Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara set tongues wagging last week after it was reported they are enjoying a ‘summer romance’.
The pair were first spotted getting cozy on Ritz-Carlton’s superyacht ‘Luminara’ off the Italian coast after Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding.
The NFL legend was said to have specifically requested to sit next to the actress at dinner during an exclusive two-day voyage – and the pair have since been seen spending time together in Ibiza.
But the Daily Mail can now reveal that any romance was short-lived. The pair are not officially dating – and Brady, 47, has made it clear that he is keen to stay single.
What’s more, in a brutal blow to Vergara, 52, it is said that the quarterback can only take her in ‘small doses’.
A source tells us: ‘Tom loves being single and is enjoying his summer before he starts working again and he is not looking for a relationship. He is always weighing his options when it comes to dating anyone. “Options” being the operative word.
‘He’s not looking to be settled down right now. He wants to just have fun. Flings and hookups are cool, but if anyone thinks they can have more with him right now, good luck!’
Brady remains in phenomenal shape three years on from his NFL retirement, and he is soon to be heading into the second year of his lucrative 10-year, $375million analyst contract with Fox.

The pair’s ‘summer romance’ will not lead to a longer-term relationship, a source has revealed
None of which is to say, however, that he and Vergara haven’t been enjoying each other’s company on the party island of Ibiza.
On Vergara, our Brady source says: ‘He sees Sofia as beautiful and his type, but he isn’t going to start a relationship with her as she is older and stuck in her ways. He knows he could only take her in small doses.
‘Sofia’s Colombian heritage is sexy, and hanging out with her and other sexy people on a yacht can be intoxicating, but Tom is not going to bring his work home with him if you catch my drift.
‘If Sofia has any thought that she is going to be in a relationship with Tom, she would be the only one with that thought… nobody should start thinking of celebrity relationship names for them because it is not something that is going to happen.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Brady and Vergara’s representatives for comment.

She was recently linked to 40-year-old F1 star Lewis Hamilton.
Rumors of a potential romance between the Vergara and Brady first surfaced last week, when they enjoyed a star-studded trip of the Luminara superyacht and were joined by the likes of models Naomi Campbell and Kendall Jenner.

Vergara has been keeping her fans updated this summer, sharing a stream of bikini posts to her Instagram.
On Wednesday, she showed off her enviable bottom in a new image shared to her Insta Stories. She was modeling a multi-colored one-piece swimsuit.
Last month, she gave an insight into what she’s looking for in her next relationship, saying she wants her next boyfriend to be as rich as she is. The Modern Family actress is worth a reported $180 million.
‘I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it’s a nightmare. They end up resenting you,’ she said.
Brady, coincidentally, has an estimated net worth of $530million.
