Tom Brady takes steamy shower and shows off ripped physique on yacht in Ibiza amid Sydney Sweeney links
Tom Brady left little to the imagination as he enjoyed a steamy outdoor shower and was spotted unwinding on a luxurious yacht off the coast of Ibiza on Friday. The NFL icon, who was heavily linked with actress Sydney Sweeney during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding festivities in Venice last week, wore a pair of tiny swim shorts as he tried to relax. As a result, the 47-year-old's incredibly muscular frame was on full show and he seemed only too happy to bare all as he topped up his tan. Brady's six pack and muscular legs were on full display as he showed no sign of letting his physique decline during retirement. The former New England Patriots star did leave his sun lounger at one point, hopping into the ocean with a similarly ripped, but unknown, guest and two girls to go snorkeling as the yacht's staff watched on. Once Brady had returned to the comfort of the vast seating area, the seven-time Super Bowl cleaned himself up with an outdoor shower on the yacht's edge. Tom Brady left little to the imagination as he relaxed on a yacht off the coast of Ibiza on Friday Brady looked ripped as he cleaned himself up with an outdoor shower on the yacht's edge Brady looked shredded in his shorts and made a beeline for the water to try and cool down The 6ft 4ins former New England Patriots quarterback showed off his muscular physique He did seem to be in deep thought at one stage, hanging his legs off the edge of the boat and staring out onto the horizon. Brady eventually returned to the comfortable seating in the boat's outdoor lounge area and seemed to put his headphones in as he tried to switch off. It comes a week after Brady sparked rumors of a possible romance with Hollywood star Sweeney, with reports claiming the pair danced together during the party, which is said to have lasted until 2am. TMZ also claimed that he was 'chatting up' Sweeney at the hotel bar. Brady also enjoyed a day out with actors Orlando Bloom and Leonard Di Caprio in Venice, with the three seen sipping on cocktails poolside. Brady and Bloom were also pictured wandering the streets of Venice alongside Sweeney, with the White Lotus star described as the 'most sought after person' at the party. 'Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life,' a source said. She and Brady sent social media into meltdown after reports suggested they struck up a possible romance. Brady's friend, who was in similar pristine physical condition, joined him for some sunbathing But a source claimed the former quarterback 'danced with everyone' at the wedding - not just Sweeney but also model Brooks Nader, to whom he was briefly linked last year. Brady got an invite to the wedding because the former quarterback and Amazon billionaire Bezos are believed to have grown close over the past few years, having become neighbors at Indian Creek in Miami. Indian Creek Island is called 'Billionaire's Bunker' because of the high number of celebrities who reside there, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. Brady resides in his newly-completed mansion on the island, which is believed to be worth a staggering $150million following its lengthy construction. He bought the plot for $17m five years ago with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen with the intention of making it their forever home. However, the couple divorced in October 2022 before the property's completion. Meanwhile, Bezos set property values rocketing on the VIP enclave when he forked out $90m on his third home there last year. Brady did take time out of his vacation in Ibiza to post a touching birthday message to his mom, Galynn, who turned 79 on Friday. He wrote: 'This is one of the most important birthdays today! Happy Birthday, Mom. 'Thank you for being someone our family could always count on. Your strength and determination and love and selflessness knows no bounds. We are so lucky to have a mom that leads by example. 'Today we celebrate not just everything you've done, but for the incredible person you are. We love you so much, and we're beyond grateful for every moment we get to share with you. Happy Birthday! And happy birthday to America! Everyone have a great 4th of July'. Soon Brady will return to his day job as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports. The former Patriots and Buccaneers star is preparing for the second season of a 10-year, $375million deal. Brady is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and he recently explained his role with the team. I'm just a limited partner, so [owner] Mark [Davis] is the boss,' Brady said in an interview with Paul Gutierrez of the team's website. 'And then [head coach] Pete [Carroll] does his job and Spy [GM John Spytek] does his job and, I think, we trust them to make the right decisions. I'm there as a great sounding board for anything they want to do.'
