Tom Brady is excited about his new rumored romance with Irina Shayk and wants to make it work.

A source said that the NFL player sees the model as someone with whom he could have a “future” and who he could show to his children.

After Gisele Bundchen, his wife of 13 years, left him almost a year ago, Brady was seen getting close to Bradley Cooper’s ex-wife after she spent the night at his Los Angeles home.

Before, it was said that Shayk couldn’t take her eyes off Brady at a wedding they both went to in Sardinia in May. However, the model put an end to all those rumors.

But after Brady was caught on tape stroking the Russian bombshell’s cheek during their most recent PDA-filled public appearance, the rumors began up again.

An source told Daily Mail, “Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about.”

“She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work,” said the source. “He always told himself after his divorce that he would only get involved with someone that a future could be made, someone he could eventually introduce to his kids.”

“He really thinks very highly of her and where this relationship could go. He has zero worry with her, they seem to get each other and get along quite well,” the person said.

Another source said that the couple is still in touch after their wedding in May and that they are “dating and having fun.”
