Recently, Tom Brady took to Instagram Stories to share a message following the announcement that his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, is expecting a child with her new partner, Joaquim Valente. At 44, Bündchen is set to welcome her first child with Valente, who is 35, while she shares two children—Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11—with Brady.
In his Instagram post, Brady shared a serene sunset image accompanied by the song “Landslide,” performed by The Chicks—a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s classic. The poignant lyrics reflect themes of introspection and change, featuring lines that ask if love can transcend challenges, complemented by heart emojis.
This subtly cryptic post led some observers to speculate about Brady’s possible reflections on Gisele’s pregnancy. According to reports from DailyMail.com, Bündchen informed her children about the pregnancy and updated Brady before the news became public.
A source revealed that the pregnancy was unexpected for the couple, stating, “Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him.” The source noted that Bündchen feels confident in Valente’s abilities as a parent, having witnessed his interactions with her children during their Jiu Jitsu classes.
The source further emphasized that Bündchen’s children are excited about the news, highlighting Valente’s presence in their lives since 2021 when he began coaching them. “They love him and look to him as a father figure,” the insider shared.
Beyond this new chapter, the couple’s relationship may evolve further, with reports indicating that “A wedding is going to happen in the future.” Additionally, a different insider told People magazine about their mutual happiness regarding the pregnancy and their commitment to fostering a nurturing family environment.
Rumors of Bündchen and Valente’s romantic involvement began circulating after they were spotted together in Costa Rica in late 2022, although they initially denied any romantic ties. However, sources later clarified that their relationship had developed since the summer of 2023, beginning as a friendship before evolving into something more.
Previous reports also suggested that Bündchen’s transformation post-divorce from Brady has been significant. She reportedly feels secure and fulfilled in her personal life, focusing on her own happiness and the positive aspects of her new chapter.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022. In his announcement, Brady expressed gratitude for their time together and acknowledged the challenges that come with such decisions, especially regarding co-parenting their children. He noted the importance of ensuring their children continue to feel love and support from both parents.
In her own statement, Bündchen emphasized her love for their children and the commitment to co-parenting amicably. She reflected on their time together fondly while asking for privacy during this personal transition.
