Tom Brady remains extremely disciplined in retirement, having lost much weight since his earlier playing days - while keeping his private life to himself

Former American Pie actress Tara Reid has opened up about her past relationship with NFL legend Tom Brady.

Brady, 46, retired from the NFL earlier this year, just months after splitting from his wife Gisele Bundchen after 13 years of marriage. Bundchen had been beside him throughout the majority of his career - where he would win seven Super Bowls and go down as arguably the greatest American Football player of all-time.

And Reid, 48, has discussed what he was like before the Super Bowl glory - detailing how he has changed since his younger days - and not necessarily for the better, in her opinion.

In a recent interview, Reid, revealed that their 'on and off' romance was during a 'different time' in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and she noticed a change in Brady's 'fun' persona from when they were together.

She said: "He used to laugh. When I watch his interviews, he's so cocky now.

"It was a different time. We used to go out, do whatever we wanted - then bam. It just changed so fast.

"It was nothing serious, but it was fun. We'd go to beer places and have fun and dance."

The actress, who shot to fame with her role in the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, also shared how she realised her popularity when she saw a photo taken on set by co-star Jeff Bridges, showing every guy 'staring' at her.

She revealed that she and Brady dated before her relationship with Carson Daly, which would have been in the late 1990s or early 2000.

She said: "We'd just see each other on and off."

Reid added that she thought Brady was 'cool' back then, but she noticed he's changed a lot since those days. She commented on how he's become 'skinny and serious'. Photos from the early 2000s show a younger-looking Brady compared to his more lean appearance today.

Even after retiring, Brady follows a strict diet after working with specialists to create 'The TB12 Method', which encourages eating fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed foods, focusing on organic, grass-fed, and local produce.

The diet also avoids certain foods considered healthy by nutritionists due to concerns about inflammation - with Brady rarely drinking alcohol.

Reid's revelations come just days after Brady was seen out with model Irina Shayk, despite rumours that their relationship had ended two months ago.
