A memoir by Gavin Newsom claims Donald Trump once hoped Tom Brady would date Ivanka Trump and even shared her number with him. Brady reportedly left a message, but Ivanka never called back, as she was already in love with Jared Kushner. Brady later denied any romantic involvement, saying they never dated.
A fresh political memoir has revived an old piece of celebrity lore involving Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump. In Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery, Gavin Newsom recounts a 2018 helicopter ride with Donald Trump and Jared Kushner that took an unexpectedly personal turn. According to Newsom, Trump once hoped the NFL legend would date his daughter. The story hinges on a phone call that was made, and never returned.The anecdote surfaces years after the moment allegedly occurred, yet it adds another chapter to the intersection of politics, sports, and celebrity culture. Brady’s name, already tied to championship rings and high profile relationships, briefly entered the Trump family orbit. But as the memoir suggests, the idea never moved beyond a missed connection.
Did Tom Brady secretly contact Ivanka Trump during his marriage to Gisele Bündchen?
In the book, Gavin Newsom writes that during a function when Tom Brady was single, the quarterback asked Donald Trump for Ivanka’s phone number.
Donald Trump reportedly shared it. Brady called and left a message but Ivanka did not respond.
Newsom claims Donald Trump later confronted his daughter, saying, “Jesus, you know, Tom Brady. What the hell is going on? Why aren’t you calling this guy back?” Ivanka reportedly told her father she was already in love with Kushner.The memoir describes Donald Trump joking about the situation while pointing toward Kushner, adding, “Not even close, right, Gavin? Tom Brady.
Tom Brady.”Brady addressed the rumors years later during a 2020 appearance on The Howard Stern Show. Reflecting on the speculation, he said, “That was a long time ago in my life. Did I consider dating her? No, there was never really that where we ever dated or anything like that.”Ivanka Trump married Kushner in 2009 and they share three children. Kushner later served as a senior adviser during Trump’s presidency. Brady, meanwhile, built a Hall of Fame career, winning seven Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His personal life included relationships with Bridget Moynahan and a long marriage to Gisele Bündchen.If Newsom’s account is accurate, the episode was brief and awkward. A voicemail, a father’s enthusiasm, and a daughter’s firm choice. In the end, it became just another story in the long, intertwined history of American fame and power.
