As one of the most famous football players in the world, Tom Brady has no shortage of fans. And one of them is Veronika Rajek. Known for her massive Instagram following and modeling work, Rajek has shared her love for Tom Brady on multiple occasions. There are several influencers who started other careers after breaking out on Instagram. For now, Rajek seems happy posting on social media. And she definitely likes talking about Tom Brady.
When Veronika Rajek, who is from Slovakia, posted about watching the Buccaneers play at the end of 2022, people couldn't get enough of her Instagram account. Why is Veronika Rajek such a fan of Tom Brady? And what happened between her and Shaq?
Veronika Rajek Is A Superfan Of Tom Brady
Everyone talks about Tom Brady's love life since he has been going through a divorce for a while now. Veronika Rajek is known for being a huge fan of Tom Brady, and she often talks about how much she likes him. This made people think that the two could be dating.
Rajek explained to The Sun why she has always been a follower of football. She said, “My love started when I was maybe 17. I love American football more than soccer - I love that in American football the players are stronger and more muscular. It’s a more powerful sport for me and I was always watching when he (Brady) played for other teams. I’ve been watching him for a long time.”
The model was thrilled to attend a game in person. She said, “He put on an amazing show - it was crazy. I was like ‘wow, what a show, this is amazing." She often refers to Tom Brady as "the GOAT" on her Instagram account. Sometimes she uses the word and other times, she shares a goat emoji. It's definitely clear that she thinks Tom Brady is super talented.
Rajek continued, "This is the dream of every fan to see the GOAT in his prime. People started leaving the stadium five or six minutes before the end. I was like ‘why are they leaving? He’s the GOAT’ and he won it in the last minute," according to The Sun.
In December 2022, Veronica Rajek posted a photo of herself on Instagram and shared more about this experience. She wrote, in the caption, "I saw the LEGEND and if somebody asks me again if I love Brady, yes I love him, and show me somebody who doesn’t." She continued that "even his haters love him."
What Happened Between Veronika Rajek And Shaq?
Veronika Rajek spent time with Shaq in May 2023, and people want to know what really happened.
The New York Post reported that Rajek posted that she was hanging out with Shaq at the Four Seasons Surf Club located in Surfside, Florida. Rajek had lots of praise for the athlete, writing that he's "a role model for life. Humble, inspiring, kind, hardworking. Love It." Rajek also met David Njoku. The New York Post said they were "partying."
It's unclear if Rajek and Shaq planned to meet up or if they happened to both be at the Surf Club at the same time. It seems possible that Veronika Rajek chatted with Shaq because she is such a big fan. And Shaq was of course polite and happy to meet someone who appreciates what he does.
Because Veronika Rajek has become a public figure, she probably gets the chance to meet celebrities all the time. And since she has made it known that she is a fan of Tom Brady, it was only a matter of time before she was introduced to other athletes.
Of course, it's possible that Rajek will become friends with Shaq or other celebrity athletes in the future. But for now, it seems that they only hung out once.
While people wondered if Tom Brady was in a relationship with Veronika Rajek now that he is divorced from Gisele Bundchen, she might be married. According to The Sun, she and Viktor Rajek, a bobsledder, got married in 2019. However, it's unclear if she is still married. There isn't any information available about the wedding. And if the couple got divorced, that information isn't online, either. Rajek's Instagram is mostly videos and selfies, and she doesn't seem to have uploaded any pictures of Viktor.
Besides sharing how much she likes Tom Brady and Shaquille O'Neal, Veronika Rajek promotes the brand Fashion Nova on Instagram. Now that she has become famous, she has talked about her personal life in interviews and has also spoken about what she wants her job to look like.
Rajek told The Sun that she would like to have kids in the next decade. She said, “I don’t know where I’ll be in 10 years but I hope I’ll be a good, supportive mother and have a nice family."
Rajek also said, "My goal was always to be a Victoria’s Secret model because I am five-foot-eleven, I am 125 pounds and I work hard. My biggest dream now is to be on the cover of ‘Sports Illustrated.’"
People are interested in what Veronika Rajek eats and how she exercises. According to The Sun, she uses the treadmill and focuses on strength training. She said, "I only eat like five or six foods all year long. I workout normal like running, squats and abs, 1hr 30mins of workout time. I only eat like greek salads, tomato soup, grapes with Nutella and strawberries, spaghetti and some Slovak food. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat healthy, but I don't eat trash or junk food."
Although people are interested in learning more about Veronika Rajek's meet-up with Shaquille O'Neal, it appears that it was only a one-time interaction. But since she is so well-known now, it's possible that Rajek will be in the news more and more.
