Ever since Tom Brady retired from the gridiron, his personal life has seen plenty of twists and turns, with reports about his relationships making headlines regularly. While rumors about his romance with Candice Swanepoel continue to swirl, the rumored girlfriend has now sparked fresh buzz after being spotted with a mystery ring.
Candice Swanepoel spotted wearing gold band amid Tom Brady dating rumors
Victoria’s Secret Actu X account recently shared a post featuring the South African model. It included three different poses of her in the same outfit. The third picture caught the most attention after it highlighted Candice Swanepoel wearing a gold band. While that might sound like an ordinary detail, it has sparked plenty of buzz among fans, especially given the ongoing rumors linking her to Tom Brady.
The source reports that the model is in Florida, where someone spotted her walking through a garden-like setting in a stylish, sporty-casual outfit. She wore a black baseball cap with a slightly curved brim and oversized black sunglasses that added a classy touch to her appearance.
38-year-old paired a fitted black sleeveless top featuring a wide white collar with black, form-fitting leggings. She wore her long, straight, golden-brown hair loose over both shoulders.
Swanepoel also carried a smartphone in her right hand and kept her jewelry minimal. However, Candice wore two rings and a band on her left hand, including one on her traditional engagement-ring finger.
For context, media reports that surfaced in late October 2026 claimed that Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel had been dating for the past few months, reportedly since June 2026. However, neither the NFL GOAT nor the model has publicly commented on the rumors.
Sources claim Joan Smalls, a longtime friend of Brady and fellow Victoria’s Secret model, feels upset about his growing closeness with Candice. Reports have also linked Smalls romantically to Brady in the past. When asked about the situation, Candice’s team simply said that she respects her longtime friendship with Joan.
