Tom Brady's private life is once again in focus after a former Miss Slovakia declared her "love" for the NFL legend on Instagram as she celebrated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback in a number of posts.
The 45-year-old and seven-time Super Bowl winner divorced his wife of 13 years, Gisele Bundchen, a couple of months ago, and rumors have been rife that he might hook up with a new girlfriend.
Step forward Veronika Rajek, a 26-year-old model with 3.3 million Instagram followers, who has gushed over Brady, and fans of the NFL star are convinced that she is his new flame, despite her not-so-subtle hints on social media bordering on fandom rather than a potential loving relationship.
Brady has made no comment on the situation.
Rajek shared pics of her wearing a replica Brady jersey while watching the G.O.A.T. help the Bucs complete a 13-point comeback win over New Orleans Saints.
Brady found Rachaad White with a pressure touchdown pass with just seconds remaining, to seal the victory.
Rajek posted: "I saw the LEGEND and if somebody asks me again if I love Brady, yes I love him, and show me somebody who doesn't.
"Even his haters love him because they know he is the [goat emoji]. Thank you for an amazing show #GOATFOREVER."
It certainly had followers of the pair speculating that they could be getting together with comments on Twitter and Instagram alluding to a relationship.
One person commented: "Tell me your applying for that new wifey role without telling me your applying for that new wifey role."
Another added: "I'd like to congratulate Tom Brady for finding a new girlfriend after his tragic divorce."
Others were unimpressed, with one writing: "I think it is so tasteless on your part, its not like this post is coming off as a sports fan. Appears to me your throwing yourself at a newly single famous man. Hope I am incorrect."
Who is Veronika Rajek?
Rajek began her modelling career when she was 16 and won Miss Summer 2015 and Miss Slovakia 2016 in her native country.
She is now a social media influencer with more than 3.3 million followers on Instagram alone, with a number of well-known musicians, actors and athletes among her followers.
Rajek specializes in modelling swimwear and lingerie and has worked with Dolce and Gabbana, Blumarine, Vera Wang, Hide & Jack, Moschino and Philip Plain among others.
She claims to be the first Slovak Instagram model to have surpassed one million followers without showing her naked body.
Rajek is not the first to be linked to Brady since his divorce was made public and there were many rumors that he had hooked up with golf influencer Paige Spiranac.
The 29-year-old eventually put the rumor to bed by denying that she didn't even know Brady, let alone be dating him.
She admitted: "I am getting this question so much. No I am not dating Tom Brady! I have never met him, I don't know him."
Newsweek has reached out to Rajek for comment and Tom Brady has not publicly commented about any relationships since divorcing Bundchen.
