Why is Veronika Rajek called 'Tom Brady admirer?' IG model may well be NFL GOAT's biggest fan
Tom Brady is widely regarded as the greatest player to have ever graced the NFL. The iconic quarterback played 23 seasons in the league and won seven Super Bowl titles.
Although Brady does have a global fanbase, there was one supporter who stood out during the 2022 season. Slovakian model Veronika Rajek grabbed headlines for her admiration of the 45-year-old, just a month after his divorce from Gisele Bundchen in late October.
Rajek shot to fame when she publicly declared her love for Brady in an Instagram post on Dec. 6, 2022. The 27-year-old uploaded several pictures of herself in Brady's No.12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey at the Raymond James Stadium to disclose how much of a fan she is of the quarterback.
"I saw the LEGEND [football emoji] and if somebody asks me again if I love Brady, yes I love him, and show me somebody who doesn't. Even his haters love him because they know he is the [GOAT]," she wrote, adding a heart and flame emoji. "@tombrady thank you for an amazing show #GOATFOREVER #12." she captioned her post.
Ever since then, NFL fans have been referring to Rajek as Brady's biggest admirer and fan. Some even suggested that the 2016 Miss Slovakia was dating Brady, but reports from the Sun claimed that Rajek is currently married to bobsledder Viktor Rajek, who competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics in the two-man and four-man events.
Nonetheless, in an interview with The Sun in February 2023, Rajek revealed that she had been following Brady for the past seven years.
