“She’s been very secretive and selective": Gisele Bündchen’s comments about Tom Brady’s rumoured girlfriend Candice Swanepoel resurface

Tom Brady’s reported romance with supermodel Candice Swanepoel has drawn fresh attention to an unexpected connection between the new couple and his former wife, Gisele Bündchen. While Brady and Swanepoel have yet to publicly confirm their relationship, reports suggest they have been dating for months. What makes the story more intriguing is Bündchen’s previous show of support for Swanepoel, offering a glimpse into a connection that existed long before the latest dating rumours emerged. Her past comments are now gaining renewed attention as interest grows in Brady’s personal life following his 2022 divorce.Gisele Bündchen’s support for Candice Swanepoel goes back yearsBündchen’s connection with Swanepoel extends beyond their shared careers in the modelling industry. The Brazilian supermodel previously praised Swanepoel’s swimwear brand, Tropic of C, showing that their professional relationship had a friendly side.In December 2019, Bündchen shared a photograph of herself wearing a swimsuit from the brand. She also publicly thanked Swanepoel for the gift, making her appreciation clear.“Thank you @angelcandices for the beautiful @tropicofc bikini. I loved it!,” Bündchen wrote.The gesture offered a small but notable example of Bündchen supporting another model’s business. Swanepoel, who built her career through major fashion campaigns and Victoria’s Secret, later expanded her work into swimwear with Tropic of C.Bündchen’s earlier endorsement has become relevant again because of the reported relationship between Swanepoel and Brady. However, her past praise should not be taken as confirmation of her views on the alleged romance. There is no indication in the reported comments that she was addressing any future relationship between the two.Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel reportedly keep romance privateAccording to reports cited by The Spun, Brady and Swanepoel have been spending considerable time together in Miami, where both have connections.
