USA’s NFL legend Tom Brady’s reported romance with model Candice Swanepoel seems to have caused a rift between Swanepoel and her close friend of 15 years, fellow model Joan Smalls.

Smalls, 38, reportedly had an interest in Brady, 49, and was allegedly advised by Swanepoel, also 38, to respect his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who ended their 13-year marriage in 2022.
