Tom Brady’s model admirer is trading in the Buccaneers for the Bengals this season.
Veronika Rajek — who publicly supported the seven-time Super Bowl champion during the 2022 NFL season — revealed she’s backing Cincinnati this year, along with star quarterback Joe Burrow.
“With Brady retired, who are you rooting for in the NFL now?” Rajek was asked during a recent Instagram Q&A, according to Outkick.
The model then named the Raiders, Rams and Bengals as her teams before calling out Burrow, 26, and Browns tight end David Njoku.
“My visual choices @joeyb_9 & @chiefnjoku,” Rajek said, referencing the Instagram handles of the NFL stars.
“(I saw David in real life and this guy has an angel face).”
Njoku, 27, was originally selected 29th overall by the Browns in the 2017 NFL Draft.
He agreed to a four-year, $56.75 million extension with the team in 2022.
As for Burrow, who has been dating girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher since their college days, the former first-overall pick is entering his fourth year in Cincinnati.
Last month, however, Burrow suffered a strained right calf injury at training camp and was carted off the field.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said last week that Burrow is “progressing as he should” in terms of a timeline.
Burrow’s Bengals will open the season on Sunday, Sept. 10, against the Browns.
It remains to be seen if Rajek will be supporting Burrow and Njoku in-real-life or from afar on game day.
The blonde bombshell was one of Brady’s biggest champions last year, in what was the quarterback’s final NFL season.
He confirmed his retirement in February after 23 prolific years in the league.
Though Brady will be tackling a new role in 2024, when he slides into Fox Sports’ top booth as the network’s lead NFL analyst, at the moment, he seems focused on matters of the heart.
The retired quarterback, 46, has been linked to Russian model Irina Shayk, with the pair seen leaving a posh London hotel separately earlier this week.
Brady announced his divorce from wife Gisele Bündchen in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
They share son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10.
Brady also co-parents son Jack, 15, with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.
