The response came after rumors began circulating about Brady’s supposed thoughts on dating the Modern Family star. According to Page Six, the story gained attention following reports of a possible romance between Brady, 47, and Vergara, 53, who were spotted together during a luxury yacht cruise from Rome recently. The two celebrities were part of a star-studded guest list aboard the Luminara superyacht. “Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this. It is pure fiction,” Brady’s representative told People magazine on Thursday, firmly shutting down the allegations about Brady’s views on Vergara’s age.

However, witnesses noted that Brady and Vergara seemed particularly focused on each other during the gala dinners. Following the cruise, both celebrities were seen spending time in Ibiza, Spain. Vergara, who just celebrated her 53rd birthday on Thursday, has been actively sharing her summer activities on social media, posting photos and videos of herself enjoying music by DJ Calvin Harris. Brady was also spotted in Ibiza recently, spending time with his daughter Vivian, whom he shares with his former wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, as Brady continues navigating life after their divorce. Before his Ibiza trip, the retired NFL star attended the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, showing that both he and Vergara have been enjoying their time in Europe this summer.
