It seems rumors about a new potential Hollywood romance involving Tom Brady and Reese Witherspoon are completely false, despite online users sharing their excitement for their apparent relationship. Representatives for the actress and the athlete have now revealed to Page Six that they are in fact not together, and they have never met in person.
Both Witherspoon and Brady have yet to publicly address the romance rumors. While the true origin of the rumor is unclear, it appears to have picked up some traction when it was shared in a blind item on the popular celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi back in March.

Witherspoon and Toth are parents to 10-year-old son Tennessee, while the actress also has two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe: daughter Ava Phillippe, 23, and son Deacon Phillipe, 19.
Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce following 13 years of marriage, and Witherspoon and Jim Toth, her husband of almost 12 years, announced their separation last month. She officially filed for divorce on March 30.

Bündchen added she has “no regrets” about her 13-year marriage to the superstar quarterback. “I loved every bit of it,” she told Vanity Fair .
