What Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady’s Relationship Is Really Like Amid Crush Report

Last weekend, Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian both attended billionaire Michael Rubin’s annual July Fourth party in the Hamptons, but there’s not much to report in terms of their rumored connection.

Earlier this week, an insider told Daily Mail that the pair were flirting at the event.

“Kim and Tom were super flirty with each other at Rubin’s party and were seen during the day on the beach together and again dancing at night,” the onlooker claimed. But, a different source told People that Kardashian and Brady “barely even spoke at the party and barely even said hello.”

A second source claimed they “said hi briefly when she arrived at the party.”

Yet a third insider claimed they “are friends and have a lot of respect for each other. Kim is very focused on her kids and her businesses, and not in a relationship right now.”

However, the first source did say that Kardashian drank a few shots (which she admitted herself on Twitter), and starting gushing a bit.

“Later in the evening, Kim had some liquid courage and was overheard telling friends she has a crush on Tom,” they claimed.

A new source speaking to the Daily Mail backed up the idea that they’re just friends.

“I don’t know why there are all these rumors about Brady and Kim Kardashian – they barely interacted at all,” they said. “He actually spent the evening with Emily Ratajkowski – they were together most of the night and looked very cozy. They didn’t leave together but if anyone was getting close, it was them.”

A different person at the event confirmed to People that Brady did have a “pretty good interaction” with Ratajkowski, but added, “I wouldn’t say it was a romance [vibe]. It was fun and everyone was dressed to impress. They were definitely speaking at different times throughout the night.”

Sounds like a bunch of friends having a good night out.
