While Gronk believes his longtime friend and former teammate has his personal life under control, he did share last month that he thinks Brady needs in a partner.
On "Today with Jenna & Sheinelle" on Sept. 24, Gronk shared that Brady needs a partner who is "sweet," has a "great soul and "very positive energy."
Gonk then jokingly told hosts Sheinelle Jones and Justin Sylvester, "Someone like my mother." After he made the comparison, he quickly clarified after realizing what he said, "Not my mom, but someone like my mom."
He did believe his Mom would enjoy that concept, stating that his Mom would be like, "'That’s the best birthday present ever!'"

Since his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen after 13 years of marriage, he was briefly linked to model Irina Shayk in 2023.
He has since been fueling romance rumors with Alix Earle, following their attendance at a St. Barth's New Year's Eve party and a pre-Super Bowl party in San Francisco in February. Brady has not publicly acknowledged the rumor.
Following his 49th birthday in August, he was seen with an unidentified blonde woman in the South of France.
