Tom Brady’s keeping it all under wraps. But Irina Shayk? Not so much. Because people will notice if your Instagram suddenly appears like the opening credits of a perfume ad and you’re glowing subtly throughout Italy as if your DMs are alive again. She didn’t give names. She didn’t have to. Sometimes the candlelight says more than the caption. Yeah, Brady’s not throwing footballs anymore, but somehow he’s still the center of the emotional Super Bowl.
Irina Shayk has been turning Italy into her personal runway while Tom Brady has been busy collecting cheques from Fox Sports and playing the partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
The 38-year-old Russian beauty looked like she was destined to steal the show as she arrived at the d’Alba Gala Dinner in Italy. Rocking a short black dress with a deep V neckline, choker collar, and matching frilled black accessories — bag, shoes, attitude and all — Irina wasn’t just attending a dinner; she was launching a fashion offensive. Her Instagram story? “The best time with @dalba_russia 🤍🤍🤍” — because when you look that amazing, subtlety is dead and buried. She struck a pose in front of a poster that read “d’Alba Piedmont”, the skincare brand she’s been modeling for since 2024. Yes, Irina served as the face (and cheekbones) of the d’Alba’s new product line debut campaign.

Let’s rewind for a second — because Shayk’s history with d’Alba is not just a red-carpet gig. Last year in Milan, she showed up dripping in crystals for their product line presentation, a sparkly minidress and oversized black jacket combo that screamed model-off-duty-meets-goddess-on-duty. That glitzy minidress she wore in Milan? Gave serious flashbacks to her Met Gala 2024 look — a Swarovski crystal-drenched masterpiece built over 200 hours. Yes, you read that right. Two hundred hours. That’s not a dress, that’s a declaration.
And the aesthetics weren’t the only reason. Irina has been the face of d’Alba for a reason: d’Alba combines current innovation with traditional beauty secrets, bringing together Italian luxury and Korean skincare. d’Alba offers glow-up basics like the White Truffle First Aromatic Spray Serum and Waterfull Essence Sunscreen, which are powered by Italian white truffles, the brand’s hallmark ingredient. The brand offers a clean, high-performing line of cleansers, creams, toners, and even hair serums. It is completely vegan, cruelty-free, and V-label certified. The brand’s official home in Russia is @dalba_russia, and indeed, Irina Shayk is its face, transforming skincare advertisements into major fashion events.
And oh — Irina’s ability to network and shine was further demonstrated when she appeared in a picture with South Korean blogger Yana Pak at a dinner in Italy. That’s why it’s offering a “new chapter, same glow.” As for Tom Brady’s role in this glowing comeback, well, according to Page Six, they’re dating once more. Yes, after their 2023 short-lived fling fizzled faster than a fourth-quarter timeout, Irina and Brady have reportedly rekindled their connection. “They’ve started dating each other again and are open to seeing where things go,” said a source. Translation? We’re back in the era of Tom x Irina, Vol. 2: Glitter & Gala Edition.
But while Shayk’s turning gala nights into Instagram gold, someone else in Brady’s life is planning something a little more sacred — and a whole lot more permanent.

While Tom Brady reconnects, Gisele Bündchen plans her ‘Forever’
Things are starting to sound remarkably like wedding bells down in Gisele Land, which is Miami, Costa Rica, or wherever her radiance is now located. According to Life & Style, Gisele Bündchen and jiu-jitsu bae Joaquim Valente are not only going strong — they’ve added a baby boy to the mix and are now reportedly planning their wedding. Yeah, the real ceremony. Vows, a white dress, and perhaps even a beach scene without shoes. Oh, and they’ve recruited Gisele and Tom’s 12-year-old daughter Vivian to help with the planning.
What’s your perspective on:
Gisele's new life vs. Tom's rekindled romance—who's truly winning the post-divorce game?
Have an interesting take?
“They’re planning a wedding and Vivian is excited to help,” said a source, who also added that both kids — Vivian and Benjamin — are embracing their baby brother and warming up to Valente as the newest member of the family unit. So apparently, Gisele traded Sunday night stress for sunrise serenity — and hasn’t looked back. “He’s so different… much more chill and laid-back,” said the insider, describing Valente’s vibe compared to Brady’s famously intense energy. “Gisele says life with him is a lot more peaceful.” Translation: no more 4:30 a.m. TB12 alarms, and way more zen mornings.

But Tom Brady isn’t exactly pouting in the corner as Gisele is creating her new chapter in her family’s history. With a $375 million agreement at Fox Sports and a stake in the Raiders, the 47-year-old former quarterback is dominating his media career. And, when it comes to co-parenting, sources say it’s all love and respect between the exes. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, Gisele bears no ill will towards her ex. “They’re doing a great job co-parenting, and she hopes he finds happiness too.“
And perhaps, just possibly…with Irina, he’s actually finding that. Because in the Brady-Bündchen universe after their divorce, it doesn’t matter who won; rather, it matters who found love, serenity, and the best outfit in Italy. Even though Tom Brady is no longer playing football, his personal life continues to make headlines. One woman’s prepping wedding vows, another’s dripping in designer glam, and he’s caught right in the middle — looking like the GOAT of navigating high-profile exes.
