Brady Posts Cryptic Message Amid Romance and Friendship Rumors

Tom Brady posted a message to his Instagram Story on November 5, accompanied by three heart emojis: “You are not responsible for correcting every false version of you that exists in someone else’s head.” He did not explain what prompted it or who it might concern.

The post came amid attention around Brady’s reported relationship with Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel and speculation about a falling-out between Swanepoel and fellow model Joan Smalls. Smalls has also been linked to Brady in the past. There is no confirmation that his message was about either the rumored disagreement or his dating life.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly confirmed a relationship. Swanepoel’s representative said in an October 28 statement that she keeps her personal life private and is focused on raising her children. The representative also described Swanepoel and Smalls as longtime friends, adding that Swanepoel respects their friendship.

Brady, 49, has three children: two with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and one with former partner Bridget Moynahan. Swanepoel, 38, has two children with her ex, Hermann Nicoli. The rumors about the models’ relationship and Brady’s post remain unaddressed by the people involved.
