Did Tom Brady Say Sofia Vergara Is ‘Too Old’ For Him to Date?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Late last year, we reported on the rumors that Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara enjoyed a summer fling overseas.

They were both guests at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding, and after the nuptials, Tom and Sofia joined several other A-listers on a cruise.

They eventually wound up partying together in Ibiza, and insiders claimed that they appeared to be hitting it off.

But before anyone could anoint this couple with a mashup nickname (Tofia? Som?), a buzzkill insider swooped in and claimed that Tom’s not interested in anything long-term because Sofia is “older.”

Source claims Tom can only handle Sofia ‘in small doses’

“He sees Sofia as beautiful and his type, but he isn’t going to start a relationship with her as she is older and stuck in her ways. He knows he could only take her in small doses,” the source tells The Daily Mail.

“Sofia’s Colombian heritage is sexy, and hanging out with her and other sexy people on a yacht can be intoxicating, but Tom is not going to bring his work home with him if you catch my drift,” the insider continues, adding:

“If Sofia has any thought that she is going to be in a relationship with Tom, she would be the only one with that thought… nobody should start thinking of celebrity relationship names for them because it is not something that is going to happen.”

As though the source hadn’t already made their point, they went on to explain that Tom isn’t looking for anything serious in the wake of his divorce from Gisele Bundchen.

“Tom loves being single and is enjoying his summer before he starts working again and he is not looking for a relationship. He is always weighing his options when it comes to dating anyone. ‘Options’ being the operative word.

“He’s not looking to be settled down right now. He wants to just have fun. Flings and hookups are cool, but if anyone thinks they can have more with him right now, good luck!”

Reps for Brady deny comments about Vergara’s age

Thankfully, a rep from the Brady camp denies that the NFL legend ever made any sort of disparaging comment about Sofia’s age.

“Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction,” the rep tells People magazine.

Tom is 47, and Sofia just turned 53 this week, so it’s not as if there’s a massive age gap between them.

And that’s not the only reason we believe Brady’s rep.

Having played in the NFL into his mid-forties, we’re sure Tom has been on the receiving end of age-related insults. And for that reason, we think he’d know better than to dole out any of his own!

LeAnn Rimes Dishes Into “Craziness” of Affair with Eddie Cibrian

Reading Time: 3 minutes

We recently documented how LeAnna Rimes lost her teeth while on stage for a concert.

Well over a decade ago, meanwhile, the artist nearly lost her dignity in the eyes of a previously-adoring public.

In a new interview with Flow Space, Rimes delved deeply in her affair with now-husband Eddie Cibrian, an illicit endeavor that landed her in the crosshairs of many critics back in 2009.

The singer and the actor met on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Heights, at which time Cibrian was married to Brandi Glanville and Rimes was married to Dean Sheremet.

They started sleeping with each other despite these relationships… eventually divorcing their spouses in 2010 and getting married the next year.

“I realized very quickly that there are a lot of women who’ve been hurt,” Rimes told the aforementioned outlet.

“Like, I’ve been on both sides of that coin — I’ve been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling. But so many women don’t know what to do with that anger… I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier.”

Rimes said most of those judging her were women.

And that “so many women don’t know what to do with that anger,” she explained. “I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier.”

The 42-year-old said she determined after awhile that she can’t take the disdain her her and Eddie’s romance be taken “personally.”

This was a major challenge at first, though.

“I know what I’m responsible for in the situation and making amends for that,” the singer said. “But you know, the world’s pain is not mine to carry, and I think that really got thrown at me for a long time.”

In 2010, Rimes confessed to People Magazine she considered her affair with Cibrian “one of the most selfish things that I could possibly do, in hurting someone else.”

She said at the time:

“I take responsibility for everything I’ve done. I hate that people got hurt, but I don’t regret the outcome.”

To the couple’s so-called credit, they are still together. All these years later.

“If I want to live a fulfilling life, I’ve got to learn how to let that guard down. To me, it was either I was going to die, or I had to confront it.” for everything I’ve done. I hate that people got hurt, but I don’t regret the outcome,” Rimes concluded this week.

Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have over three decades of performing under their belt, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Fans can catch their high-energy shows all year long, whether they’re headlining their own tour, joining Morgan Wallen as support, or hitting festival stages across the U.S. and overseas.

Under the duo’s announcement post on Instagram, several of their supporting acts took to the comment section to express their excitement.

Tucker Wetmore wrote, “Honored” and “Can’t fricken wait” while Caylee Hammack added, “here we goooooooo” and Katilin Butts simply said, “Yeehaw🤠.”

Angie K also noted how “unreal” it felt to see her name on the lineup, supporting such legendary acts. “OKC, Kansas City, and Moline better show up to throw DOWN 🔥🔥🔥”

Artist presales for the 2026 NEON MOON TOUR begin Wednesday, February 25 at 10AM local time and general onsale begins at 10AM local time this Friday, February 27, at brooks-dunn.com.

Before they can embark on the NEON MOON TOUR, the most-awarded artists in CMA history will head across the pond for their first-ever run of UK dates, headlining Europe’s largest country music festival, C2C 2026, with stops in Belfast, Glasgow and London.

After wrapping up overseas, they’ll return to the U.S. for Stagecoach, then jump back out on the road with Morgan Wallen for eight stadium shows this summer on his Still the Problem Tour 2026.
