• When Reese Witherspoon announced her divorce in mid-March, rumors about her dating Tom Brady immediately began circulating online.
  • And now, both Reese and Tom have debunked the gossip through their reps.
  • Apparently, the Oscar winner and the athlete have ever even met!

Attention: Reese Witherspoon and Tom Brady have officially debunked dating rumors! Well, given the fact they're both mega A-listers, Reese and Tom's reps debunked the rumors. But same diff!

A refresher: After Reese announced her divorce from husband Jim Toth on March 24, gossip almost immediately began circulating online that she and Tom were seeing each other. But earlier this month, both the actor and former footballer's reps told Today the romance rumors are completely untrue. And to really make it clear, Reese's rep also denied the allegations to E! News, while a spokesperson for Tom did the same to People—with a source *also* dishing to the outlet that the Oscar winner and the athlete have never even met! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reese and Jim recently split after nearly 12 years of marriage, with the pair writing in a joint statement, “We have some personal news to share...It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce. We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together.”

They added, “Our biggest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter. These matters are never easy and are extremely personal. We truly appreciate everyone's respect for our family's privacy at this time.” The former pair, who got married in 2011, share 10-year-old son Tennessee. (Reese also shares daughter Ava and son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.)

As for Tom, he and supermodel Gisele Bündchen jointly announced their own separation back in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. In an Instagram Story at time, the footballer wrote, “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration.”

Even more recently, Gisele herself finally broke her silence on the breakup—both on where she stands today and what actually led to the split. “It's like a death and a rebirth,” she confessed in a March interview with Vanity Fair, explaining that she'd been mourning “the death of my dream.”

“It's tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?” she continued. “I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it's beautiful to believe in that. I mean, I'm so grateful I did.” The model also addressed the rumors about the supposed reason why she and Tom ultimately divorced, calling the allegations that it had to do with him returning to football “very hurtful” and “the craziest thing I've ever heard." In reality, the athlete's career was apparently “one piece of a much bigger puzzle.”

TL;DR: Reese and Tom are fully not a thing. Next!
