Gisele Bündchen appeared relaxed during a weekend bike ride with her husband Joaquim Valente in Miami, but new revelations about her former marriage to NFL star Tom Brady have reportedly brought difficult memories back into focus.
The 46-year-old Brazilian supermodel was photographed cycling through the streets near the couple’s Indian Creek property on Sunday. Valente, 38, accompanied her on the ride, while a young child appeared to be seated behind Bündchen.
The casual outing comes just as renewed attention surrounds Bündchen’s 13-year marriage to Brady following the release of details from an upcoming biography about the former NFL quarterback.
New book revisits Brady and Bündchen’s marriage
The renewed scrutiny stems from Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness, a biography by author Lars Anderson that is scheduled to be released on September 29.
The book examines Brady’s career and reportedly provides new details about the breakdown of his relationship with Bündchen.
Brady and Bündchen ended their marriage in October 2022 after 13 years together, finalising their divorce on the same day they filed.
Former couple remain connected through their children
Despite their divorce, Brady and Bündchen continue to share parental responsibilities for their two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13.
Brady also has a 19-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen was involved in Jack’s upbringing during her marriage to Brady.
An insider quoted by the Daily Mail said the couple’s children make it difficult for either parent to completely distance themselves from the history of their relationship.
The source claimed that Bündchen is particularly concerned about how her children might encounter stories about their parents as they grow older.
Bündchen reportedly concerned about impact on family
According to the source, Bündchen’s primary concern is not the public discussion itself but how her children may interpret the material about their parents.
The insider also suggested that she is conscious of how the continued attention could affect her current marriage to Valente.
Bündchen and Valente welcomed their first child together in early 2025 and married in December of the same year. The couple have generally kept their relationship away from the spotlight while maintaining a relatively private life in South Florida.
Valente joins Bündchen on low-key Miami outing
The latest photographs showed the couple dressed casually as they rode bicycles through their neighbourhood.
Bündchen wore a sports bra, shorts, sunglasses and a visor, while Valente opted for a black T-shirt, shorts and sunglasses.
Their home in Indian Creek is located across the water from the area where Brady lives, meaning the former couple remain geographically close as they co-parent their children.
Brady’s NFL comeback featured in new account
Anderson’s book also focuses on the period when Brady’s professional career and personal life were undergoing significant changes.
Brady had announced his retirement from the NFL before reversing that decision just 40 days later and returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for what became his 23rd season.
The decision reportedly contributed to tensions within the Brady household during the latter stages of his playing career.
Brady subsequently moved into broadcasting and is now in the third year of a reported 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox as an NFL analyst.
Divorce ended 13-year marriage
Brady and Bündchen married in 2009 and became one of the most prominent couples in American sports and entertainment.
Their divorce in 2022 brought an end to their 13-year marriage and attracted widespread public attention.
The latest book has now reopened discussion about the circumstances surrounding their separation, although the couple have since established separate lives.
For Bündchen, the ongoing connection created by their children means the former relationship remains part of her family history, even as she builds her life with Valente.
