ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith appeared to grant Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian his blessing, despite claiming the pair are ‘just friends.’

Kardashian, 42, and Brady, 45, were initially reported to have been ‘super flirty with each other,’ at billionaire Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fourth Of July bash in the Hamptons.

However, DailyMail.com has since exclusively revealed that the pair ‘barely even spoke at the party’ with the NFL legend instead spending the evening glued to the side of Kardashian’s friend, model Emily Ratajkowski, 32.

And ESPN personality Smith has now confirmed that the former quarterback and reality TV mogul are nothing but friends. 

‘They’re just friends, ain’t nothing going on,’ Smith said Friday on his ‘Stephen A. Smith Show.’

‘My point is, what if it was? Now I don’t have a problem with that. Tom Brady, do your thing, bro.

‘He was married 13 years. Giselle Bundchen. The greatest runway walk that I have ever seen was at the Olympics in brazil years ago when that woman walked down that runway. Lord have mercy. That’s a walk! But he’s no longer with her.’

The sports analyst momentarily got distracted by a photo of SKIMS founder Kardashian at the party before getting back on track, adding: ‘If Tom Brady ends up, you know, getting his groove on, I’m quite sure we shouldn’t have a problem with that.

‘There’s absolutely, positively nothing wrong with Tom Brady if he was with Kim Kardashian.’

However, other sports personalities weren’t as enthusiastic of the rumored match with Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy launching into an expletive rant on Instagram Thursday.

‘If he wants to f**k her, go f**k her in a motel and gossip and tell your friends … We’re not dating the Kardashians, Tom,’ Portnoy said.

‘I can’t have this … It makes me want to puke.’

Rumors of a blossoming romance between the seven-time Super Bowl winner and Kardashian emerged in May when the businesswoman was reportedly seeking to purchase a holiday home near Brady’s in the Bahamas and were claimed to have gotten closer during the star-studded affair. 

However, those rumors were shut down with a source telling DailyMail.com that they ‘barely interacted at all.’

A well-placed source who attended the event told DailyMail.com: ‘I don’t know why there are all these rumors about Brady and Kim Kardashian – they barely interacted at all.’

The source added: ‘He actually spent the evening with Emily Ratajkowski – they were together most of the night and looked very cozy.

‘They didn’t leave together but if anyone was getting close, it was them.’

Like Kardashian, model Ratajkowski posted a pictures from the lavish bash on Tuesday but kept coy about her budding friendship with the NFL great – instead adding a video to her Instagram stories that showed her dancing through the sitting room of Rubin’s $50million Bridgehampton mansion.

DailyMail.com has approached Ratajkowski and Brady for comment.

Kardashian finalized her divorce from ex-husband Kanye West, with whom she shares four children, daughters North, 10, and Chicago, 5, and sons Saint, 7, and Psalm, 4, in November 2022, shortly after Brady and Brazilian model wife Gisele Bündchen, 42, announced their divorce after 13 years of marriage

Brady finalized his split from Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, 42, in April

Brady, who shares daughter Vivian, 10, and son Benjamin, 13, with Bundchen and 15-year-old son, Jack, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, finalized his split from the former Victoria’s Secret angel in April. 

However, Ratajkowski is still in the middle of a divorce battle after dumping ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, 36, last July after discovering he cheated on her and she filed for divorce in September with the pair now slugging it out for custody of their two-year-old son Sylvester.

In March, film producer Bear-McClard was hit by a string of sexual misconduct allegations, including one that emerged in a legal case over his firing from Uncut Gems that accused him of having a two-year relationship with a woman who was just 17 when it began in 2016. 

Another incident came during the filming of 2019’s Uncut Gems – and after Bear-McClard’s marriage to Ratajkowski – when he allegedly contacted an 18-year-old woman via Instagram and had sex with her in the marital apartment.

The same legal filing also claims he had begun messaging a 15-year-old girl on Instagram who later visited him on set.

Ratajkowski has never commented on her ex-husband’s behavior and has publicly moved on. In recent months, she has been linked to a string of high profile men, among them Pete Davidson – Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend – and Brad Pitt.

In March, exclusive DailyMail.com photos showed her passionately kissing Harry Styles, 29, outside a hotel in Tokyo where he was on tour.

The photos sparked immediate speculation over a possible rift with Styles’s ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde, 39, who was dumped by the British star in November – shortly after DailyMail.com exposed the truth about her affair with the singer.

In an interview with Spanish Vogue in April, Ratajkowski described the photos going viral as ‘bizarre’ and something she hadn’t expected to happen.

She said: ‘It’s very bizarre to have certain experiences and then have the whole world know about them and comment on them.

‘I’m just a person who’s gone from a three-year relationship to a four-year relationship. So this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a dating stage.’

Ratajkowski added: ‘The interest there is in that particular area is very strange. Not that I’m surprised, but it’s a tiny slice of my life. Most of my life is focused on my son and my work.’

Discussing the Styles photos, she told the outlet: ‘I didn’t expect this to happen. I think, in general, there’s a reason certain celebrities live in [Los Angeles], hire security, don’t go to public restaurants.

‘The idea of giving [my freedom] up for the sake of privacy is something I haven’t considered yet.’
