Tom Brady is reportedly offering his support to ex-wife Gisele Bündchen following the birth of her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Sources close to the supermodel confirm that both she and the baby are “happy and healthy.”
Bündchen, 43, shares two children—Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 11—with Brady. The former couple finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. While reports indicate that Brady was initially “stunned” by news of Bündchen’s pregnancy last year, an insider told Page Six that he “wishes her nothing but the best.”
The exact timing of Bündchen’s delivery remains unclear, and she has yet to publicly share details such as the baby’s name or gender. The Brazilian model was first linked to Valente, her jiujitsu instructor, in June 2023. While sources suggest the pregnancy was unplanned, Bündchen is reportedly excited about this new chapter in her life, told Daily Mail.
Brady, 47, has been preparing for his debut as an NFL broadcaster at this weekend’s Super Bowl, but sources say he has struggled to move on romantically since the divorce. Though the pregnancy news “stung” at first, insiders claim he has since come to terms with it.
In addition to Benjamin and Vivian, Brady has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Following Bündchen’s announcement, the retired quarterback shared cryptic messages on social media, quoting Fleetwood Mac’s song Landslide and a speech by Theodore Roosevelt—posts that some interpreted as reflective of his personal struggles.
Despite any lingering emotions, sources emphasize that Brady remains focused on his professional endeavors and co-parenting responsibilities. Meanwhile, Bündchen appears to be embracing her growing family with Valente, marking a significant new phase in her life.
As both navigate their post-divorce paths, the dynamic between Brady, Bündchen, and Valente will undoubtedly continue to draw attention. However, those close to the former couple insist that their priority remains the well-being of their children, ensuring a balanced co-parenting relationship as they move forward.
