Joan Smalls & Candice Swanepoel's Friendship Fallout
23 Oct
Summary
- Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel's friendship is reportedly over.
- Allegedly, Tom Brady is at the center of their falling out.
- Joan Smalls alluded to the drama on social media.
Victoria's Secret models Joan Smalls and Candice Swanepoel, once close friends, are reportedly embroiled in a significant fallout. The alleged rift surfaced when fans noticed the absence of joint posts from the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Smalls cryptically commented on a social media post, stating, "im not friends with backstabbers," and alluded to "SUMMER HOUSE" as an explanation for the drama. This suggests a situation mirroring public friendship breakups over romantic entanglements.
Rumors, however, point to Tom Brady, ex-partner of fellow Angel Gisele Bündchen, as the potential cause. A tipster suggested Smalls was involved with Brady, and Swanepoel allegedly cautioned her about Gisele's feelings, only to reportedly become involved with Brady herself.
Further complicating the situation, Tom Brady reportedly ended things with Swanepoel after an alleged encounter with Alix Earle. Neither Smalls nor Swanepoel have officially commented on the specifics of the rumored feud or Brady's alleged involvement as of October 23, 2026.
