Tom Brady was reportedly taken aback by the news of his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen’s pregnancy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
Sources close to Brady reveal that the NFL star found the news “hard to swallow,” as it stirred up old emotions.
The couple, who divorced in 2022, share two children, and Bündchen is now expecting her third child, her first with Valente, two years after beginning a new chapter with him.
Gisele’s Journey to Motherhood with Joaquim
The 44-year-old supermodel, already a mother to Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, confirmed her pregnancy with Valente, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor she has been romantically linked with since late 2022.
Sources shared that Bündchen informed her children before breaking the news to Brady, who reportedly needed time to process the situation.
“It stung,” an insider noted, adding that Brady’s reaction was understandable given the sudden nature of the announcement.
Tom’s Private Struggle with the News
Though Brady kept his feelings private, those close to him could sense the disappointment.
According to insiders, “Only a few people see the real Tom, but those who did saw he was upset.”
Over time, however, Brady accepted that he could not control the situation and decided to let go of his lingering emotions.
Recognizing that Bündchen has moved forward, he has chosen to focus on his role as a father to Benjamin and Vivian and a supportive co-parent.
Embracing the Growing Family
Friends say Brady is prepared to welcome his children’s new half-sibling into the family, much as Bündchen embraced his son, Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
“Gisele accepted and loved Jack wholeheartedly back when she and Tom were together,” a source remarked, “so Tom wants to offer the same respect to her new child.”
For Brady, his ex-wife’s family will always remain interconnected with his own.
Brady’s Quiet Reflection and Social Media Post
While Brady has refrained from publicly commenting on the pregnancy, he recently shared a contemplative social media post, quoting lyrics from Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.”
The wistful caption read, “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?” accompanied by a serene sunset photo, hinting at a reflective mood.
Gisele’s Happiness and Support from Her Children
While Bündchen’s pregnancy may have been unplanned, she and Valente are reportedly thrilled by the news.
A source close to the couple mentioned that Valente had always wanted a family, and Bündchen is delighted to share this joy with him.
“She saw his potential as a father early on,” the source revealed, explaining that Bündchen’s children are “absolutely thrilled” by the pregnancy.
A New Chapter Together
Gisele and Joaquim, who started dating officially in June 2023 after a close friendship, are eagerly preparing for the arrival of their child.
Sources close to the couple hinted that a wedding might also be in their future, as they focus on creating a loving, blended family.
