Are Candice Swanepoel and Gisele Bündchen Friends? A Deep Dive Amid Candice Secretly Dating Tom Brady

News broke over the weekend that Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel are dating (and have been for months?!), which was slightly side-eye inducing given the fact that Candice runs in the same supermodel circles as Tom’s ex Gisele Bündchen. But are they friends? And what does Gisele think of this new pairing? Let’s investigate.Yes, they are both Victoria’s Secret modelsBut they’ve seemingly never walked a runway together. Gisele retired from the brand in 2006, while Candice made her debut in 2007. Sure, Gisele was technically part of this year’s show, but she filmed a separate intro and didn’t officially walk the runway with Candice.But what about social media?They don’t have photos together that we could find, but! Gisele did support Candice’s bikini line back in 2019:InstagramCandice also follows Gisele on Instagram! (Note: Gisele doesn’t follow Candice, but she only follows one person, so).So, How Is Joan Smalls Involved?Deep dive this way, but Joan has recently made it clear (through a series of comments on social) that she’s no longer friends with Candice. On top of writing “I’m not friends with backstabbers,” she hopped into Just Jared’s comments section with “Two words: SUMMER HOUSE ! That’ll explain everything.”InstagramAnd apparently Tom Brady is the reason for this feud. DeuxMoi reports that Joan and Tom “dated on and off for approximately a year” and that “Candice reportedly cautioned Joan about the relationship out of respect for Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.”But then Candice and Tom started dating, hence the Summer House reference.How Did Candice and Tom Get Together, You Ask?I guess...living in Miami? According to a People source, “They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient. They’re spending a lot of time together.” Another insider added that “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.”Stay tuned for more details as things...escalate!
