Tom Brady has a new leading lady, and she's a Victoria's Secret Angel — but the romance is reportedly coming at the cost of a friendship that's lasted a decade and a half.

According to multiple reports, the seven-time Super Bowl champion is quietly dating South African supermodel Candice Swanepoel, with the relationship surfacing in the weeks following this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. People and Us Weekly both reported the pairing, citing sources who say the two have been seeing each other secretly for months.

"Candice and Tom have been dating for months," one source told People, adding that Swanepoel had gone to great lengths to keep the relationship under wraps. A second source described the pair as low-key but increasingly inseparable.

"They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient," a source told People of the budding romance.

A Rift Among the Angels

The bigger fallout, according to Page Six, is playing out between Swanepoel and Joan Smalls — her fellow Victoria's Secret Angel and friend of roughly 15 years, who reportedly dated Brady on and off before his rumored romance with Swanepoel began. Page Six reports Smalls posted, then quickly deleted, a series of Instagram comments accusing her longtime friend of disloyalty, and that she's since asked mutual friends in their modeling circle to pick a side.

Swanepoel's representative told Page Six that the model has always been intensely private about her personal life and remains focused on raising her two sons, while stressing that she values her friendship with Smalls.

Brady, who split from Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, has not publicly commented on the Swanepoel reports. Separately, sources close to Bündchen told TMZ that she and Swanepoel have always been friendly through their shared modeling world but were never especially close — seemingly moving to head off speculation that his ex has any stake in the drama.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has confirmed the relationship on the record. Swanepoel, who walked her first Victoria's Secret show in 2010 and has appeared in 14 of them since, was previously in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, with whom she shares two children, before their 2018 split. She has not been publicly linked to anyone else since.

For now, the romance remains unconfirmed and the alleged feud undenied — leaving fans of both the NFL and the runway watching to see whether Brady's next big off-field move turns into his most talked-about yet.
