Tom Brady, 49, and Candice Swanepoel, 38, have been reportedly dating “for a while.”
Brady is 49 and retired from the NFL. Swanepoel is 38 and one of the best-known supermodels in the world. Brady has been linked to several women since his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen, yet he rarely discusses his love life. Swanepoel has kept hers private since her 2018 split. She told V magazine in 2023, “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. She also recalled her father waking at 4 a.m. to look after the family farm, and said she hopes her children pick up that same drive.
Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel are reportedly dating, a source told Us Weekly. The insider said the pair have been together “for a while,” which suggests the romance began well before the report surfaced. “For a while” is vague, but it points to a relationship that has been running quietly, not a fresh spark. Brady has said little in public about dating, and Swanepoel has stayed out of the spotlight on that front since her split from Hermann Nicoli. Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, has built a second career in broadcasting and business since leaving the field, and he has said he is busy by choice. He told People in January, “I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids.
Neither has commented publicly, and Us Weekly has asked both for a response. What the insider did offer is a sense of duration. That matches how both have handled their private lives. The timing is worth a look. A relationship kept out of sight fits that pattern. Brady’s public comments have centered on work and his children. He added that he likes staying busy with projects and teams he believes in, and that few things beat watching his oldest son thrive. Swanepoel has been just as open about the juggling act. Her point was simple: looking after herself makes her a better mother.
