Tom Brady and supermodel Candice Swanepoel have been dating for a while, according to a report.
Brady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38 – a Victoria’s Secret angel since 2010 – have been together “for a while,” a source told Us Weekly.
Neither has publicly addressed the reports. The Independent has contacted representatives for Brady and Swanepoel for comment.
The former NFL star was married to supermodel Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022, and they co-parent their children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
Swanepoel was in a 10-year relationship with ex-fiancé Hermann Nicoli before their 2018 split. The pair have two sons, Anacã, 10, and Ariel, eight.
In an interview with People in January, Brady hinted that dating wasn’t his priority, saying that he didn’t have much time “for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids.” He has been romantically linked to model Irina Shayk and internet personality Alix Earle recently.
He continued: “My oldest [son] is 18. But seeing him thrive and grow, and there’s nothing greater for a parent when you’re seeing your kids do well. I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.”
Swanepoel has also kept her dating life private since her split. She told V magazine in 2023 that her focus was on her children and taking care of herself.
“Life is a constant search for balance, for me at least, and yes I do sometimes feel overwhelmed, but I’m very in tune with my children’s needs, then my own personal needs, which are also important,” she said.
“Sometimes it’s easy to forget. I’ve realized to be a better mother, I know I need to also take care of myself, whether that be about my [physical] health or mental health or being able to excel in my career and business because it brings me joy and so my children have begun to understand that too,” she added.
The South African model is known for her work with Victoria’s Secret, and she walked the runway at the brand’s fashion show last week. Swanepoel wore three different looks, including one with a pair of bejeweled wings.
Since her marriage to Brady, Bundchen has remarried and welcomed a son with her jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
