Gisele Bundchen sees no sign of betrayal from fellow Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel over her new romance with Tom Brady, according to reports.
News emerged on Saturday night that Brady, 49, has moved on with Swanepoel, 38, after splitting from Bundchen in October 2022. Bundchen, 46, reportedly sees no issue with her ex-husband's new flame and does not view Swanepoel as breaking any unwritten rules between industry colleagues.
Sources familiar with the situation told TMZ that Bundchen does not view the relationship as a "betrayal." While the two women have moved in the same fashion circles for years and shared the spotlight for the iconic lingerie brand, their working relationship never developed into a close friendship.
Sources added that the two models have been supportive and friendly toward each other during their careers, but have not been seen together in recent years. That distance makes any suggestions of a personal feud over Brady farfetched, insiders said.
Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel dating reports
According to US Weekly, Brady and Swanepoel have been dating "for a while." Neither star has publicly addressed the reports or responded to requests for comment from the Daily Mail.
PEOPLE revealed on Sunday night that the former NFL quarterback and the South African supermodel are being extremely cautious when they meet, making deliberate efforts to keep their relationship out of the public eye.
"They've been dating for a while now," a source told PEOPLE. "They both live in Miami, so it's very convenient. They're spending a lot of time together."
Another source told the publication: "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."
Victoria's Secret runway history
Although both women are famous for their work with Victoria's Secret, they never walked the lingerie company's runway shows at the same time. Bundchen retired from her contract in 2006, which was one year before Swanepoel made her debut for the brand in 2007.
Bundchen, a Brazilian native, spent the early 2000s as one of the world's highest-profile supermodels and a headline Angel for the brand. Swanepoel later became one of the label's signature stars, and she recently returned to walk the brand's runway earlier this month.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen marriage
Brady was married to Bundchen for 13 years, with the couple tying the knot in 2009 before finalizing their divorce in October 2022. A new book recently detailed the untold story behind the end of their marriage.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion shares two children with Bundchen: 16-year-old son Benjamin and 13-year-old daughter Vivian. Brady is also father to 19-year-old son Jack, whom he welcomed with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Following his split from Bundchen, Brady has previously sparked romance rumors with model Irina Shayk and internet personality Alix Earle.
Candice Swanepoel past relationship and family
Swanepoel was previously in a nearly 14-year relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli. The two first met in 2005, when Swanepoel was 17 and Nicoli was 23, as both were building their modelling careers.
After nearly a decade together, Swanepoel and Nicoli became engaged in 2015. Three years later, in 2018, it was confirmed that the couple had separated. They share two sons together: 10-year-old Anacan and eight-year-old Ariel.
Brady and Swanepoel have continued to keep their private lives guarded in Miami, with neither addressing the relationship publicly.
