Candice Swanepoel was spotted Friday wearing a gold band on her left ring finger, and the internet immediately went into overdrive. The 38-year-old model was photographed in casual athleisure before being seen entering the garage of Tom Brady’s office building, which only added to the speculation that the two might be more serious than anyone thought.
But sources close to the situation say the romance, which has reportedly lasted for months, isn’t quite there yet. Brady, 49, is reportedly not looking to jump into another serious relationship following his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen. There’s also been some friend drama on the sidelines: Swanepoel’s friendship with Joan Smalls reportedly fractured over the romance, and Smalls posted a Halloween-themed message about“accountability”that had plenty of people reading between the lines.
So what’s the real story behind the ring? Is it an engagement, a promise, or simply a very nice piece of jewelry? We’re all watching closely, but until someone confirms anything, the rumors are going to keep spinning.
What do you think: engagement ring or just a good accessory? Sound off in the comments.
