Julian Edelman and Adriana Lima Holding Hands in Nantucket

Julian Edelman and Adriana Lima have hung out a couple times of late. TMZ characterizes the relationship as somewhere between just friends and exclusive couple, noting that they have “introduced each other to their friends” and held hands on Nantucket this past weekend.

Lima is a Victoria’s Secret angel who will be a part of NBC’s Olympics coverage in Brazil. Somewhat amusingly, Edelman’s former teammate Wes Welker recently joked in a radio interview about Edelman being a generic version of Tom Brady. Pursuing a relationship with a Brazilian supermodel certainly wouldn’t be one of Brady’s least desirable traits to emulate.
