Candice Swanepoel was seen without a ring on her engagement finger while taking her son trick-or-treating on Halloween, adding another layer to the ongoing rumors that she is dating Tom Brady.
The sighting comes just days after the supermodel was photographed wearing a thick gold band on that same finger, sparking widespread online buzz.
Swanepoel, who recently had her plastic surgery secrets revealed, was dressed in a sultry angel costume featuring a white slip dress, wings, and a mask for the festive outing in Miami Beach, Florida. She appeared to be enjoying herself as she accompanied her son and other children on their Halloween activities.
Sources close to the situation have indicated that Swanepoel and Brady, who both reside in Miami, have been dating for "a while now" and are being cautious to keep their relationship private. "They're spending a lot of time together," one source told People. Another source added that Swanepoel has been "very secretive and selective about who she's told about their dating" and that they have "gone to great lengths not to be spotted."
Both Brady and Swanepoel have been navigating their personal lives following their previous relationships. Brady shares three children with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and has been linked to other celebrities since their 2022 divorce. Swanepoel has two sons with her ex-fiancé Hermann Nicoli. The sources also noted that Swanepoel and Brady have bonded over parenting their respective children.
Adding to the intrigue, reports suggest that this burgeoning romance may have caused a rift between Swanepoel and her longtime friend, model Joan Smalls, who had also reportedly been involved with Brady. According to Page Six, Swanepoel allegedly urged Smalls to end her relationship with Brady before starting her own with him, leading to Smalls' reported anger and her encouraging mutual friends to choose sides.
