Tom Brady has a new love interest, and she's no stranger to the spotlight herself. Multiple outlets, including Us Weekly and Page Six, are reporting that the seven-time Super Bowl champion has been quietly dating South African supermodel Candice Swanepoel — with sources describing the two as spending significant time together even as they've worked hard to keep things out of public view.

The reports land four years after Brady's divorce from Gisele Bündchen was finalized in 2022, following a 13-year marriage. Brady, 49, shares two children with Bündchen — Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13 — and a son, Jack, 19, with ex Bridget Moynahan. Swanepoel, 38, split from longtime partner Hermann Nicoli in 2018 after 14 years together; the pair share sons Anacã, 10, and Ariel, 8.

Quietly off the market

Sources describe the romance as notably low-key. This tracks with Brady's own comments earlier this year: in a July interview, the retired quarterback said he had "little time for a personal life," insisting his career and his kids were the priority. That framing now looks very different in light of the new reports.

"THEY'VE BEEN DATING FOR A WHILE NOW," an insider told People. "THEY BOTH LIVE IN MIAMI, SO IT'S VERY CONVENIENT. THEY'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER."

A second source described the romance as deliberately low-key, saying Swanepoel "has been very secretive and selective about who she's told about their dating," and that when the pair have met up, "they've gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted." This isn't the first time Brady's name has been linked to a model or actress since his divorce — he's previously been tied to Irina Shayk, Brooks Nader, and Alix Earle, among others, with most of those rumors fizzling quickly. A report earlier this year that he'd called Sofía Vergara "too old" to date was shot down by his rep as "pure fiction." The Swanepoel reports, by contrast, come with more specific, consistent detail across several outlets, including claims the relationship has already stretched on for months out of the public eye.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly addressed the relationship, and representatives for both have not responded to outlets' requests for comment, according to E! News. Until one of them confirms it directly, the romance remains sourced but unconfirmed by the couple themselves — standard territory for a tabloid-catnip pairing this high-profile.
