Tom Brady reportedly has a new woman in his life, and it's not Netflix reality star Alix Earle.

Sources say the seven-time Super Bowl champion, 49, has been quietly dating supermodel Candice Swanepoel for months. 

According to "People," the two have been seeing each other "for a while," but have somehow managed to keep the romance under wraps.  

"They've been dating for a while now," an insider told the outlet. "They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient," the source added. "They're spending a lot of time together." 

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly confirmed the relationship, but that's nothing new for the NFL legend. He's been tight-lipped about his love life since his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bundchen, despite being romantically linked to model Irina Shayk and more recently Earle. 

Here's everything to know about Brady's rumored new love interest. 

Who is Candice Swanepoel? 

There's no question that Brady has a type, and supermodels seem to be at the top of his list. 

His rumored new flame, Swanepoel, is a well-known fashion model who's appeared on magazine covers all over the world.

She's best known for her long-running career with Victoria's Secret, becoming a VS Angel in 2010 and, most recently, walking in the brand's 2026 fashion show.

But her modeling career goes well beyond Victoria's Secret. 

Swanepoel has modeled for some of the biggest fashion houses in the world, including Gucci, Versace, Oscar de la Renta, and Givenchy. She's also built an impressive following on social media, with nearly 20 million Instagram followers. 

How her South African roots took her to Victoria's Secret

Before she walked the runways alongside some of the world's biggest supermodels, Swanepoel grew up on a farm with her older brother in South Africa. 

Born in Mooi River, Swanepoel trained as a ballet dancer and attended boarding school before launching her modeling career.

At the age of 15, she was discovered by a modeling scout while shopping at a flea market, and the rest is history. 

That chance meeting helped launch a career that would eventually make her one of the most recognizable faces in the business.

She has her own swimwear brand

Swanepoel's talents go beyond modeling. 

She launched a sustainable swimwear brand, Tropic of C, in 2018, and it's been going strong ever since. 

Her fashion expertise even landed her a guest-judging gig alongside Gigi Hadid and Tan France on Netflix's "Next in Fashion" in 2023. 

Candice Swanepoel has two kids

Like Brady, Swanepoel is no stranger to balancing a high-profile career in front of the cameras with parenthood. 

She shares two sons, Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 8, with her former fiancé, Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli, 44, whom she dated for more than a decade before they split in 2018. 

"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. Sometimes it’s easy to forget," Swanepoel told V Magazine in 2023.

"I’ve realized to be a better mother, I know I need to also take care of myself, whether that be about my [physical] health or mental health, or being able to excel in my career and business because it brings me joy and so my children have begun to understand that too," she added.
