Reality television icon and business mogul Kim Kardashian, 44, addressed speculation surrounding her past relationships during her debut on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, October 15. The mother of four discussed her personal life, career, and media scrutiny, including long-standing rumors that she dated Tom Brady and her brother-in-law, Travis Barker. Kardashian denied any romantic history with Barker and dismissed speculation regarding Brady as exaggerated gossip.
TL;DR
Kim Kardashian has at last spoken about the old gossip of a love affair with NFL icon Tom Brady and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. On her appearance at the Call Her Daddy podcast on Oct. 15, the reality TV personality flatly denied dating Barker and cleverly dodged questions regarding Brady, keeping up her signature calm.
Kim Confronts Tom Brady Dating Speculation
In a candid segment of the nearly two-hour podcast, Cooper invited Kardashian to play a game called “Confess or Text,” in which she could either answer personal questions or send a playful text if she declined. When asked to play “F--k, Marry, Kill” featuring Pete Davidson, Tom Brady, and Kris Humphries, Kardashian laughed and opted out, joking, “I’ll text on this one—I’ll get in way too much trouble there.”
Pressed further on her rumored connection with Tom Brady, Kardashian declined to answer directly, responding, “Oh my God. I’m not going to answer.” She was then playfully interrupted by a call from her sister Kylie Jenner, whom she had just duped with a spoof text message in the game.
Reports of a budding romance between Kardashian and Brady first emerged in 2023. Both parties' close sources told Us Weekly that they were "strictly friends," further stating that Brady had simply counseled Kardashian as she weighed business ventures in the Bahamas, which he owns real estate there.
Kardashian later fueled the lighthearted gossip during her appearance at Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady”, where she joked, “I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might.”
Denial of Past Relationship with Travis Barker
While in the interview, Cooper asked Kardashian if she had ever been in a romantic relationship with Travis Barker, Kardashian's ex-husband and her sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker's husband. The SKIMS founder quickly brought everything into perspective.
“No, I never have—absolutely not,” she said firmly. “That really sucks that that has gone on.” Kardashian explained that she and Barker were just friends through their shared acquaintance with Paris Hilton, stating their interactions were mere platonic interactions.
She also spoke about Barker's 2015 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums, in which he confessed to having a crush on her, “I didn’t know I’d be mentioned in that,” Kim admitted, “but I never thought he’d imply we hooked up—because we didn’t.”
Kardashian also added that Kourtney and Barker, parents now to 22-month-old Rocky Thirteen Barker, were acquaintances for years as neighbors. “He was always around with his kids. Everyone’s been friends—it was nothing weird,” she explained.
