Candice Swanepoel Sparks Engagement Rumors Amid Tom Brady Dating Reports

Supermodel Candice Swanepoel sparked engagement speculation this week after being spotted in Florida wearing a gold ring on her left ring finger. The sighting comes hot on the heels of reports linking the 38-year-old Victoria's Secret Angel to NFL legend Tom Brady.

Swanepoel was photographed in the upscale Surfside area near Miami Beach dressed in casual black leggings and a matching tank top, with the prominent gold band on her left hand fueling immediate rumors. Neither Swanepoel nor Brady has commented on the speculation, leaving it unclear whether the jewelry is a fashion statement or a sign of a fast-moving romance.

According to sources speaking to People magazine, the pair have been quietly dating for several months, taking advantage of their shared residence in Miami to spend time together discreetly. Meanwhile, the rumored relationship has reportedly caused a serious rift between Swanepoel and her longtime friend, model Joan Smalls, who was previously linked to Brady. Sources claim Smalls views the new romance as a betrayal of their 15-year friendship, allegedly leading to a public falling out.

Both stars bring families from previous relationships to the dynamic. Swanepoel shares two sons, Anacã and Ariel, with her former partner Hermann Nicoli, while Brady is a father of three: Jack with actress Bridget Moyahan, and Benjamin and Vivian with supermodel Gisele Bündchen, from whom he divorced in 2022.
