Tom Brady may have found his next match, and apparently, he’s been keeping this one under wraps for a while.

The NFL legend is reportedly dating supermodel Candice Swanepoel, according to sources who spoke with People.

And while neither party has confirmed the relationship, insiders suggest this romance has been going on longer than fans might realize.

“They’ve been dating for a while now,” one source told the outlet.

As for why the two have supposedly been able to spend so much time together, geography apparently helps.

“They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient,” the insider explained. “They’re spending a lot of time together.”

Of course, convenient locations and busy schedules are one thing. Keeping a high-profile relationship out of the public eye is quite another.

A second source told People that Swanepoel has been particularly careful about who knows about the romance. According to that insider, the pair have even gone to considerable lengths to avoid being spotted together.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly addressed the reports, and representatives for both reportedly did not respond to requests for comment.

Still, the news marks another potential chapter in Brady’s post-divorce dating life.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion was married to Gisele Bundchen from 2009 until their divorce in 2022. The former couple share two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, with his former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Since his split from Bundchen, Brady has been linked to several famous women, including Irina Shayk, Kim Kardashian and Alix Earle. His romantic life has remained a source of public fascination, even as he has largely avoided discussing it in detail.

Earlier this year, Brady offered a glimpse into his priorities when he spoke with People about his personal life.

“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” he said.

Apparently, even a packed schedule can leave room for romance.

Swanepoel, meanwhile, previously spent 14 years with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. The pair became engaged in 2015 before splitting in 2018. They share two sons, Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 7.

The South African model has generally kept her romantic life private since that breakup, making the latest reports particularly noteworthy.

For now, Brady and Swanepoel are keeping quiet, leaving the public to piece together the details from anonymous sources.

But if the reports are accurate, this isn’t some brand-new celebrity flirtation. The two have reportedly been seeing each other for months.

And given Brady’s history of attracting attention wherever his personal life is concerned, their alleged romance probably won’t stay a secret for long.
