Many people have been stunned and intrigued by the potential of this unexpected pairing, which was first reported by Perez Hilton and DeuxMoi.
Last week, Witherspoon revealed her divorce from her spouse of 12 years, Jim Toth, on Instagram. Soon after, an unidentified source sent DeuxMoi an email with the topic “Epic and unexpected celeb couple.”
The message inside stated, “A-list actress who JUST announced her divorce is newly dating A-list NFL athlete who is also recently divorced.” The tipster used the email address [email protected] to further suggest the couple in question, referencing Witherspoon’s renowned movie and Brady’s two NFL teams.
While neither Witherspoon nor Brady has verified the rumors, social media users have expressed mixed feelings about the new couple. Some people think the combination is “random,” while others believe it “makes sense.”

Common Ground A Bonding Experience
The two celebrities share a love of sports, with Witherspoon earlier supporting the Tennessee Titans. Furthermore, both personalities are coping with the aftermath of their recent high-profile divorces, giving them something in common to bond over.
It’s worth mentioning that Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen’s divorce was only completed in October 2022, and the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB looked to be very unhappy about it. Fans surmised that the enigmatic quotation he shared about “false friends” and “betrayal” was in reaction to Bündchen’s frank interview about their relationship in the April 2023 edition of Vanity Fair.
On the other hand, Witherspoon’s split from Toth was allegedly a long time coming, with sources claiming that their marriage had “zero sparks” for quite some time. The performer reportedly knew about Toth’s “wandering eye” for years, but chose to terminate the marriage when he became more careless with his infractions.
