News now : Tom Brady proposed to Kim Kardashian after secretly dated her for a month and she said YES

Celebrity dating rumors are a dime a dozen, and it’s so hard to separate what’s true from what’s just online gossip. Over the years there have been plenty of rumors surrounding the Kar-Jenner family. Most recently, Kim Kardashian has been making headlines for her alleged romance with NFL star Tom Brady.

Rumors of a potential romance surfaced earlier this spring and then fizzled out until Kim and Tom attended the same Fourth of July party. Rumors about a potential ship were revived after a popular celebrity gossip blog posted a picture of the Skims mogul and seven-time Super Bowl champion chatting it up at the fete.

Both Kim and Tom are newly single. The NFL star divorced his wife of 13 years, supermodel Gisele Bündchen in October 2022, while the reality star-turned-mogul ended things with her comedian boyfriend Pete Davidson in August 2022 after dating for nine months. Since then, Kim has kept her dating life under wraps, only alluding to dating a mystery man named Fred on her hit Hulu reality series, The Kardashians.

If you’re wondering what’s really going on with this duo and where speculation of a possible romance started, read ahead for a timeline of Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady dating rumors.
