NFL fans discover ex-Tom Brady teammate Danny Amendola is dating 21-year-old Grace Montgomery

Tom Brady might have turned heads by partying with 25-year-old influencer Alix Earle on the eve of Super Bowl LX, but fans are only just finding out who one of his former teammates is dating.

Danny Amendola, who won the Super Bowl on two occasions with the New England Patriots, hard-launched his relationship with social media star Grace Montgomery three months ago.

In an Instagram post celebrating Amendola’s 40th birthday back in November, Montgomery shared a carousel of photos with her 15,000 followers.

“Happy birthday to the best! Love you!” she captioned the post, which marked a milestone and took their relationship public.

According to numerous reports, Montgomery is 21-years-old, which would mean the couple have a 19-year age gap.

While they went ‘Instagram official’ three months ago, photos of the pair started circulating on other platforms following Super Bowl LX, where the Patriots were beaten by the Seattle Seahawks.

Fans react to Danny Amendola’s relationship news

One prominent NFL aggregator account shared news of Amendola and Montgomery’s relationship on X, and the post was seen by close to four million people in less than 12 hours.

It’s fair to say plenty of fans were shocked by the reveal, given rumors claimed the former wide receiver was dating 24-year-old DJ Xandra Pohl last spring.

Amendola has also been romantically linked to other models, including Olivia Culpo and Jean Watts, in recent years.

“It’s the Patriot way…” one fan joked, referencing Bill Belichick’s high-profile relationship with Jordon Hudson, and their 49-year age gap.

“He looks young for his age. Good job,” another said of Amendola.

“Let them be happy together,” a third urged, after some had taken shots at the couple’s reported age difference.

“Good for him! Nobody’s business but theirs,” a fourth said.

What is the latest on Tom Brady and Alix Earle?

While Amendola has widely managed to keep his relationship out of the public eye, seven-time Super Bowl champion Brady is certainly not as lucky.

Since his divorce from Gisele Bundchen in 2022, the NFL legend’s private life has often been splashed over the front pages of the American press.

He has been linked to actress Irina Shayk, socialite Kim Kardashian and was also seen alongside Sofia Vergara last summer.

On Super Bowl weekend, Brady went viral as he was once again filmed dancing with influencer Earle, who is 23 years younger than him.

The pair were seen at a party in San Francisco the night before the big game.

Earle, who featured in Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show, shared a TikTok post detailing her preparation for that appearance, and offered a subtle response to suggestion she and Brady had ‘hooked up’.

“I didn’t go to bed until six last night, but we are up and ready for Benito Day!” she told her eight million followers.

“We have been having the best weekend ever. Everything has just been so much fun, like the party last night.

“There was this big dance floor, everyone was dancing, I tried not to have too many drinks, because I knew I had to be up and active.”

Earle added that she has made ‘new friends’ recently and managed to tick plenty off her Super Bowl ‘bucket list’ in San Francisco.

If she has indeed been spending time with Brady, Sunday’s game might have been the first of many.
