Tom Brady is reportedly struggling to come to terms with the fact that his former wife of 13 years, Gisele Bündchen, has moved on with her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. According to reports from Radar Online, the retired NFL quarterback harbors suspicions about the supermodel’s new relationship, believing that she may have been involved with Valente while they were still together.
A source close to the situation disclosed to the publication, “Tom understands that reconciling with Gisele is unlikely, but that doesn’t make this situation any less difficult for him.” Following her divorce from Brady in 2022, Bündchen sparked speculation about a romance with Valente, although insiders initially denied these rumors.
“He can’t help but wonder how long it’s been going on,” the insider added of the athlete’s suspicion, adding, “Tom was left feeling very suspicious by their sudden romance.” “Brady’s having trouble getting past it,” the continued. “He feels like a fool.”
While Bündchen has not officially confirmed her relationship with Valente, insiders claim she is displaying behavior typical of someone deeply in love, leaving Brady in a state of emotional distress. Furthermore, the source alleges that Brady has postponed his post-football career plans in hopes of salvaging his relationship with Bündchen.
According to the publication, Brady delayed a lucrative $375 million broadcasting deal with FOX Sports to dedicate time and effort towards repairing his fractured marriage.
They said, “The biggest obstacle between them was Gisele’s complaints about Tom putting football before family, so he decided to show her he’s willing to focus on them before taking the job.” “His only goal right now is to get his family back.”
