Brady's Father Denies Bundchen Engagement Reports

The Brazilian beauty reportedly got engaged to Brady following his proposal on a private jet that took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and landed in Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday (24Dec08).

Brady packed the plane with four dozen white roses and champagne for the joyous event, reportedly witnessed by Bundchen's parents who were also onboard, according to TMZ.com.

But Brady's father, also called Tom, has blasted the report - insisting he hasn't been told of any engagement.

He tells America's The Boston Globe newspaper, "(Engagement story is) rumour, rumour, rumour... We don't know a thing about it. Nobody told me. We talked to him and there's nothing to say."

Bundchen's twin sister also dismissed the report, telling journalists the story is "not true".

A representative for Brady's football team, the New England Patriots, tells People.com, "I heard the report that he (proposed) on a plane, but I don't think it's true.

"Tom keeps his private life private."

The couple has been dating since Brady split from actress Bridget Moynahan in 2006, with whom he shares a 16-month-old son.
