"Another serious relationship": Tom Brady reportedly dated multiple women after Gisele Bündchen divorce as new romance emerges

Tom Brady's reported romance with Candice Swanepoel has sparked plenty of online discussion, particularly because the Victoria's Secret model once shared professional ties with his former wife, Gisele Bündchen. As speculation about the new relationship grows, questions about friendship and loyalty have also entered the conversation. However, those close to Gisele reportedly do not consider the pairing a betrayal. Their explanation offers a different perspective on the controversy, suggesting that social media reactions may have overstated the connection between the two models.Gisele Bündchen's friends address Candice Swanepoel dating Tom BradyBrady, 49, and Swanepoel, 38, have reportedly been seeing each other for some time, according to a source who spoke to Us Weekly. Their relationship became public knowledge last week, quickly drawing attention because of Swanepoel's previous professional association with Bündchen.Both women worked as Victoria's Secret Angels and crossed paths during their modelling careers. That connection prompted some social media users to question whether Swanepoel had violated an unwritten rule by dating her former colleague's ex-husband.However, a TMZ report suggests that Gisele's inner circle does not share that view.Sources familiar with the situation told the outlet that the two models were friendly and supportive of each other but never developed a particularly close personal friendship. Their professional careers brought them into the same circles, but they were not known to spend much time together outside those settings.The sources also pointed out that the women have not been seen together in recent years. As a result, people close to Bündchen reportedly believe accusations of betrayal are exaggerated.Neither Gisele nor Swanepoel has publicly addressed the growing discussion surrounding Brady's reported romance.Tom Brady reportedly enjoys Candice Swanepoel's company but avoids commitmentWhile the relationship has attracted attention, Brady reportedly has no plans to rush into another serious commitment.According to Page Six, a source familiar with the situation said the former NFL quarterback enjoys spending time with Swanepoel but is keeping things casual."Tom has been seeing Candice and really likes spending time with her,” a source exclusively shared with us Monday, adding that the retired NFL superstar, 49, isn’t “looking to jump into another serious relationship just yet.”The insider also noted that Brady has dated several women since his divorce from Bündchen in October 2022.
