'Exhausting to spend time with': Tom Brady branded an man diva as insiders expose his troubled dating life after Gisele Bündchen split
Tom Brady is reportedly facing personal challenges post-retirement and divorce (Getty Images) Tom Brady may be a football legend with a near-spotless public image, but recent reports suggest that off the field, the retired NFL quarterback is facing personal challenges—and a growing reputation for diva-like behavior. At 46, the seven-time Super Bowl winner is finding life after football and marriage far more complex than fans might assume. Despite keeping busy with new ventures—including a broadcasting deal and part-ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders—Brady's personal life has become the subject of renewed scrutiny following his solo appearance at the 2024 Met Gala. Rumors of Tom Brady's rocky dating life grow louder behind the scenes At 46, the seven-time Super Bowl winner is finding life after football and marriage far more complex than fans might assume. Despite keeping busy with new ventures—including a broadcasting deal and part-ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders—Tom Brady's personal life has become the subject of renewed scrutiny following his solo appearance at the 2024 Met Gala. While Brady's public persona remains polished, sources close to him paint a more conflicted picture. According to a GLOBE Magazine report, those who've recently dated the football icon describe him as 'moody, self-centered, and exhausting to spend time with.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo One insider even claimed, 'He talks mostly about himself and often dwells on how unhappy he is.' Despite being linked to high-profile women like model Irina Shayk, Brady's private behavior is reportedly turning off potential love interests. The term 'man diva' is now circulating among insiders, used to describe his alleged sensitivity and demanding personality—traits that clash with his cool, collected image on the red carpet. Gisele Bündchen embraces a new chapter while Tom Brady remains emotionally stuck As Brady struggles to reconnect romantically, his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, appears to be thriving. The supermodel has moved on with her jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente, with reports suggesting the couple are enjoying a peaceful, family-centered life. The two are said to have even welcomed a new baby into their home, signaling a sense of stability and contentment. Meanwhile, Brady's bachelorhood has led some fans to speculate that he's choosing solitude. But insiders push back, insisting that he longs for genuine connection yet can't seem to find someone who fits into his world. His emotional baggage from his divorce and years in the spotlight may be casting a long shadow over his current relationships. What may surprise fans is how Brady's current struggles reveal a different side of the sports icon. As GLOBE Magazine notes, 'Greatness achieved through imperfection is far more inspiring than the effortless victories of someone seemingly flawless.'

Netflix top boss thought Sanjay Leela Bhansali pitched Heeramandi to them to be rejected: 'It almost felt like a dare'
When Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, was greenlit by Netflix, it was hailed as a landmark moment for Indian streaming. Bhansali has the legacy of being Indian cinema's most visually opulent showman. His films are larger-than-life and lavish. Hence, a series on the same scale was unthinkable. In a recent chat, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that he felt that the filmmaker almost wanted 'no' for an answer when he pitched the show. Speaking on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos talked about the scale of Heeramandi and said, 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.' Announced in 2021, Heeramandi took almost three years to make and produce before it was released on the platform in May 2024. 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema,' Sarandos added. Heeramandi is a fictional tale set in the famous red light district of Lahore in pre-Partition undivided India. Bhansali had initially conceived the story as a film in 2007. It was later revived as a show in which Bhansali wanted to cast Pakistani actors Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Imran Abbas. But those plans had to be shelved due to the virtual ban on Pakistani artists in India after 2016. Heermandi stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.

'Hopefully I'm somewhere close' — MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander channels Kobe Bryant's legacy in his defining 2025 NBA Finals moment
Image via Jesse D. Garrabrant and Andrew D. Bernstein/ Getty Images When Shai Gilgeous-Alexander steps onto the court, there's a quiet intensity that mirrors a familiar figure from NBA lore. With a scoring title, MVP trophy, and a deep playoff run under his belt, the Oklahoma City Thunder star has risen to the top of the league. But behind the accolades lies a poignant truth—SGA never got to meet his basketball idol, Kobe Bryant . And now, in the 2025 NBA Finals, he's doing everything he can to honor that legacy, one game at a time. From idol to inspiration: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander walks the path Kobe Bryant paved Before Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals tipped off in Oklahoma City, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander spoke candidly about the player who shaped his game from afar. 'Probably my favorite player of all time. I never had the chance to meet him,' SGA said on Saturday, referencing the late Kobe Bryant . 'His influence has gone through the roof, and his legacy will be remembered forever.' — TomerAzarly (@TomerAzarly) T by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo he two never crossed paths. Back in 2018–2019, during Shai's rookie season, Kobe was still alive, but Gilgeous-Alexander was just emerging in the league. When Bryant tragically passed away in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, SGA was entering his sophomore season, on the rise but still in the early stages of his NBA journey. Despite never meeting, their games echo one another. Over two decades, Kobe averaged 25.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. In comparison, through seven seasons, Shai is putting up 24.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.1 assists—eerily close numbers. His polished midrange game, foul-drawing craft, and obsessive work ethic have led teammates and fans alike to see the shades of Kobe in his play. 'There are a lot of similarities there,' Thunder teammate Jalen Williams said during media availability on Saturday. 'If you are really paying attention to basketball & watch the way he plays. He can pick certain aspects of [Kobe's] game and add his own touch to it.' Shai Gilgeous-Alexander channels Mamba mentality as Oklahoma City Thunder chase the NBA title On Thursday night in Oklahoma City, Gilgeous-Alexander delivered one of his best postseason performances yet, dropping 38 points, five rebounds, and five assists in Game 1. But the Thunder's hopes were dashed by a buzzer-beating dagger from Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. 'It happened so fast,' SGA said postgame. 'He got down doing right, pulled up from the middle, and knocked down the shot. I don't know, it didn't feel like anything crazy. He just made a play with time winding down.' With the Pacers now up 1–0 in the series and Game 2 still set to take place at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City before the series shifts to Indiana, Oklahoma City faces a daunting challenge. Yet, the kind of adversity demands the 'Mamba Mentality'—the same mindset Shai has tried to embody his entire career. His stats this season are Kobe-esque: 32.7 points per game (led the league), MVP and Western Conference Finals MVP honors, and 72 straight games scoring 20 or more. He's four wins from completing a feat not achieved since Shaquille O'Neal in 2000—winning a scoring title and NBA championship in the same season. The spirit of Kobe isn't just alive in highlight reels. It's active—alive—in the smooth rhythm of SGA's footwork, in his patient fadeaways, and in his drive for greatness. Also Read: NFL star Tom Brady picks Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant among his favourite NBA stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may never have spoken to Kobe Bryant, but through his style, grit, and ambition, he's building a legacy that reflects the very player who inspired it all. 'Hopefully I'm somewhere close to that as a basketball player one day,' he said. The who was Kobe, the where is Oklahoma City, and the when… is right now.
