Photos courtesy of TMZ, the 38-year-old former Victoria's Secret model was spotted Friday in black leggings and a tank top, flashing a large gold band on her left ring finger, and then driving into the garage of Tom Brady's office building in the Miami area. Page Six has a second shot of the hand.
The same article that ran the photos reports the couple has been "trying to keep a low profile," which is like reporting on a fire while the building is still on fire. Paparazzi shots, sources saying they meet almost every day, two cars entering and leaving the same garage like a tennis match. Low profile is not what a front page looks like. The ring is not jewelry, it is a press pass.
The sources did the rest of the work. One told TMZ the thing is "not serious" yet, that Brady, 49, is "not in a headspace to jump into a serious relationship just yet" and "seems pretty content with where things are in his personal life right now." Meanwhile his girlfriend is wearing the ring on the wedding finger, plus a gold pinky ring and a gold bracelet. That is not a ring, that is a full jewelry portfolio. You do not say "not serious" four months in and wear the hardware.
No one's rep is commenting, which is the actual story. The silence is doing the entire PR job while the ring does the rest. Seven Super Bowls, one garage, and a band that will not be named in a caption. That is the whole brand strategy.
YOUR TURN: Is a ring on the ring finger an engagement, or the bravest thing you can wear to a garage?
