modern Family” alum was “too old” to date. The report came amid raging rumors that the two stars were dating after a photo of the two on a yacht in Spain took over the internet.
Dismissing the report, Brady’s rep told PEOPLE, “Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction.”
A few weeks ago, Vergara took to Instagram to share her experience on an A-list outing aboard Ritz Carlton’s new superyacht, the Luminara. Out of the lengthy photo carousel, one specific picture garnered significant attention. The snap captured the actor seated beside Brady as singer J. Balvin also joined in with a kiss on her forehead. This photo was enough to spark dating rumors between her and the NFL star.
Amid widespread speculation, a source described their relationship as a “summer romance.” According to the report, the decision to sit together, as evidenced by the picture, wasn’t a coincidence. The insider claimed it was Brady who “asked to switch seats to sit next to her at dinner.” The two reportedly also hung out in Ibiza after the yacht trip.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail report dismissed dating rumors, with a source telling the outlet that Brady isn’t “looking for a relationship.” The insider claimed that the former quarterback won’t seek a romance with Vergara as she’s “older and stuck in her ways.”
Both Brady and Vergara have yet to publicly address the rumors.
