Gisele Bündchen’s recent pregnancy announcement caught many by surprise, including her ex-husband Tom Brady. Sources close to the situation revealed that the news came as a shock to the former NFL quarterback.
The supermodel, who is expecting a child with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, had been romantically linked to Valente for some time. However, the pregnancy was unexpected, even for those in their inner circle.
Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They share two children together: Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. Brady also has a son, Jack, 16, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
An insider shared that Brady was taken aback by the news but is trying to maintain a positive outlook. The source explained that while Brady wishes Bündchen well, he’s still processing the situation.
The relationship dynamics between Brady and Bündchen have been complex since their split. According to one source, “Tom’s great, a very nice, normal guy — Gisele is … very different. She really blows hot and cold.”
Despite the initial shock, it’s reported that Brady is focused on co-parenting and maintaining a cordial relationship with Bündchen for the sake of their children. The former couple has been spotted together at their children’s events, demonstrating their commitment to putting their kids first.
As for Bündchen and Valente, their relationship has been the subject of speculation for months. The couple was first linked in November 2022, shortly after Bündchen’s divorce from Brady was finalized. They’ve been seen together numerous times since, often engaging in outdoor activities and spending time with Bündchen’s children.
The pregnancy news has sparked discussions about the timing and its impact on the dynamics between all parties involved. However, sources emphasize that the focus remains on ensuring the well-being of the children and maintaining respectful relationships among the adults.
As the situation continues to unfold, it’s clear that all parties are navigating this new chapter with care and consideration for their blended family.
