Retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly finding himself in a difficult situation involving two Victoria's Secret models, Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls. Sources suggest there is "tension" between Brady and Swanepoel, his new romantic interest, as a feud between Swanepoel and Smalls allegedly escalates.
Brady, who divorced supermodel Gisele Bundchen in 2022, has been linked to Swanepoel. However, their burgeoning relationship is reportedly being complicated by a dispute involving Smalls. According to a source, Smalls and Swanepoel have been close friends for years, but "at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this month, the pair were not seen together."
Details about the nature of the feud between Smalls and Swanepoel remain unclear, but it appears to have impacted their friendship. "Tom wants absolutely no part of the feud between Candice and Joan, and he feels like he's getting caught in the crossfire of a situation that really has nothing to do with him," a source told Daily Mail.
Smalls, in since-deleted Instagram comments, appeared to respond to a fan who questioned her friendship with Swanepoel. The alleged fallout between the two models has placed Brady in an uncomfortable position, with friends indicating he wishes to remain uninvolved in their dispute.
Brady, 49, has been linked to several women since his high-profile divorce from Bundchen. The source added that Brady "enjoys being known as the bachelor." He shares three children with Bundchen: Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, and also has a son Jack, 19, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
