Patrick Bet-David offers unusual take on Tom Brady's divorce amid news of Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Minority owner of the New York Yankees Patrick Bet-David shared his opinion on the high-profile divorce between NFL legend Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen on his podcast on Friday, October 31, reported Marca.

Brady and Bundchen had finalized their separation back in October 2022. Bet-David's decision to share his thoughts on the subject came in light of Bundchen reportedly being pregnant with her new partner, Joaquim Valente.

Patrick Bet-David weighs in on Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's divorce

According to Patrick Bet-David, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen separated as a result of unique challenges that came up as a result of the two strong and high-profile personalities entering into a relationship.

He believed that the couple comprised a pair of "alphas," and claimed that it introduced ongoing tension within their dynamic. He focused on Bundchen having greater online following and financial assets compared to Brady and hinted that it might have had an effect on the relationship to back up his argument.

"I think she thought she was bigger than Brady," Bet-David said. "Go on Instagram. Who's got more followers? I think it's probably her. I think she probably thinks, 'I'm more famous than you'."

Popularity and financial assets of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen

According to Marca, Patrick Bet-David is correct in assuming Gisele Bundchen is more popular than Tom Brady. The supermodel has 23 million followers on Instagram, while the footballer has approximately 15 million.

The level of popularity is reflective of their assets. While Brady's estimated net worth stands at $250 million, his former wife enjoys almost $400 million.

Bet-David believes Bundchen's financial independence provided her the opportunity to reevaluate her life choice and choose to separate herself from Brady.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen kept the reason for their divorce private

The couple have never made the reason for their separation public over the years.

Bundchen referred to the divorce as the "death of a dream" in an interview with Vanity Fair on March 2023. She shared that it was a difficult but necessary decision for their personal growth and that she held no hard feelings towards Brady.

Since then, Bundchen has got together with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, with whom she is expecting a child at present. Brady has been more quiet about his personal life but has been linked with celebrities such as Irina Shayk and Kim Kardashian.

Brady and Bundchen remain committed co-parents of their children Vivian and Benjamin, as well as Brady's son Jack from a previous relationship.
