Tom Brady has reportedly responded to the news that his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, has welcomed a baby with her new partner, Joaquim Valente, Today’s Esquire reported.
According to sources close to the NFL icon, Brady is supportive of Bündchen’s new chapter and has extended his well wishes to the Brazilian supermodel. Another insider even suggested that Brady personally reached out to congratulate Gisele on the birth of her child.
Gisele’s New Beginning With Joaquim Valente
Earlier today, TMZ confirmed that Bündchen had given birth, with reports indicating that both mother and child are healthy. However, details regarding the baby’s name and gender remain undisclosed.
Bündchen, 43, shares two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with Brady. Throughout their marriage, which lasted from 2009 to 2022, she also played an active role in the life of Brady’s eldest son, Jack, 17, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Despite her split from Brady, Bündchen and Jack appear to have maintained a close bond, with sources stating that she still sees him as family.
Following her divorce, Bündchen moved on with Joaquim Valente, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainer, with whom she had been working since 2021. Their romantic relationship became public in June 2023, just months after her divorce from Brady was finalized.
Tom Brady’s Unexpected Reaction
While some fans speculated that Brady might be unsettled by Bündchen’s growing family, sources suggest otherwise.
“He’s genuinely happy for Gisele,” a source told Page Six, adding that Brady had already come to terms with her moving on.
Reports from February 2024 indicated that Bündchen and Valente were “deeply in love”, after they were seen packing on PDA in Miami on Valentine’s Day. However, the supermodel denied any romantic involvement with Valente before her split from Brady, saying that people don’t know the full story.
“That’s a lie. No one really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship,” she told The New York Times in March 2024.
By October 2024, Bündchen and Valente’s relationship took a major step forward when news broke that she was expecting his child. The supermodel confirmed the pregnancy a month later, appearing at the Lotus House Gala with her baby bump on full display.
At the time, insiders claimed that Brady “never imagined” his ex-wife would have another child after their split.
Brady’s Life After Gisele
Since his divorce, Brady has been linked to several high-profile women, including Irina Shayk and Brooks Nader. However, none of his rumored relationships have been publicly confirmed.
For now, Brady appears focused on co-parenting his children while navigating his post-NFL career. Bündchen, on the other hand, embraces motherhood once again, this time with Joaquim Valente by her side.
