Kim Kardashian quietly backed off, and dating’s still a struggle for Tom Brady—as insiders claim he’s not over Gisele Bündchen. Despite their split, sources say Brady is “romantically paralyzed,” still caught in the shadow of his ex.

Tom Brady might have conquered the football world, but his personal life seems to be stuck at the line of scrimmage. Nearly three years after his high-profile divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen, the 47-year-old seven-time Super Bowl champion is reportedly struggling to find lasting chemistry in the dating scene—and insiders claim it’s largely his own doing.

Despite Tom Brady’s fame, fortune, and elite athlete looks, sources say his emotional baggage is pushing away even the most interested women. According to RadarOnline.com, “Word’s getting around that Tom’s a whiny, flaky man diva and not much fun to be around.” The report paints a picture of a man still caught up in the past, unable to move on from his former relationship.

Women who have gone on dates with Brady, insiders claim, often come away unimpressed—not because he’s not attractive or successful, but because the former quarterback can’t stop talking about how miserable he is.

“He whines about his ex and it just puts off any potential partners,” one source told Radar.The emotional wallowing hasn’t just affected his everyday dating prospects—it’s allegedly soured potential flings with A-list celebrities too. Even Kim Kardashian, once rumored to be flirting with the idea of dating the NFL star, has supposedly backed off. “Even Kim Kardashian has given up the idea of dating him because he’s wallowing around,” the source noted.

While Bündchen enjoys a reportedly fulfilling relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and embraces a modern, blended family dynamic, Brady’s romantic life has remained stagnant. Friends say his current behavior is only making things worse. “When he is on dates, he just talks about himself and how miserable he is,” one insider added. “That is never attractive to the opposite sex.”
