I wouldn't consider any of those models part of Candice's inner circle. Yes, they've been good friends with her for years, but her inner circle of friends can't consist of people she sees only once or twice a year. I do consider Eduardo part of it, for example, even though they seem a little more distant now, but we’ve seen Eduardo with her almost every week, spending a lot of time together; at times, it even seems like they’ve lived together for a while.

But Behati lives on the other coast of the United States, while Doutzen (Amsterdam) and Rosie (London) don’t even live on the same continent as Candice. Based on what they’ve shown us, in fact, I’d say the only model I would have considered part of Candice’s inner circle, someone I imagine her talking to every day or almost every day, was Joan, who also lives in Miami like her.

Candice’s real inner circle will consist of people we don’t know (and that’s perfectly fine), people from her everyday life, whom she’s met at the gym, at the office where she works on her Tropic of C brand, other moms from the activities she takes her kids to, and so on.

Being in someone's inner circle doesn't require them to be nearby or to see each other regularly... If, as reported, she's being secretive and selective about this situation, I highly doubt she's opening up about it to her son's friend's moms or people at the gym (outside of Justin). I can understand the TOC people like Daniela though.

Joan doesn't live in Miami. Her sister lives in Boca Raton so she visits.

Something I noticed that Candice liked on Instagram that I thought was interesting... drama aside, this break with Joan and her circle might be the best thing for Candice in the long run. It felt like Candice never truly "fit in" with their circle or lifestyle. Seeing pictures of her with Behati and Rosie again this year (both at the VSFS and otherwise), reinforced that those friendships always felt more natural and solid than with Joan/Joan's circle. She's definitely still close to Jerome, and I think Lais, too. And there's Ali, of course. Eduardo posted a story on Candice's birthday saying "best friends are forever", so they're good, too. And she obviously has friends we don't know of, or may be closer to other people than we realize. While this is all unnecessary drama for Candice, I think she'll be fine without Joan/Joan's circle. She certainly has been for months now.

Joan has/had an apartment in Miami, but she lives in New York. I think Lais is her closest model friend in Miami (from what we've seen).

Well, all the models have their own homes and then spend a lot of time in New York for work, Lais herself has most of her posts set in NY. I'm not even sure if Lais lives in Miami, judging by a post she shared a few months ago, in which she was attending an Art Basel Week event in Miami, she was staying at a hotel there.

Lais and Joakim definitely have a place in Miami which has been shown a few times on their IG. Probably she was attending some events and posted about the hotel as part of some sponsorship, unless they moved out in the last year.

Well, I consider my inner circle to be those people I spend the most time with, the ones I talk to the most. Of course, I have friends I see maybe two or three times a year, and I have a great time with them, I consider them friends, but I wouldn’t say they’re part of my inner circle, nor am I part of theirs. Maybe we just have different definitions of what an inner circle is, and that’s fine. Maybe Candice texts with Doutzen or Rosie every day or every few days, we can’t know for sure, but I’m not sure if that’s the most likely scenario.

As for the other thing, I'm not saying that Candice is telling just anyone at the gym or all the mothers of her kids' friends about her relationship with Brady, I'm saying that it's likely she may have made a good friend as a result of those situations, just to give some examples of what I imagine her daily life to be like, which, in the end, I guess isn’t all that different from that of the rest of us mortals. Her friends will be normal women (albeit wealthy like her, since Candice moves in those circles, it's normal) with whom she’ll grab coffee in the morning, have lunch, or go out to dinner some night of the week, not necessarily other supermodels.

As for Joan, I suppose we can’t know for sure where she lives. I imagine she splits her time between New York (when she has more work) and Miami (when she has more free time). We do know that she has (or had, in case she sold it and it hasn’t been made public) an apartment in Miami, it was even featured in the September 2019 issue of Elle Decor (the magazine’s home decor supplement), where she showed off her apartment and talked about how she decorated it. Whether she’s sold it and stopped living in Miami, I don’t know.

That makes sense. After all, Miami is the go-to city for all the Latina supermodels and celebs (or those heavily influenced by latin culture like Candice) such as Lais, Joan, Gisele since her divorce from Brady, or Adriana for much of her life even though she now lives in another city.

Although I also feel it’s a little absurd to talk about where these people live since they travel so much and have so much money that they can afford to buy/rent several homes in different cities lol. You look at Joakim’s Instagram and every week it seems like he’s in a different place. Let’s see if we get to see more of Candice with Lais now, I like their friendship, but lately they haven’t been seen together as much.

I genuinely wonder who she hangs out with when she isn't with Joan and the group. It doesn't appear she goes out with the Brazilians anymore. When Eduardo has been in town in the past, she's been with him. He basically lives at her house, but that hasn't happened often this year.

She’s probably just focus on raising her kids and working on tropic of c and now probably tom lbvs. She probably has friends that we don’t know about.

I believe he has or had an NBA ambassador role but I can't remember exactly what it was. I do remember he made a lot of travels to boost NBA in Africa and Lais went with him sometimes and brought Jerome with them.

Candice has always given me the impression that, despite what everyone might think (given that she’s famous and, well, a lingerie model), she’s actually a shy and introverted person. She’s not like Behati, for example, who gives off the vibe of being the kind of person you could leave alone on the street and within 10 minutes she’d have made five new friends. I think I even remember hearing Candice say that about herself.

So it wouldn’t surprise me if she isn’t the kind of person with a busy social life and dozens of friends to make plans with, as some might think. She strikes me as someone who’s pretty much a homebody and family-oriented, with a few friends but close to them, which is why I feel bad that things ended up this way with Joan, even though she may have been partly to blame for the situation.

Yeah, something like that. He’s an ambassador for NBA Africa, an African basketball league sponsored by the NBA. And he seems to be part of the “NBA Take Two Media” project, a company formed by the NBA and Take-Two (the video game company responsible for developing the NBA 2K games), which produces content featuring former players like him. He’s doing a series called Nomad, which obviously consists of videos of him traveling all over the world to very different countries, such as Senegal, South Korea, Serbia or Puerto Rico.

I think the friendship with Behati has been much more about publicity than something truly intimate—unlike her relationship with Doutzen, who, if I recall correctly, seemed like a sister to her. Still, it’s great to see them together again. Some friendships only grow stronger after many years... Given this whole scandal with Joan, I hope the other girls are supporting her. She needs a friend who will tell her straight out what of ☠️ Tom is, and point out her poor choices—she deserves so much better than a man who can’t stay faithful to any woman he dates.

I think she gets along well with Behati (in general, everyone seems to get along with Behati—she seems like a charismatic woman who doesn't take herself too seriously), but yeah, I don’t think you can say they’re close. That friendship comes from the whole thing about promoting the fact that they’re both African sisters and all that, but it doesn’t seem like anything deep.

She’s definitely had a great relationship with Doutzen, they’ve gone on vacation together (and with Joan lol) on their own several times over the years (which she doesn’t seem to have ever done with Behati or Rosie, at least as far as we can tell from what they’ve posted on social media), but Doutzen has been living somewhat in her own little bubble at her home and garden in Amsterdam for years now, so Idk if we can count on her.

To me, the worst part of all this is that I really doubt Candice doesn't know exactly what Brady is like and what kind of reputation he has, everyone knows it, but she seems not to care. And I don’t buy that it’s because she just wants a superficial relationship to have fun and sex, because if that were the case, I seriously doubt Candice wouldn’t be able to find men who are more attractive than Brady, closer to her age and far less famous than Brady, just like she did back in the day with Pietro or Velencoso. I seriously doubt that the media frenzy that comes with being Brady's new girlfriend (and losing her friendship with one of her best friends) is worth it just to have a few quick flings with a well-preserved fifty-year-old man. She knows what she's getting herself into, for whatever reason.

Yeah, she has said in past interviews that she's an introvert and a homebody. It seems she prefers more low-key events for her personal life.

As an aside, I realized that Tom and Joan were at the White Party this summer.

I think Brady hasn't missed a White Party in years, he's a very good friend and business partner of the organizer, Michael Rubin. And even if he weren't friends with Rubin, it still doesn't seem like a bad plan for him... knowing that there are always models and other attractive women at that party.

It’s probably casual and not exclusive with tom. She could do way better than him and find a man that will respect her. There’s no way she would be with a guy who cheated on her early on in a relationship. As the saying goes, once a cheater always a cheater. From what I have seen, tom is just with a female for a couple of months and moves on to another one so she just wasting her time with him. He still prioritizes his work over his kids, he’s also exposing his kids on his IG just to show that he’s “a great father”. Candice doesn’t post her kids nowadays for their privacy. I guess now it’s a waiting game so see whether they are really dating.

I honestly think Candice definitely knows what Tom is like. He probably sleeps around with so many girls in the industry (and there's definitely a long list of names we don't even know about). There is zero chance she’s clueless about his track record. Sometimes, certain women just get this ego boost thinking they can 'fix' a fuckboy and be the one to make him stop. It's literally a challenge to them. She might be having that exact mindset right now with him.

The tans are criminal, whoever thought people like it needs to be sued.

Was Dawn backstage doing manicure this year?

Now that's interesting because he was caught with AE but probably had to see Joan somewhere
