Tom Brady was among the raft of celebrities arriving at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $20 million wedding on Thursday, but the NFL icon will not be seeking a romance of his own in the City of Love.
Looking casual in a white T-shirt and matching hat, the seven-time Super Bowl winner boarded a small, star-studded boat in Venice, joining fellow high profile guests as they were taxied to their hotel.
Among the group was actor Orlando Bloom, recently single after his reported split from singer Katy Perry, and celebrity attorney Alex Spiro, as well as a mystery man and woman.
They were also joined on board by Corey Gamble, the long-time partner of Kris Jenner. Her daughter, Kim Kardashian, who was romantically linked to Brady in 2023, also arrived in Venice for the nuptials.
But the Daily Mail understands that Brady will not be trying to rekindle that flame in Italy this week.
'Tom is not expecting to fall in love at Jeff's wedding and meeting up with Kim is not one of the first things he is interested in doing,' a source told the Daily Mail.
'He doesn't dislike Kim, and he will likely have conversation with her throughout the festivities and the wedding, but he's not interested in going to the wedding and hooking up and just seeing her. It isn't on his bingo card.'

The source also said that Brady, 47, will not 'feel weird about seeing her' this weekend.
'It is going to hopefully be a time for him to unwind and experience what is very likely to be a spectacular dream wedding,' they continued.
'It is going to be quite the event to be a part of, and dealing with all the pomp and circumstance is something he will very much enjoy. Tom knows his way around Super Bowls and this is Jeff and Lauren's Super Bowl, and he is happy to be a small part of the celebration.'
The Kardashians ensured all eyes would be on them Thursday night when they stepped out of the five-star hotel, Gritti Palace.
Kim, 44, was pictured in a figure-hugging snake skin dress as she headed to the festivities on Thursday, hopping on a boat with mom Kris, 69, and sister Khloe, 40.
Her sisters Kylie, 27, and Kendall Jenner, 29, also arrived at the Gritti Palace on Thursday afternoon, with Kylie's 25 pieces of monogrammed luggage in tow.
'If Kim and her family use the wedding as a social media platform, that is not going to be attractive to Tom either,' the source said. 'He wants to be there to enjoy Jeff and Lauren and would not want to make these days about him, because it is not about him.'
They added: 'If the Kardashians do what they do or if anyone for that matter makes it about themselves, Tom isn't going to have any of it.'

Brady was previously married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, with whom he shares three children, from 2009 to 2022.
The NFL legend was later linked to Kim after they were spotted together at Michael Rubin's famous Fourth of July party in 2023.
The following year, during the infamous Brady roast, the SKIMS mogul vowed she would 'never tell' what went on between them before joking she would 'just release the tape,' referencing her 2007 sex tape with Ray J.
Brady was also linked to model Irina Shayk, 39, after they were seen partying together at a wedding, but their reported romance was short-lived, fizzling out after only a few months.
However, a source previously told Page Six that the pair had rekindled to 'see where things go.'
The former quarterback and Amazon tycoon Bezos are believed to have grown close over the past few years after being neighbors on Miami's Indian Creek Island, also known as 'Billionaire's Bunker' due to its high profile residents. Last year, the duo was spotted having a guys' night out at the Sports Illustrated Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix party in Surfside, Florida.
Brady resides in his newly-completed mansion on Indian Creek, which is believed to be worth a staggering $150 million following its lengthy construction.
He bought the plot for $17 million five years ago with Bündchen with the intention of making it their forever home. However, the couple divorced in October 2022 before the property's construction was complete.

Meanwhile, Bezos purchased his third property on the VIP enclave last year for a whopping $90 million.
The 61-year-old tech magnate and his bride Sanchez, 55, have reportedly invited about 200 guests to their multi-million dollar nuptials in the Italian city.
Around 90 private jets are set to land in local airports this week carrying A-listers from show business, politics and finance to the widely-dubbed 'wedding of the century.'
Though Bezos and Sanchez rang in their wedding week early with a foam party aboard the mogul's multimillion dollar superyacht Koru this week, the official celebrations are expected to kick off on Thursday and end on Saturday.
