After Tom Brady and Irina Shayk’s fling in 2023 came to an end, rumours are swirling that the two have rekindled their connection and are giving their relationship another shot. A source revealed to Life & Style, that this time around, they might be ready to make it last.
A source reported to Life & Style, “The timing was off before. Neither of them was fully over their exes when they first got together. Now, they’re both in better head spaces.” The insider noted that despite their romance ending in 2023, the two “never stopped caring about one another,” adding, “whatever spark they had two years ago is back.”
Another source alleged to the media outlet that “Tom and Irina have started dating each other again and are open to seeing where things go.”
Brady and Shayk first sparked dating rumours in the summer of 2023 after meeting at Joe Nahmad’s wedding in Sardinia, Italy. At the time, a source claimed to OK! Magazine, “The wedding was crawling with A-listers, but Irina made a beeline for Tom. She made the first move and pretty much seduced him — not that he wasn’t willing!”
Brady and Shayk’s brief romance came to an end in October 2023 after just a few months of dating. Shayk, who shares a daughter, Lea De Seine, with her ex-partner Bradley Cooper, and Brady, who finalized his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in October 2022, are both adjusting to life as single parents. While their relationship didn’t last long, it seems that there may still be a spark between the two.
The quarterback recently shared a cryptic note about relationships after Bündchen announced the birth of her newborn baby boy with Joaquim Valente in February. The quote posted by Brady read, “I really think the secret to being loved is to love. And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to have others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.”

The teaser for Another Simple Favour was released on February 26. The film stars Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding, and Michele Morrone. In the teaser of one minute 38 seconds, we see that Another Simple Favour takes place after the events of the first film, and will follow Stephanie Smothers (Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Lively) as they reunite on the Italian island of Capri for Emily’s lavish wedding to a wealthy businessman, played by Michele Morrone. However, the event takes a dark turn, with “murder and betrayal” set to unfold.
The film is directed by Paul Feig, who also helmed A Simple Favour, the first installment in the series. Written by Jessica Sharzer and Laeta Kalogridis, Another Simple Favour is bankrolled by Paul Feig and Laura Fischer. The film’s cinematography is done by John Schwartzman and the music is by Theodore Shapiro.
Anna Kendrick was most recently seen in Woman of the Hour, which was also directed by her. Blake, on the other hand, was last seen in It Ends With Us, opposite Justin Baldoni and Brandon Sklenar.
Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) has written a book on all the incidents that took place with her mysterious friend (Emily played by Blake Lively), in the first part. The revenge plot is about to get all the more intense, as Emily invites Stephanie to her wedding.
When Stephanie feels suspicious about Emily’s return and the intentions she has on her mind, Emily asks her, “Do you think I invited you to get revenge? For stealing my life and taking my kid away from me.”
Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, Ian Ho, and Kelly McCormack, are all reprising their roles in the sequel.
The excitement around Another Simple Favour is quite high, the first part received a positive response with Blake’s sinister onscreen personality leaving the audience impressed.
Currently in post production, Another Simple Favour arrives on May 1 on Prime Video.

Hollywood star Ellen Pompeo has been looking back on past remarks made about her weight and physique. In an exclusive interview with People, she recalled the “brutal” criticism she faced from tabloids when she was a young actress.
“The tabloids would say horrible things. I just remember being so anxious on red carpets, and the comments about my weight and my body. I’m so glad, maybe, hopefully things have changed, because it was much, much more brutal 20 years ago,” the Grey’s Anatomy star shared.
Ellen went on to explain that during that time, she was extremely thin and disliked it, yet many assumed she had an eating disorder. “It was a whole situation with how skinny I was, and there was so much negative attention. Girls today can be gorgeous and thin and thank God we’re not allowed to comment on women’s bodies, even though people do. But I just had so much anxiety and lacked self-esteem because people were so critical of my physicality,” she said.
Ellen’s acting career took off when she was cast as Dr Meredith Grey in Grey’s Anatomy, a role she played since the show’s debut in 2005. She departed as a series regular in its nineteenth season but has remained involved as both a producer and narrator.
Having established herself in the entertainment industry, Ellen expressed her commitment to advocating for women to speak out against inequalities. “I sit in a seat of enormous privilege,” she said. “As a White woman, as a working actress, as a person who’s super well-compensated. If people that sit with privilege can’t use it to better the lives of others, you really don’t deserve it.”
Pompeo is set to star in the forthcoming limited series, Good American Family, which is inspired by the true-crime case of Natalia Grace, a girl born with a rare form of dwarfism.

Bianca Censori recently defended her husband, Kanye West, after his string of hate-filled and controversial posts on X. She wrote a note on the social media platform where she shared thoughts on Kanye’s rant and also defended him.
Expressing concern for Kanye, Bianca wrote,”Lord, I lift up my husband to You with love & concern. Soften his heart, guide his words, and fill him with wisdom and kindness. Protect him from trouble & lead him toward understanding & respect for all people (sic).”
She also wrote that she loves him unconditionally despite all their differences and issues, “Despite our differences, I love him unconditionally. Strengthen our bond & help me be a source of patience & encouragement. I trust in Your grace to work in his heart.God Bless Israel and All The Good Jewish Pple. Amen (sic).”
While some fans expressed their scepticism, other supported her. A fan wrote, “Well, this confirms it’s him writing everything (sic).” However, another fan wrote, “I’ve followed ye for years and have loved his music, I hope he finds his way back to god, sorry you’re going through this (sic).”
Earlier, Friends star David Schwimmer also reacted to Kanye’s hate-filled posts on Instagram. The veteran TV star wrote, “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk. Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews (sic).”
Kanye and his wife Bianca made headlines at the Grammys, where she stepped out in a sheer, see-through, almost nude outfit. The former then defended his wife’s look on X saying that he was proud to have a ‘smart, talented, brave, and hot’ wife.

Hollywood star Tom Cruise’s ‘physically punishing’ stunt for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning required him to wear a specially designed suit and mask, usable for only 10 minutes at once. He also revealed that he breathed his own carbon dioxide during the stunt.
During his interview with Empire magazine, Tom Cruise said, “I’m breathing in my own carbon dioxide. It builds up in the body and affects the muscles. You have to overcome all of that while you’re doing it, and be present.” For the action scene, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt explores a sunken submarine, filmed in an “8.5 million-litre water tank on a gimbal that rotates on command,” reported Empire.
Mission: Impossible franchise’s director Christopher McQuarrie narrated the scene as “challenging, terrifying and really physically punishing” for Tom Cruise. “He’s in a rotating structure filled with debris, and you had to find a way to make that environment look as chaotic and unhinged as humanly possible. But in a way that you could repeat, and that Tom could navigate, and survive”, said McQuarrie.
This underwater sequence is not the first time Tom Cruise has dived deep for the franchise. In Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), the actor performed another underwater stunt where he held his breath for about six-and-a-half minutes.
In an earlier interview with Empire, Tom Cruise revealed that he frequently passed out while filming another action sequence for the upcoming film, which required him to dangle off the side of a flying aeroplane.
He said, “When you stick your face out [of an aeroplane], going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen. So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit.”
Helmed by Christopher McQuarrie, the final installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is set for a worldwide release on May 23, 2025. The film also stars Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, Katy O’Brian, and Tramell Tillman.
