Tom Brady Sparks Friendship Rift Between Models Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel

It’s no secret that love triangles can create drama, and this one has a twist you wouldn’t expect. Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, has ignited a fierce rivalry between former best friends Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel.

The Fallout of Friendship

Sources indicate that this isn’t just a simple spat over a guy; it’s a full-blown ultimatum. Joan Smalls is reportedly so upset about Candice Swanepoel’s romance with Brady, a man she once dated, that she’s telling friends to pick sides. If you’re with Joan, you’re out of Candice's circle, and vice versa.

The two supermodels shared a bond for 15 years, but the nature of their friendship appears to be unraveling as they both navigate their relationships with the football star. It seems that sharing the runway is much easier than sharing a high-profile quarterback.

A Case of the Ex

When Smalls was linked to Brady, Swanepoel made her feelings clear, pushing Joan to move on from the athlete. Fast forward to now, and what was once a platonic support has morphed into a romantic twist that has the potential to shatter a long-standing friendship.

Insiders note that after discovering Swanepoel’s connection with Brady, Smalls has let her feelings be known, even throwing shade at her former BFF on social media. One telling comment from Joan reads, “Two words: ‘SUMMER HOUSE!’” – likely a jab referencing the Bravo show where friendships have similarly fallen apart over romantic entanglements.

Social Media Feud

Screenshots, allegedly from Smalls, have made the rounds, with Joan branding Candice a “backstabber.” In one now-deleted post, she expressed the disappointment of betrayal after so many years of friendship. “There was no girl code,” she insisted, echoing the weight of her hurt feelings after 15 years together and no apology in sight.

A representative for Swanepoel responded, emphasizing Candice's commitment to her children and her longstanding respect for her friendship with Joan. The situation highlights the complexities of their relationship and how turbulent emotions can overshadow years of companionship.

Brady’s New Romance

As for Tom Brady, sources suggest he and Swanepoel have been an item since May, following a setup by mutual friends. The situation has led to speculation about the nature of his relationships post-divorce from Gisele Bündchen. Brady has been linked to a list of names since the split, but this connection with Candice seems to be taking a life of its own.

There’s even word from insiders that Gisele is on board with the blossoming romance, showcasing how small the celebrity world can be.
