Kim Kardashian has a 'crush' on Tom Brady, claim friends

American TV personality Kim Kardashian has reportedly told her friends that she "has a crush' on football star, Tom Brady but the two are 'not in a relationship'.

The 42-year-old Skims founder and Brady, 45, "are friends and have a lot of respect for each other," a source told PEOPLE. 

Nothing romantic is going on between Kim and Tom, though Kanye West's ex-wife does have a "crush" on the athlete.

Kim and Brady fueled their romance rumours as the two attended Michael Rubin's star-studded White Party in The Hamptons over the Fourth of July weekend.

The pair had minimal interaction at the festive gathering. "[They] said hi briefly when she arrived at the party," a source told the same outlet.

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

"Kim and Tom barely even spoke at the party and barely even said hello," a separate source told the publication.

It's being claimed that Kim and Tom are friends and have a lot of respect for each other as the reality star Kim is very focused on her kids after her recent splits and, and not in a relationship right now.

On the other hands, Tom's reps have reportedly also denied rumours about the pair's affair: "They have friends and business partners in common, but are not dating."

Brady recently finalized his divorce from wife Gisele Bündchen in October 2022. The pair — who share daughter Vivian, 10, and son Benjamin Rein, 13 — had been married for 13 years. While, Kardashian, who split from Davidson in August 2022 after nine months together, expressed hope for her romantic future.

"I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic and always want to be in love and definitely love sharing my life with someone, and love creating a life with someone," she said in May on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.

Meanwhile an insider, who attended the Fanatics CEO's annual white party, told OK magazine that the football star and the Skims founder were "super flirty with each other," alleging the duo was "seen during the day on the beach together and again dancing at night."
