Tom Brady is making headlines once again, but this time, it has nothing to do with football.
The 49-year-old retired NFL superstar is reportedly in a new relationship with Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel, 38, and sources say the romance has been unfolding quietly for months.
The unexpected pairing has brought renewed attention to Brady’s love life nearly four years after his highly publicized divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
A Romance That Has Been Kept Under Wraps
Although news of their relationship is only now emerging, Brady and Swanepoel have reportedly been seeing each other for several months.
Both celebrities live in Miami, making it easier for them to spend time together without the complications of a long-distance relationship.
But what makes this romance particularly intriguing is just how carefully the two have reportedly worked to keep it private.
One insider claims Swanepoel has been extremely selective about whom she has told about the relationship.
The source also revealed that the pair have made considerable efforts to avoid being photographed together.
Despite the growing reports, neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly confirmed their relationship.
Brady’s Love Life After Gisele Bündchen
For years, Brady and Bündchen were considered one of the most recognizable celebrity power couples.
The former New England Patriots quarterback and Brazilian supermodel married in 2009 and spent 13 years together before announcing their divorce in 2022.
They share two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, John, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Since the divorce, Brady’s romantic life has attracted considerable media attention.
He has been linked to several famous women, including model Irina Shayk, reality television star Kim Kardashian, and social media personality Alix Earle.
However, his newly reported relationship with Swanepoel suggests he may have found someone with whom he enjoys spending considerable time away from the spotlight.
Who Is Candice Swanepoel?
Swanepoel is one of the most recognizable models to emerge from the Victoria’s Secret era of the late 2000s and 2010s.
The South African model became internationally famous through her work with the lingerie brand and established herself as a major figure in the fashion industry.
Like Brady, she has experienced a long-term relationship ending in separation.
Swanepoel previously dated Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli for approximately 14 years.
The couple became engaged in 2015 but ultimately separated in 2018.
They share two sons, Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 7.
With both Brady and Swanepoel raising children while maintaining high-profile careers, their shared experiences could provide common ground.
Brady Previously Said He Had Little Time for Dating
Interestingly, the news comes after Brady previously suggested that romance was not a major priority in his life.
Earlier this year, the seven-time Super Bowl champion explained that his professional commitments and responsibilities as a father left him with limited personal time.
He emphasized that he enjoyed staying busy with work, spending time with his children, and pursuing new projects.
Now, however, reports suggest that he has been making room for someone new.
According to PEOPLE, multiple sources have confirmed that Brady and Swanepoel have been dating for months, with one insider revealing that the two have been spending significant time together.
The publication also reported that Us Weekly was the first outlet to break the news of their romance.
For now, the couple appears determined to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
Whether Brady and Swanepoel eventually make their romance official with a public appearance remains to be seen.
