Candice Swanepoel reveals truth about dating Tom Brady

Candice Swanepoel is making it clear how she wants her relationship with Tom Brady to go at the moment.

The rumored couple have been reportedly dating since June.

But an insider shares that the Victoria's Secret model is getting to know the NFL star.

She is "not looking to rush a relationship."

"She likes spending time with him," the source tells People.

"Between her kids and her career, her plate is very full."

"Tom's independent and has a busy life too, which works well for her."

"They go on dates when they can and have fun together."

"It's not a super intense relationship."

"They both have a lot going on and are happy to see each other when their schedules allow," the insider adds.

This follows speculation that the two were engaged.

Swanepoel was seen wearing a gold band on her left ring finger on Friday, Oct. 30.

She had a casual look where she wore black leggings and a black tank top with a white camisole underneath.

In addition to the gold band, she also wore a gold pinky ring, and a matching bracelet.

Candice Swanepoel and Tom Brady's rumored romance first broke in late October.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, Us Weekly reported that Swanepoel and Brady were dating and have been for "a while."

The following day, People came out with their own report.

An insider claimed that the alleged couple have been dating since June.

"Candice and Tom have been dating for months," the People insider shared.

"She's been very secretive and selective about who she's told about their dating."

"When they have met up, they've gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted."

"They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient," adds the insider.

"They're spending a lot of time together."

Brady nor Swanepoel has spoken out about the dating allegations at this time.

The couple has not been photographed together in public.

No confirmation has come from either party's representatives.

The dating rumors come months after Brady's retirement from the NFL.

He played 23 seasons, winning seven Super Bowls.

Swanepoel is a South African model best known for her work with Victoria's Secret.

She has two children with her ex-fiancé, Hermann Nicoli.

The pair split in 2020 after five years together.

Swanepoel has kept her personal life largely private since the breakup.

Brady divorced Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

He has three children with Bündchen and one with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Since his divorce, Brady has been linked to several high-profile women.

None of those relationships have been publicly confirmed by Brady.

The insider's comments suggest a low-key dynamic between Swanepoel and Brady.

Neither appears interested in a fast-moving romance.

Both are focused on their careers and families.

Swanepoel continues to model and run her swimwear line, Tropic of C.

Brady has moved into broadcasting with Fox Sports.

He also runs multiple business ventures, including his TB12 brand and an autograph company.

The source's description of the relationship aligns with both of their current life stages.
