Tom Brady reportedly has a new woman in his life — and fans did not see this one coming. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is said to be dating supermodel Candice Swanepoel, and according to insiders, the romance has been quietly going on for months.
The Report That Started It All
Us Weekly first reported on Saturday, October 24, that Brady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, are dating — and have been together “for a while.” PEOPLE then confirmed the relationship, with a source saying the pair have been seeing each other for at least a few months.
Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly addressed the romance, and representatives for both did not immediately respond to requests for comment. For now, the story rests on insider accounts — but the details they shared have fans talking.
A Secret Kept in Miami
According to PEOPLE's source, geography is on the couple's side: “They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient. They're spending a lot of time together.”
But the same insiders say Swanepoel has been “very secretive” and “selective” about who she has told. “When they have met up, they've gone to great lengths not to be spotted,” one source added — which may explain why the months-long romance only surfaced now.
Fresh Off the Victoria's Secret Runway
The timing raised eyebrows: the news broke just days after Swanepoel walked in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, where she remains one of the brand's most recognizable faces years after becoming an Angel in 2010.
Swanepoel was previously engaged to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, whom she dated for more than a decade before their split in 2018. They share two sons, Anaca, 10, and Ariel, 8, and she has largely kept her dating life private ever since.
Brady's Life After Gisele
Brady was married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen from 2009 until their divorce in October 2022. They share son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, and Brady is also father to son Jack, 19, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Since the split, Brady has been linked to several famous names, including Irina Shayk and Alix Earle — but he has kept his personal life firmly private. Earlier this year he told PEOPLE, “You know what? I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids.”
If the reports are true, it seems the NFL legend may have quietly made time after all — and fans will be watching closely for the first public sighting of football's most famous bachelor and his supermodel.
