Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel Are Reportedly Dating, Per Us Weekly Source

Us Weekly reported on October 24, 2026, that Tom Brady and the supermodel Candice Swanepoel are dating. The magazine's account rests on a single unnamed insider, who told Us the two have been together "for a while." No date for when the relationship began was given.

Brady is 49 and retired from the NFL. Swanepoel is 38. Neither has said anything publicly about a romance, and Us says it reached out for comment. Until one of them speaks, or the two are seen together on the record, the story remains one source's word.

Brady's recent romantic history has been closely watched. He was married to the supermodel Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022. They coparent two children: Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has an eldest son, Jack, 19, with his ex Bridget Moynahan. Since the divorce he has been linked to Irina Shayk and Alix Earle. Despite those headline-making pairings, Us notes, he has said little about his love life.

In January, he told People that he doesn't have much time for a personal life or for himself, but that he loves working and loves his kids. He said he likes staying busy and fulfilled, and that he was working on some "really cool projects" with good teams of people. Of his oldest son, whom he described as 18 at the time, he said there is nothing greater for a parent than watching your kids thrive, and that he feels blessed in many parts of his life.

Swanepoel's last publicly known relationship was a decade-long one with her ex-fiancé, Hermann Nicoli, which ended in 2018. Nicoli is 44. They share two sons, Anacã, 10, and Ariel, 8. Us says she has kept her dating life private since the split.

She has spoken openly about balancing motherhood and a demanding modeling career. In a 2023 interview with V magazine, she called life a constant search for balance and acknowledged that she sometimes feels overwhelmed. She said she tries to stay attuned to her children's needs and then her own, and that she has realized she is a better mother when she looks after her physical and mental health and her career and business, which bring her joy. She said her children have begun to understand that.

She added that she thinks it is healthy for them to see everything she does. One of her most vivid childhood memories, she said, was watching her father wake at 4 a.m. to tend the family farm, and she hopes her sons learn from that same dedication and drive.

Both have a record of guarding their private lives, so the next development to watch is whether either of them confirms the relationship. For now, the report is an unconfirmed claim from one insider.
