Superstar NFL quarterback Tom Brady, 45, and retired supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 42, were one of the most good looking power couples of our time. Unfortunately, the pair hit a rough patch in their 13-year marriage over Tom’s decision to reverse his NFL retirement. Tom and Gisele officially filed for divorce on October 28 and they each released statements about the “difficult” decision.
Tom and Gisele actually almost never came to be, as two months after they began dating, his ex Bridget Moynahan, 51, revealed she was pregnant with Tom’s child. The pair stuck it out for 13 years of marriage with two children of their own. Gisele was always Tom’s biggest cheerleader through his 20+ years in the NFL, but after Tom reversed his decision to retire from the sport in March 2022, there was immediate tension between them.
The pair announced their divorce in October 2022. Since the split, Tom has decided to retire for good. The former couple have been dedicated to co-parenting, and they’ve been open about life since the split. Most recently, Gisele opened up about how the split was “tough” in a September 2023 interview with People.
Gisele revealed that after the divorce, she has been using meditation to cope with the challenges and changes in her life. She expressed that the process has been difficult for her and her family, but she is trying to navigate through it the best she can. This shows that even celebrities go through tough times and have to find ways to deal with them.
In October 2024, it was reported that Gisele was expecting a child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, her jiujitsu instructor. After her relationship with Tom Brady ended, she and Joaquim transitioned from friends to partners, and the pair are now welcoming their first child together. This will be the model’s third child, as she already has two children, Benjamin and Vivian, with her ex-husband. The news of Gisele’s new pregnancy shows that life moves on after a divorce, and people can find happiness and start new chapters in their lives.
