Tom Brady and new flame Candice Swanepoel ‘have been dating in secret for months’ and are ‘spending a lot of time together,’ a new report on their romance has revealed.
It emerged on Saturday night that the NFL icon has moved on from ex-wife Gisele Bundchen with Swanepoel, another stunning Victoria’s Secret model.
According to US Weekly, Brady, 49, has been dating Swanepoel, 38, ‘for a while,’ though neither has publicly addressed the rumors or responded to request for comment from the Daily Mail.
PEOPLE then revealed on Sunday night that the pair are being extremely cautious when they spend time together in a bid to keep their romance under wraps.
‘They’ve been dating for a while now,’ PEOPLE said. ‘They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient. They’re spending a lot of time together.’
Another source added: ‘Candice and Tom have been dating for months. 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.’

After the rumored relationship was made public, an old clip from several years ago surfaced on social media.
Swanepoel was being interviewed on a red carpet in Portuguese when she was asked a hypothetical ‘kiss, marry, kill’ question.
She was presented with Brad Pitt, Justin Bieber and Tom Brady as the three options. Awkwardly, she decided to marry Pitt and kiss Bieber, leaving Brady to be killed.
Both Swanepoel and Brady’s ex Bundchen were Angels during Victoria’s Secret’s early 2000s heyday.
However, the models never starred together in the brand’s iconic runway shows as Bundchen retired from her contract in 2006 – one year before Swanepoel would make her debut.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was married to Bundchen from 2009 until their divorce in 2022. A new book recently revealed the devastating untold story behind the end of their relationship.
The pair are parents to children Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady is also father to son Jack, 19, whom he welcomed with ex Bridget Moynahan.
Swanepoel had been in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli after they first met in 2005.

She had been 17 at the time of meeting Nicoli, who was 23, as they both were pursuing their careers in the modelling industry.
After nearly a decade of dating, the former couple became engaged in 2015. But three years later, it was confirmed that the two had gone their separate ways.
Swanepoel and Nicoli welcomed two children during their nearly 14-year relationship: Anacan, 10, and Ariel, eight.
Following his divorce from Bundchen, Brady has previously sparked romance rumors with other stars such as Irina Shayk and Alix Earle.
He remained quiet about his love life earlier this year, telling People in January: ‘I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids.
‘I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things.
‘My oldest [son] is 18. But seeing him thrive and grow, and there’s nothing greater for a parent when you’re seeing your kids do well. I’m so blessed in so many parts of my life.’
