Gisele Bundchen Unbothered by Tom Brady's New Romance with Candice Swanepoel

Gisele Bundchen is reportedly unbothered by reports that her ex-husband, Tom Brady, is dating fellow Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel. Insiders familiar with the situation told TMZ that Bundchen does not see the new relationship as a betrayal.

US Weekly reported on Saturday that Brady, 49, has been dating Swanepoel, 38, for some time. Neither Brady nor Swanepoel have publicly addressed the rumors. Brady and Bundchen, who were married for 13 years, finalized their divorce in October 2022.

Despite moving in similar professional circles, Bundchen and Swanepoel reportedly never developed a close friendship. Sources told TMZ that they have not been seen together in recent years, making any suggestion of a feud over Brady unlikely.

The two models also did not overlap significantly in their careers with Victoria's Secret. Bundchen retired from her contract with the lingerie brand in 2006, the year before Swanepoel made her runway debut.

Brady and Swanepoel are reportedly taking precautions to keep their romance private, with one source telling PEOPLE that they have been meeting discreetly. Brady has previously been linked to other celebrities, including Irina Shayk and Alix Earle, since his divorce from Bundchen.

Brady and Bundchen share two children: Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

Swanepoel was previously in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. They became engaged in 2015 after meeting in 2005 but separated in 2018. They have two children together, Anacan, 10, and Ariel, eight.
