Fans Have A Lot to Say About Tom Brady and Girlfriend Candice Swanepoel’s Age Difference
Tom Brady has a new woman in his life and she’s an Angel, just like his ex-wife.
A source confirmed to Us Weekly that the NFL GOAT is dating Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel. While neither have publicly commented on their relationship, an insider told the publication that they have been together “for a while,” but did not share a specific timeline.
Another source told People, they both live in the Sunshine State which has made dating easier, explaining, “They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient. They’re spending a lot of time together.”
Fans haven’t been able to stop buzzing about this new celebrity couple. Here are some reactions to the news and their age difference.
Brady and Swanepoel’s age gap
Swanepoel was born in Mooi River, South Africa on Oct. 20, 1988. The 7-time Super Bowl Champion was born in San Mateo, California, on Aug. 3, 1977, making him 11 years and two months older than Swanepoel.
The Victoria’s Secret Angel isn’t first model Brady has been in relationship with. He was of course married to former VS Angel Gisele Bündchen for 13 years, and following their divorce he was also linked to supermodel Irina Shayk before they reportedly called it quits.
Prior to dating models, Brady was with Blue Bloods actress Bridget Moynahan with whom he shares his eldest son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.
As for Swanepoel, she was engaged to Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. They were together for 14 years and welcomed two sons, Anacã and Ariel, before splitting.
Fan reactions to their age difference and dating news
So what do fans think about Swanepoel and Brady’s relationship? Some compared Swanepoel and Bündchen and called the former an “upgrade” while noting that she’s younger than Brady’s first wife.
One commenter wrote, “Candice is very pretty and young. Tom knows how to find a better one.”
Another agreed adding, “Got a girl younger and better looking than his ex-wife with ease.”
“Good for him an upgrade for sure,” a third chimed in.
But not everyone shares that opinion as others posted, “Wow, he really messed up with Gisele. He will never get any better than her” and “No one can ever compare to Gisele.”
Another commenter wasn’t a fan of the age difference saying, “Age gap relationships are gross.”
One person quickly replied to that comment arguing, “An 11 year age difference is nothing in Celeb World. Nor the real world.”
