So first there were reports that Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen were engaged over the holidays, which were refuted, followed by a later story in which People magazine assured everyone that now the couple really was engaged. Now Gisele has informed a Brazilian publication that those rumors are also false and they are not in fact engaged. Via The Boston Herald:

“I will realize the dream of marriage, to have children and a family, of course. I’m sorry (to) disappoint you, there is no date set yet,” the supermdel told the Brazilian magazine Caras. “I’m in love and you will see my wedding on the right day.”

The Brazilian bombshell, who did the interview in her native Portuguese, said she had no idea how two separate engagement rumors ran rampant around the globe in the past few weeks.

“I don’t know how people are so creative,” said Gi, who was back home in Brazil for Sao Paulo Fashion Week. “First they said he proposed to me in a plane. Imagine, it was Dec. 24, Christmas, we were flying to Boston, then there was some champagne and we celebrated the date.

“Ready? Someone deduced I was getting engaged! I received more than 100 e-mails from friends commenting about the proposal. Now there’s a new rumor, that he proposed to me on last Friday. I wasn’t even there, how can that be true?”

This whole are they or aren't they back-and-forth business is becoming about as irritating as contemplating whether or not Brett Favre is going to retire. I wish they would just get engaged officially so we never have to hear about this story again.
