Did a member of 98.5 The Sports Hub date the greatest quarterback of all time, TOM BRADY?
Brady, the now-retired quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion, has been making headlines since late last year, not only for his performance on the field but also for his personal life. After announcing his divorce from Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, the NFL icon has become one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, sparking speculations about his dating life. One such rumor involved someone who recently joined Boston’s sports hub, 98.5 The Sports Hub.

Kendra Middleton, co-host of Over/Under 98.5 alongside Dan Lifshatz, openly expressed her admiration for Brady. However, despite the initial buzz, there might be more to this story.
Quick recap: Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s separation last October marked the end of a 13-year marriage between the power couple. With the divorce came various rumors and speculations, particularly about who Brady might date next. Gisele Bündchen herself was seen spending time with her jiu-jitsu coach, Joaquim Valente, during a vacation in Costa Rica, but Tom Brady remained relatively distant from public romantic involvements.
During that time, Kendra made headlines when she candidly shared her admiration for Tom Brady with the New York Post.
“Obviously, he’s very physically attractive, but his work ethic is awesome — I love it,” said Middleton, “Like, he’s so dedicated to his craft that he doesn’t even eat tomatoes, you know what I mean?”
Despite growing up as a Jacksonville Jaguars fan, Middleton revealed that Tom Brady had always been her first football crush and assumed that the NFL player would quickly move on to another high-profile relationship, considering his status as a sports legend.
After that, the internet ran with it and declared Kendra Middleton as Tom Brady’s latest fling!
After Tom and Gisele’s divorce, rumors began to swirl. According to the New York Post, several women, including Playboy model Sara Blake, Brazilian model Mayara Lopes, and science researcher Bobbi Stark, were said to be interested in the quarterback. All these speculations have captured the public’s attention, especially Tampa Bay and New England fans.
He and Gisele Bündchen have made it clear that their children, Benjamin and Vivian, remain their top priority, even after their separation.
After all the articles and tweets (some of them not-so-nice), Kendra took to social media to clarify the dating rumors and unequivocally stated that she is not dating Tom Brady, putting an end to the speculation. It appears that the initial reports of a budding romance were unfounded, and Brady may not even know the young journalist personally.
I never thought I would have to say this on the internet, but yes I have seen all of the articles. And no, I am not dating Tom Brady 😂

While the rumor mill continues to swirl around Tom Brady’s dating life post-divorce, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction. Kendra’s admiration for the NFL superstar may have sparked the initial speculation, but her recent statement on social media confirms that she is not romantically involved with Brady. That being said, it’s still a pretty funny and interesting story for Kendra.
