The Patriots’ star quarterback leant down as Kraft tilted his head up, with one camera angle making it look as though they shared a passionate kiss on the lips.

In all honesty, the reality may well have been that Kraft merely leant in to whisper something in Brady’s ear.

However, the bizarre scenes sent social media into a spin, with fans convinced it was much, much more than that.

After a touchdown-less first-half saw the Patriots take a 3-0 lead into the break, all it took was one TD for a 13-3 victory.

When Sony Michel barged over for the TD with just seven minutes reaming, it marked the latest first touchdown in Super Bowl history.

The victory, which moves the Patriots into a share of the all-time mark with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was also a record sixth Super Bowl triumph for Tom Brady, who at 41 became the oldest quarterback to win the championship game.

However it was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in the 53-year history of the game, as the Patriots claimed their third title in the past five seasons.
