Tom Brady is at the center of new romance speculation involving Victoria’s Secret veteran Candice Swanepoel, four years after his divorce from former wife Gisele Bündchen.
The 49-year-old retired NFL star has reportedly been seeing the 38-year-old supermodel “for a while,” according to a source quoted by Us Weekly in a report published Saturday.
Brady and Swanepoel have not publicly commented on claims that they are romantically involved.
Representatives for both Brady and Swanepoel have been contacted for comment, but no response has been received.
Swanepoel and Brady’s former wife, Bündchen, both became Victoria’s Secret Angels during the brand’s influential early-2000s era.
The two models did not appear together in Victoria’s Secret’s signature runway shows, however. Bündchen ended her contract in 2006, a year before Swanepoel made her debut with the lingerie brand.

The former NFL quarterback was married to Bündchen from 2009 until their divorce was finalized in 2022.
The former couple share two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, with his former partner Bridget Moynahan.
Swanepoel was previously in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, whom she first met in 2005.
Swanepoel was 17 and Nicoli was 23 when they met while both were building careers in the modeling industry.
The couple dated for nearly a decade before becoming engaged in 2015. Three years later, their separation was confirmed.

During their nearly 14-year relationship, Swanepoel and Nicoli welcomed two children: Anacan, 10, and Ariel, seven.
Since his divorce from Bündchen, Brady has also been linked in romance rumors to stars including Irina Shayk and Alix Earle.
Brady and Earle were reportedly seen getting affectionate at a New Year’s Eve yacht party in St. Barts while welcoming 2026.

In September, media personality Alix Earle finally addressed the romance rumors surrounding her and Brady.
She discussed the alleged relationship during an episode of her Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World.
She could be seen having a conversation with Jenna Johnson, the wife of her Dancing with the Stars partner Val Chmerkovskiy, during rehearsals for the tour earlier this year.
Earle simply said that she is ‘having fun’ following her breakup from pro NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
‘Then you were like, “Tom, come over, cutie,”‘ Johnson had joked.
Earlier this year in January, Brady offered brief insight into his personal life during an interview with People at the time.
‘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.’
He further added, ‘I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things.’
