Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel are dating, reports say

Retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, 49, and model Candice Swanepoel, 38, are dating, according to two celebrity magazines that cited unnamed sources over the weekend.

Us Weekly was first. On Saturday, Oct. 24, it reported in an exclusive, citing a single unnamed source, that the two had been together for some time. The magazine said it had asked both for comment.

People reported on Sunday, Oct. 25, citing two unnamed sources, that the pair had been seeing each other for at least a few months, that both live in Miami, and that they had taken steps to avoid being seen together. People said representatives for both didn't respond to its request for comment.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel had commented publicly as of about 7 p.m. ET Monday.

Page Six said representatives for both weren't immediately available for comment. The New York Post said Brady's representatives hadn't responded to its request. TMZ and E! News each said they had contacted both stars' representatives and hadn't heard back. The Daily Mail said neither Brady nor Swanepoel had responded to it.

None of the outlets NewsCubby reviewed published photos of the two together or named their sources.

Brady's camp has disputed earlier reports about his personal life. In July 2025, his representative told People that a Daily Mail report citing a source was entirely made up, according to E! News.

Brady divorced in 2022 and retired from the NFL in February 2023, according to the New York Post. He now works as an NFL game analyst for Fox Sports. Earlier this year, Brady told People that he had little time for a personal life and preferred to stay busy with work. Swanepoel, who is South African, walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Culver City, California, on Oct. 18, according to the New York Post.

NewsCubby will update this story if either of them, or their representatives, comments.
