At 71 years old, Gayle King isn't shy about what she wants. The CBS Mornings veteran recently made a very public move for Tom Brady, and the internet is taking notice.
During a recent interview with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, King didn't hold back when Goldstein mentioned he was writing a movie for her. She cut straight to the chase: would it include a romance with the seven-time Super Bowl champion?
“Do I fall in love with Tom Brady? No, does he fall in love with me?” King asked, before adding, “You’re very good at manifesting.” She then joked with Goldstein about reaching out to Brady to let him know about her crush.
This isn't the first time King has hinted at her interest. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she admitted to having a crush on an unnamed former NFL player, describing someone around Brady's age. “I just saw Tom Brady, and I had to stop myself from going, ‘You are so good-looking,’” she said. “He’s also terrific. Tom will appreciate the sense of humor.”
King has been happily single since her divorce from William Bumpus in 1993. Brady, meanwhile, split from Gisele Bundchen in 2022 after nearly 15 years of marriage and has been seen dating publicly, including with Irina Shayk and Alix Earle.

King's playful approach has sparked conversations about age and romance in the public eye. Unlike Brady's more discreet outings, King is putting her interest front and center. It's a bold move that has fans wondering if the NFL legend might just take the bait.
While Brady has been linked to several high-profile women, King's wit and charm could be a refreshing change. After all, she's not just a TV host—she's a cultural icon with a sharp sense of humor. Whether this leads to a real-life romance or just a good story, King has certainly thrown her hat in the ring.
In related news, Brady has been making headlines off the field too. He recently sparked outrage with a comment about Texas Tech, which you can read about here. And if you're curious about other celebrity sports romances, the Tyreek Hill family drama is also turning heads.
For now, all eyes are on Brady to see if he responds to King's very public invitation. Will he take the shot? Only time will tell.
