Apparently, Tom Brady has never dated Ivanka Trump, despite her father’s strong desire to set the two up, the ex-New England Patriots champ revealed during The Howard Stern Show. The radio host openly addressed Brady on the issue, visibly taking the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback by surprise with his question, which led to some confusion and uncomfortable laughs on the footballer’s part.
“Trump always dreamed of you marrying Ivanka, and he told me he suggested it to you — but did you ever go out with her?”, Stern asked Brady, while referring to what he claims was a recorded conversation between him and the future US president back in the early 2000s.
“That was a long time ago in my life…No, there was never that, where we ever dated or anything like that,” Brady replied, quickly changing the subject to talk about his daughter Vivian from the marriage with his model wife Gisele Bundchen.
But Stern was not ready to give up.
“I know it’s weird, but Trump wanted that. He wanted Tom Brady to, let’s face it, bang Ivanka and form a relationship, a power dynasty. You know that, you know I’m not making that up,” the radio show host continued.
“He never suggested that to me,” said the six-time Super Bowl winner after a slightly uneasy laugh. “Look, it all worked out for me anyway, I married the woman of my dreams,” the footballer continued, referring to his wife of 11 years Gisele Bündchen. “'I think I married the most amazing woman, so I have no regrets.”
“I could see you rather than Jared Kushner with Ivanka, honestly. I really could,” noted Stern, who has never been an outspoken fan of Kushner and earlier lambasted the presidential advisor for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the Unite States.
In a 2004 interview with Playboy, Trump publicly suggested that Brady would make a “great combination” with his second child Ivanka.
Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner in 2009 – the same year Tom Brady tied the knot with Bündchen – and the couple has three children together.
