Kim Kardashian shocked fans when she appeared on Call Her Daddy and revealed juicy details about her personal life… but she decided to plead the fifth when pushed to spill on what really went down between her and Tom Brady.
The reality star joined host Alex Cooper for a candid chat, covering everything from alleged feuds with her sisters, her ‘toxic’ marriage to Kanye West and her colorful dating life.
Keen to get the gossip on her rumored dalliance with former NFL champ Brady, Cooper posed the question: ‘How serious were you and Tom Brady?’ Pushing for more she asked if it was ‘like a date?’
But the mother of four politely declined: ‘I’m not gonna answer that.’
The Skims founder, 42, and Brady, 45, first sparked dating rumors in 2023 after they attended billionaire Michael Rubin’s lavish Fourth of July party in the Hamptons.
At the time, an insider told the Daily Mail they were ‘super flirty’ and were seen ‘dancing all night,’ but Brady’s team denied the romance and insisted they were ‘just friends.’

Now, insiders have exclusively told the Daily Mail the truth, with one source insisting that it was ‘never a thing.’
‘Kim wants everyone to believe that there was something there and by playing coy, she got the reaction she wanted – for everyone to talk about it,’ they said.
She certainly played coy on the podcast, causing an uptick in conversation around the summertime flirtation. Fans were desperate to know if they were really together, especially since Brady was such a departure from Kardashian’s ex-husband, and the father of her four children, Kanye West.
Rapper West, 48, now known as Ye, was a marked change from her history of dating athletes, just like her reality star sisters. Most recently, she was linked to NFL player Odell Beckham Jr.
Kardashian dated former New Orleans Saints running back and current Fox Sports analyst, Reggie Bush, on and off from 2007 to 2010. She was also married to former NBA player for Kris Humphries for just 72 days in 2011.
Despite the intrigue around their flirtation, Kardashian and Brady were never together, according to our insider.
‘She shot her shot and they had a flirty vibe with each other but he wasn’t interested in making it into a relationship,’ the insider said, adding that there were ‘no hard feelings’ between the A-listers.
Now, the previously rumored couple still talks, but it’s mostly when they’re at the same event. They were together back in February 2025 when Kardashian appeared on Netflix special, The Roast of Tom Brady.

Kardashian, who was heckled, made sure to get her digs in, quipping: ‘I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might.’
The source said both parties were aware it wouldn’t work, because they ‘they lead two completely separate lives and they would struggle to let the other in.’
Brady is a father to three children, John ‘Jack’ Moynahan, 18, who he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, as well as Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, whose mother is supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 45.
They surprised the world when they split in 2022 after 13 years together with Bündchen quickly moving on with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The pair welcomed their first child back in February. Brady still lives nearby.
While the sportsman is currently single and ready to date, it’s unlikely it will be with Kardashian.
‘Tom realized that immediately and didn’t show much of any romantic interest in her, no matter what she would like to believe,’ the insider said.
