Hollywood has a new pairing to talk about: a retired NFL star and a supermodel, with Tom Brady reportedly dating Candice Swanepoel. Insiders now say the connection is not as recent as it might seem. Additional details also suggest that their romance has been quietly building for a while. However, for now, both are keeping things low-key.
Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel have been ‘dating for a while now,’ per source
One source told People the couple “have been dating for a while now.” The insider also pointed to their shared hometown. “They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient,” the source said, adding that they are spending a lot of time together.
A second source gave a clearer sense of the timeline. According to this insider, Brady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, have reportedly been seeing each other for at least a few months now.
Swanepoel is careful about whom she tells, and the pair are taking steps to avoid being seen when they meet. “She’s been very secretive and selective about who she’s told about their dating,” added the insider.
Both bring families into the picture. Brady was married to Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022, and they share a son, Benjamin, 16, and a daughter, Vivian, 13. He also has a 19-year-old son, John, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. Since his split from Bundchen, Brady has been linked to Irina Shayk, Kim Kardashian and Alix Earle.
Swanepoel, meanwhile, was with Hermann Nicoli for 14 years. They were engaged from 2015 to 2018, and share two sons, Anacan and Ariel.
Earlier this year, Brady spoke to the outlet about his personal life. “I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” he said. He added that he likes staying busy and fulfilled, and that he is involved in “some really cool projects.”
