Tom Brady is reportedly causing tension between Victoria’s Secret models. Rumors suggest he is dating model Candice Swanepoel. This development has allegedly sparked a feud with fellow model and friend Joan Smalls.
According to Page Six, Swanepoel and Smalls, who have been close friends for 15 years, have had a falling out. Smalls allegedly dated Brady on and off for about a year. Sources indicate that Smalls is urging mutual friends to choose sides, leading to discord within their circle.
“And the disrespect and carelessness in how they treat you is so unimaginable. There’s no going back,” Smalls reportedly wrote in since-deleted social media comments.
Smalls has accused Swanepoel of being a backstabber and claimed she violated “girl code.” She expressed frustration about feeling gaslit and undervalued after their long friendship.
Swanepoel, known for her privacy, has not publicly addressed these claims. Her representative emphasized her focus on her children and respect for her friendship with Smalls.
Brady divorced supermodel Gisele Bündchen in October 2022, after 13 years of marriage. He shares two children with Bündchen and also has a son with actress Bridget Moynahan. Brady’s links to other high-profile women post-divorce include Russian model Irina Shayk, actress Sofia Vergara, and social media personality Alix Earle.
The reported drama did not prevent Swanepoel and Smalls from both participating in the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
