Tom Brady has been quietly dating Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel for months in Miami, reports say, while the pair works hard not to be spotted together.
The Sun reported that the retired NFL star and the South African supermodel have been seeing each other, citing earlier claims from US Weekly and an unnamed insider who spoke to People.
Both live in Miami. That detail, more than any public appearance, is what the insider used to explain how the relationship has stayed under wraps.
US Weekly first floated that Brady had been seeing Swanepoel. People’s source went further, saying the romance was already months old and deliberately private.
The insider told People the two have been spending a lot of time together and that Swanepoel has been careful about who knows.
An insider told People:
"They're spending a lot of time together. Candice and Tom have been dating for months."
The same source added that she has kept the circle small.
The insider said:
"She's been very secretive and selective about who she's told about their dating."
When they meet, the source said, they have gone to great lengths not to be spotted. No venue, photo, or joint outing was named in the reporting. The picture is one of private logistics, not red carpets.
Convenience is part of the story the insider sold. Both already live in the same city.
The insider put it plainly:
"They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient."
Brady, 49, divorced model Gisele Bündchen in 2022 and retired from playing the same year. He moved into broadcast analysis with Fox, where those first seasons were described as a major success.
He has been romantically linked in recent years to high-profile names including Kim Kardashian, Irina Shayk, and Alix Earle. He has also made clear he prefers to keep his personal life quiet.
Earlier this year he told People he does not have much room left after work and family.
Brady said:
"I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids."
That line fits the pattern in the new reports: time together, low visibility, and no confirmation from either Brady or Swanepoel themselves.
Swanepoel, 38, became a Victoria’s Secret angel in 2010 and ranked among the world’s best-paid models through that decade. In 2013 she walked the brand’s runway in a jeweled bra valued at £7.5 million. She has also worked for many of the biggest names in fashion.
She had two children with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. The couple split in 2018. Like Brady, she has kept this latest chapter tightly held.
None of the coverage offers a start date, a first public sighting, or an on-record comment from either person. The claims rest on US Weekly’s weekend report and the unnamed People insider. Brady and Swanepoel have not publicly confirmed or denied the relationship.
In an industry that turns private choices into content, two adults trying to date without a camera crew still counts as news, and that says as much about the culture as it does about them.
