The truth behind Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel’s budding romance
Tom Brady “really likes” supermodel Candice Swanepoel, but their months-long romance isn’t too “serious,” Page Six is told.
“Tom has been seeing Candice and really likes spending time with her,” a source exclusively shared with us Monday, adding that the retired NFL superstar, 49, isn’t “looking to jump into another serious relationship just yet.”
Our source noted that Brady — who has been divorced from supermodel Gisele Bündchen since October 2022 — has “dated a number of women” since their split and “seems pretty comfortable with where things are in his personal life right now.”
Bündchen divorced Brady — with whom she shares son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13 — after more than 13 years of marriage, due at least in part to his apparent prioritization of football over his wife and children.
“He was married for a long time and doesn’t appear to be in any rush to settle down again,” our source explained. “His main focus is still his kids and career.”
However, we’re told the lead NFL color commentator for Fox Sports is not opposed to something “more serious” with Swanepoel, 38, if it “happens.”
Reps for Brady and Swanepoel did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Though the new couple just made headlines, their relationship isn’t necessarily new.
Over the weekend, Us Weekly reported the two have been dating “for a while,” with People elaborating that their romance has spanned for at least a few months.
“They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient,” a source told the latter. “They’re spending a lot of time together.”
A second source said the duo has “gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted” together, noting that the Victoria’s Secret Angel — who shares sons Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 7, with ex-fiancé Hermann Nicoli — has also been “very secretive and selective about who she’s told” about the pairing.
Since he and Bündchen, 46, parted ways, Brady — who also shares 19-year-old son Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan — has been linked to Kim Kardashian, Brooks Nader, Irina Shayk, Sofía Vergara, Alix Earle and Yael Cohen, though he’s never publicly addressed any of the flings.
Bündchen, for her part, went on to welcome a baby boy with Joaquim Valente in February 2025. Ten months later, Page Six broke the news of their secret wedding.
