Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel reportedly dating, both staying silent on the claims

Tom Brady and supermodel Candice Swanepoel are dating, according to anonymous sources quoted across multiple entertainment outlets this weekend — though neither has said a word publicly, no representatives have confirmed the reports, and no joint sightings have been described in any of the coverage.

The story broke Saturday when Us Weekly reported that Brady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, have been together 'for a while,' citing a single insider. By Sunday, People had added a second anonymous source with more detail: both live in Miami, they have been 'dating for months,' and 'they've gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted,' according to Page Six's account of the People report.

They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient. They're spending a lot of time together. Candice and Tom have been dating for months. She's been very secretive and selective about who she's told about their dating.— Anonymous insider

Neither Brady's nor Swanepoel's representatives responded when Page Six sought comment. The record, as it stands, is anonymous sourcing, no on-the-record confirmation, and two sides staying quiet.

Brady's silence fits a pattern. His 13-year marriage to Gisele Bündchen dissolved in 2022, and tabloid reports have since connected him to Kim Kardashian, Irina Shayk, Brooks Nader, Sofía Vergara, Alix Earle, and Yael Cohen — none of whom he has publicly acknowledged in that context. In January, after he was seen with Earle on New Year's Eve, he told People he had little bandwidth for romance.

You know what? I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids.— Tom Brady

Swanepoel has been equally private. Her engagement to Hermann Nicoli, which lasted more than a decade, ended in 2018; the former couple are parents to sons Anacã, 10, and Ariel, 8. According to sportsgossip.com, she took part in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show six days before the Us Weekly report, wearing three looks that included an all-pink outfit and a structured metallic set with bejeweled wings.

Life is a constant search for balance, for me at least, and yes I do sometimes feel overwhelmed, but I'm very in tune with my children's needs, then my own personal needs, which are also important.— Candice Swanepoel

Now in his third season calling games as Fox's lead NFL analyst on a 10-year, $375 million contract, Brady also holds a minority ownership stake in the Raiders, according to sportsgossip.com. After finishing 14th the previous year, his broadcast partnership rose to ninth among NFL teams in 2025.

A messier subplot has circulated separately. An anonymous tip submitted to celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi — and repeated by Just Jared and OK! with explicit caveats about its reliability, per sportsgossip.com — alleged that Brady and fellow Victoria's Secret model Joan Smalls, a colleague of Swanepoel's, had an on-and-off relationship for roughly a year, that Swanepoel urged Smalls to step back out of consideration for Bündchen, and that Swanepoel subsequently became involved with Brady. Smalls appeared to reference some kind of fallout in a comment on Just Jared's Instagram post about the rumored romance, writing: 'Two words: SUMMER HOUSE! That'll explain everything.' The tip's timeline also contradicts the 'together for a while' framing from Us Weekly, making it an unreliable thread in an already thin record.

Brady co-parents two children with Bündchen — son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13 — and also shares son Jack, 19, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, according to Us Weekly and Page Six. Last December, Bündchen wed jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente at a private ceremony in Florida, per sportsgossip.com.

Why it matters — The report adds another chapter to Brady's post-retirement public profile at a moment when he is simultaneously managing a high-profile broadcasting career and a minority NFL ownership stake — and it illustrates how celebrity relationship stories can multiply across outlets from a single anonymous source without any on-the-record confirmation.
