Tom Brady and South African model Candice Swanepoel have reportedly gotten close four years after the athlete’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen.

An insider told Us Weekly that the former NFL player, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, a longtime Victoria’s Secret Angel, have been dating "for a while," without specifying when or how things began. The outlet also shared that Brady and Swanepoel have opted to stay out of the public eye with their romance for months.

Swanepoel was previously engaged to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, whom she dated for fourteen years before splitting in 2018. The former couple share two sons, Anacã, 10, and Ariel, 8. Brady and Bündchen were married from 2009 to 2022 and share two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Bündchen also welcomed a son last February with her new husband, Joaquim Valente. Brady also shares an 18-year-old son, John, with actress Bridget Moynahan, whom he dated from 2004 to 2006.

Brady was last romantically linked to digital creator Alix Earle, who told Cosmopolitan in September that she was “having fun” dating, without confirming if she and Brady were official. Before then, Earle, 25, shared that she was more interested in older men than those her same age.
