Tom Brady may have a new romance in his life, as reports link the retired NFL superstar to Victoria’s Secret supermodel Candice Swanepoel. The reported relationship has attracted attention from fans, with new details suggesting the pair have been spending considerable time together while keeping their personal lives largely out of the spotlight.
According to reports published by Us Weekly on October 24 and PEOPLE on October 25, Brady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, have reportedly been dating for several months. A source told PEOPLE that both live in Miami, making it easier for them to spend time together.
The same source said Swanepoel has been discreet about the relationship and selective about whom she tells. The pair have reportedly taken steps to avoid being photographed together during their time together.
Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly confirmed the relationship, and representatives for both have not provided an official comment.
A New Chapter In Tom Brady’s Personal Life
Brady has generally kept details of his romantic life private since his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022. The former couple married in 2009 and share two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Brady also has an older son, Jack, with his former partner, actress Bridget Moynahan.
Since his divorce, Brady has been linked to several well-known personalities, including model Irina Shayk and social media personality Alix Earle. However, he has rarely discussed his dating life publicly.
In January 2026, Brady told PEOPLE that his schedule left him with limited time for himself, explaining that his professional projects and children remained major priorities.
The latest reports suggest that his personal life may now be taking a different direction, although the details of his relationship with Swanepoel remain largely private.
Who Is Candice Swanepoel?
Swanepoel is a South African supermodel widely recognized for her work with Victoria’s Secret. She has built an international modeling career and remains one of the brand’s familiar runway faces.
She recently appeared in the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, bringing renewed attention to her career just days before reports of her romance with Brady emerged.
Outside modeling, Swanepoel is also a mother of two sons, Anacã and Ariel, whom she shares with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. The former couple were together for more than a decade and became engaged in 2015 before separating in 2018.
In a 2023 interview with V Magazine, Swanepoel spoke about balancing motherhood, her career and her own well-being. She explained that taking care of herself was also important to being a better mother.
Her comments reflected the priorities she has maintained while continuing to work internationally and raise her children.
Both Stars Appear To Be Keeping Things Quiet
One of the most interesting details surrounding the reported romance is the apparent effort to maintain privacy.
According to PEOPLE’s October 25 report, the two have been spending time together in Miami but have reportedly tried to avoid public attention when meeting.
That approach would fit with Brady’s tendency to keep his personal relationships out of the spotlight. Although his name frequently appears in celebrity headlines, he has generally avoided discussing romantic rumors in detail.
For Swanepoel, who has also maintained a relatively private personal life since her separation from Nicoli, discretion may offer a way to balance a high-profile career with family responsibilities.
Still, the available reports do not establish exactly when the relationship began or how the pair first connected.
What Happens Next?
For now, the reported relationship remains unconfirmed by Brady and Swanepoel themselves. Neither has publicly addressed the speculation, leaving fans waiting to see whether either star eventually shares more about their personal lives.
Brady continues to balance professional commitments with raising his three children, while Swanepoel remains active in modeling and motherhood.
Whether the pair decide to make their relationship public or continue keeping it private remains to be seen. For now, the reports have placed the two international stars at the center of a new celebrity story, with the most significant details still unfolding behind the scenes.
