Tom Brady may have officially retired from football, but apparently, he has found another game to keep him busy.
This time, it has nothing to do with touchdowns, quarterbacks, or Super Bowl rings. The NFL legend is reportedly dating supermodel Candice Swanepoel, and the rumors are already getting people talking.
According to reports, Brady and Swanepoel have been spending plenty of time together. And naturally, the internet is doing what it does best. People are connecting the dots, analyzing every little detail, and preparing wedding hashtags before the couple has even confirmed anything publicly.
PEOPLE can confirm that the retired football player, 49, and the model, 38, are dating. Us Weekly was first to report the news.
“They’ve been dating for a while now,” a source tells PEOPLE, indicating that Brady and Swanepoel have been seeing each other for at least a few months.
“They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient,” adds the insider. “They’re spending a lot of time together.”
Brady dominated football, while Swanepoel conquered the runway. If the dating rumors turn out to be true, this could be one seriously glamorous pairing.
Another source tells PEOPLE, “Candice and Tom have been dating for months. She’s been very secretive and selective about who she’s told about their dating. When they have met up, they’ve gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted.”
Of course, celebrity dating rumors can move faster than Brady’s offense during its prime. One minute, two famous people are reportedly spending time together, the next minute, everyone is discussing their compatibility, relationship history, and potential future children.
The internet does not believe in taking things slowly.
Brady was previously married to Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022. The pair share two children together: son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13.
The NFL alum is also a dad to son John, 19, with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, and Bündchen, 46, is also a mom to a son she welcomed with her husband, Joaquim Valente, in February 2025.
Swanepoel, meanwhile, dated ex Hermann Nicoli for 14 years. They got engaged in 2015, but they later split in 2018.
The former pair share two children together: sons Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 7.
Whether this becomes a serious relationship or simply another celebrity dating rumor remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: Brady might be done throwing footballs professionally, but he is not done keeping people entertained.
