Everyone came out to see the GOAT.
Tom Brady returned to the field Saturday to play in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles — marking his first competitive game since retiring from the NFL in 2023.
The crowd did not disappoint, as several celebrities showed up to support the seven-time Super Bowl champion and fellow star athletes like Joe Burrow, Odell Beckham Jr., Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Rob Gronkowski, Stefon Diggs, Jayden Daniels and more.
Justin and Hailey Bieber packed on the PDA as they watched the game together from various sections of the stadium, at one point sharing a celebratory smooch that photographers caught on camera.
Meanwhile, MGK (aka Machine Gun Kelly) was spotted signing autographs and greeting fans near the field before making his way up to a private, star-studded suite.
Just feet away, Brooks Nader turned heads while snapping content for Raising Cane’s in a denim mini dress and black heeled boots. The model appeared to be having a blast with friends while enjoying a day off from filming the new “Baywatch” reboot with Livvy Dunne, Shay Mitchell and more.
Page Six also spotted model Olivia Ponton cheering on Burrow from a VIP section amid rumors that the two have reignited their on-again, off-again romance. The sighting came just two days after the pair attended a star-studded Fanatics dinner together.
Travis Scott was also in the building Saturday, having a blast mingling with his famous friends, along with Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and OBB Media CEO Michael D. Ratner. The crowd went wild at one point when the rapper hopped on a stage platform set up in the stands to DJ.
Other famous faces we spotted throughout the day included Jamie Foxx, Casey Affleck, Gronk’s longtime girlfriend Camille Kostek, Nikki and Brie Bella, Keegan-Michael Key, Robert Kraft and Winnie Harlow.
During Saturday’s inaugural event, produced by Fanatics Studios, Brady served as co-captain for Team Founders FFC alongside Hurts, matching up against Team Wildcats FFC (captained by Daniels and Burrow) and the US National Flag Team (captained by Darrell “Housh” Doucette III and Nico Casares).
Team USA Football swept round-robin play before defeating the Wildcats FFC in the championship game and emerging as tournament champions.
“I thought it was a fun experience, and experiment, as well, for us to kind of see where everyone measured up. And really happy for the US Flag Team, they did a great job,” Brady said in a post-game press conference.
“I think the fellowship and the camaraderie of sports, in general, make it just exciting for all of us to be a part of,” he added. “So many guys that I’ve looked up to and played against, [we] had an opportunity to spend a little time with them, that maybe you wouldn’t have, that made this week really incredible.”
The former New England Patriots quarterback also spoke highly of Logan Paul Saturday, after weeks of going at it with the WWE star in various interviews, on social media and at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic draft held earlier this week in Beverly Hills, Calif.
“You know what, I’ll say this, he impressed me out there,” Brady told reporters. “Some of the coaches that were coaching him said how seriously he was taking it, and how he just wanted to learn and be a sponge to go out there and do a good job.”
“To watch what he and his brother [Jake Paul] have done … you know, there’s a little tit for tat stuff, but I do have respect for people that are really driven to succeed,” he continued. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t wait for things to happen, you make it happen. And if you want positive things to happen in your life, you go for it. You’re fearless and you don’t settle for a backup plan. He really displayed that today.”
Rubin also addressed Brady and Paul’s rivalry while speaking to Page Six after Wednesday’s draft.
“I’ve got to be honest, I’ve never been to a draft where I laughed so hard,” the entrepreneur said. “Tom Brady talking smack … I thought Logan Paul and [Rob] Gronkowski were just going to kill each other a few minutes ago … we’re going to need extra security around those guys!”
“The funny thing is, Brady’s like a brother to me, and I love Logan as well. They’re like serious right now,” he continued, noting that he’s just going to let the competitiveness play out. “But Saturday night [after the game], I’m going to make them drink a couple shots each, make up and be friends again.”
