They’ve both recently split from their respective partners after marriages lasting over a decade each. They’re both famous and celebrities tend to move in similar circles, so it’s not so far out of the realm of possibility that Tom Brady and Reese Witherspoon were dating.
In a statement shared to social media on March 24, 2023, Witherspoon and Jim Toth announced their separation. “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,” they said. “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.” Meanwhile, Brady split from supermodel Gisele Bundchen confirmed their split on October 28, 2022, saying, “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.”
Given so many other celebrity hook-ups have stemmed from recent celebrity break-ups (Harry Styles and EmRata, anyone?), who could blame you for hoping or thinking Brady and Witherspoon were seeing each other?

Are Tom Brady and Reese Witherspoon dating? While the rumor mill has been in overdrive, both reps for Brady and Witherspoon have said emphatically that no, the former NFL superstar and Hollywood genius are not in a relationship, nor have they even met according to a source per People.
The rumor was started on the celebrity gossip Instagram account @deuxmoi, who received a tip from an anonymous source with the email address legallyblonde@patriotsbuccaneers.com, claimed an “A-list actress who JUST announced her divorce is newly dating A-list NFL athlete who is also recently divorced.” It’s important to remember that DeuxMoi herself—whoever she may be, her identity remains anonymous but we do know she’s from New York City—has never claimed the rumors circulated by her account are totally accurate. “I’ve always stayed true to what I said from day one, which is that this information is not proven to be based in fact,” she told the New York Times in 2020. “I don’t do any additional research. I’m not a reporter.”
