Tom Brady announces retirement 'for good' this time

The woman loosely linked with NFL champion Tom Brady has poured fuel on the blazing rumours with a cryptic Instagram post.

Veronika Rajek, a 26-year-old Slovakian model, has become a cult hero with Tampa Bay fans this year with her gushing messages for the quarterback.

Rajek’s public declarations of love for the retiring NFL legend led to comments from fans accusing her of flirting with Brady after his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen.

Brady and Bündchen, 42, announced in late October they had finalised their divorce after 13 years of marriage.

Shortly after the seven-time Super Bowl champion, 45, confirmed that he’s walking away from football after 23 seasons on Wednesday morning, Rajek and Bundchen both posted messages on social media.

The cryptic nature of Rajek’s post has sparked another wave of speculation about her potential romantic link with the former New England Patriots star.

“So hard to retire from beach days, so enjoy while they last,” she wrote alongside five photos of her modelling a red bikini during a beach photo-shoot.

She also shared a message on her Instagram stories referring to “new beginnings”.

The post to her 3.5 million followers has left some fans scratching their heads.

Her number of followers has exploded ever since her first message for Brady as she visited Tampa Bay to watch him play recently.

“I saw the LEGEND and if somebody asks me again if I love Brady, yes I love him, and show me somebody who doesn’t,” Rajek wrote, including photos of herself modelling Brady’s No. 12 Buccaneers jersey.

“Even his haters love him because they know he is the [goat] @tombrady thank you for an amazing show.”

Rajek is reportedly still married to Olympic bobsledder Viktor Rajek, but her relationship status has not recently been addressed.

Rajek remains unapologetic for the wild twist her life has undergone since she left her home country to reside in Mexico. She has said she hopes to become a US citizen and move to the United States as soon as possible.

Rajek began her modeling career in Italy at just 14 years old.

She competed in Miss Slovakia when she was 19 and says she has been a fan of Brady’s since she was a teenager.
