Sofia Vergara celebrated her 53rd birthday in style, posting photos on social media that have ignited dating rumors with Tom Brady. The "Modern Family" star commemorated her special day with a series of posts featuring herself in a white bikini while vacationing in Sardinia.
In one photo, Vergara is seen sitting on the floor, surrounded by an array of floral arrangements, most likely birthday gifts. She accessorized with a gold choker and layered necklaces, her hair gently tousled. Another post offered a closer look at the flowers and a cake that read, "Feliz Cumpleaños". "Bday in Sardinia!!" she captioned the post.
The rumors of a potential romance between Vergara and Brady began swirling after they were reportedly seen "cozying up" aboard a luxury yacht during a star-studded European voyage. According to Page Six, the actress and NFL legend were spotted together on the Ritz-Carlton yacht. A source claimed Brady had asked to switch seats to sit next to Vergara at dinner and that they seemed very into each other. Vergara also shared a photo on her Instagram of herself seated next to Brady. In the picture, singer J Balvin is kissing Vergara on the forehead as she laughs with her eyes closed and Brady smiles at the camera.
However, multiple sources have since downplayed the dating speculation, telling TMZ that the two are "definitely not a couple" and are simply "having fun on a trip through Europe with a bunch of other celeb travelers". A source told the Daily Mail that Brady is enjoying being single and is not looking for a relationship, while another source claimed he sees Vergara as beautiful but isn't looking to start a relationship with her because she is older and "stuck in her ways". A representative for Brady refuted the claim that Brady would ever say Vergara was "too old" for him, calling the report "pure fiction".
Both Vergara and Brady are currently single, having recently gone through divorces. Vergara split from Joe Manganiello in July 2023 after seven years of marriage. In an interview with El País, Vergara said the marriage ended because Manganiello was younger and wanted to have kids, while she did not. Brady and Gisele Bündchen announced their divorce in October 2022.
Despite the denials, fans online have speculated whether Brady was the one who sent Vergara the flowers for her birthday. Some social media users commented on Vergara's Instagram post, wondering if the flowers were from Brady.
Whether or not there is any truth to the romance rumors, Sofia Vergara appears to be enjoying her summer vacation and celebrating her birthday in style.
