The post came as reports continued to circulate about an alleged falling-out between Swanepoel, 38, and her longtime friend, Victoria's Secret model Joan Smalls, 38, who reportedly also had a fling with Brady at one point.

But there's no confirmation that Brady's message has anything to do with the rumored disagreement.

Neither Brady nor Swanepoel has publicly commented on dating rumors, despite mounting interest in the couple's relationship.

According to recent reports, the two are perfectly happy keeping things quiet for now.

Shortly after the dating rumors went viral, Swanepoel's rep told "Us Weekly," "Candice has always been exceptionally private about her personal life, with her focus remaining on raising her children."

Brady was first linked to the supermodel in October, although sources have claimed that the pair have been quietly seeing each other for months.

A source told "Us Weekly" on Oct. 24 that the retired NFL quarterback and model have been seeing each other "for a while."

Another source told "People" Brady and Swanepoel met through mutual friends in Miami.

“They'd been running in the same circles," the source told the outlet. "She’s enjoying spending time with him. He’s very attentive and makes an effort to make things special. She’s been impressed by that.”

Apparently, the two have found creative ways to spend time together without being noticed.

The source explained that Brady and Swanepoel have favorite hotspots in Miami where they can go and enjoy privacy, despite their celebrity status.

They also have quite a bit in common.

Both love fitness and certainly aren't shy about posing in front of the cameras.

They also both understand the challenges of balancing parenthood with a demanding career.
