Brady and Swanepoel have focused on raising their kids in past years, sharing few details about their love lives. In the case of Brady, he's been linked to various women following his divorce from Bundchen, including Kim Kardashian, Irina Shayk, and Alix Earle.
In the case of Swanepoel she dated her ex Nicoli for 14 years. A couple of years ago, Swanepoel opened up about her kids. “Life is a constant search for balance, for me at least, and yes I do sometimes feel overwhelmed, but I’m very in tune with my children’s needs, then my own personal needs, which are also important,” she told V Magazine a couple of years ago.
“Sometimes it’s easy to forget. I’ve realized to be a better mother, I know I need to also take care of myself, whether that be about my [physical] health or mental health or being able to excel in my career and business because it brings me joy and so my children have begun to understand that too.”
