Brady has largely kept his romantic life private since his split from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The former couple was married from 2009 until 2022.
Since the divorce, Brady has been romantically linked to several prominent women. The names have included Kim Kardashian, Irina Shayk, Brooks Nader, Sofía Vergara, Alix Earle and Yael Cohen.
Brady won seven Super Bowls during his football career. He shares son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with Bündchen, and he is also the father of son Jack, 19, with his former partner Bridget Moynahan.
Swanepoel is also a parent. She shares sons Anacã, 10, and Ariel, 8, with her former fiancé Hermann Nicoli, whom she was with for more than a decade before their 2018 split.
Earlier this year, Brady suggested that dating was not his main priority. Speaking with People in January, he discussed the demands on his time and his focus on work and family.
“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” Brady told the outlet.
He also described his preference for maintaining a packed schedule and finding fulfillment in his professional commitments. His comments emphasized the projects and groups occupying his attention.
“I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects, and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things,” Brady continued.
Brady added that he is “so blessed in so many parts of [his] life.” The remarks offered a rare glimpse into how he was balancing work, parenthood and his limited personal time following his divorce.
Swanepoel has similarly spoken about balancing her own needs with those of her children. In a 2023 interview with V magazine, she said she was “very in tune with [her] children’s needs, then [her] own personal needs, which are also important.”
The South African model is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret. Most recently, she walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 last weekend, appearing in three distinct outfits during the event.

The dating report arrives as Brady’s marriage to Bündchen has returned to the spotlight through a recently released book. Lars Anderson’s “Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness” alleges that Bündchen ended the marriage after making a “desperate” attempt to save their union.
According to the book’s allegation, Bündchen ended her marriage of 13 years to Brady with three words: “we’re not compatible.”
