Tom Brady shares cryptic post hours after reports of ex-wife Gisele Bundchen’s pregnancy with boyfriend
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Brady is understandably in an emotional state of mind amid reports that his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, is expecting a child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
According to sources, the 44-year-old model and 37-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor are set to welcome their first child together, with the news breaking on Monday, October 28.

Tom Brady shares sunset photo after Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy news
Tom Brady posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Stories following the news of his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy, on Monday, October 28.
The post featured a beautiful sunset over a serene landscape filled with grass and trees—an inviting scene perfect for escaping stress and finding tranquility. The photo was accompanied with a cover of Fleetwood Mac's classic song 'Landslide' by The Chicks.
The song, written by Stevie Nicks, reflects themes of feeling lost yet discovering one’s path. The post included three red heart emojis alongside a slideshow of the lyrics: "Oh mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child inside my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?"
Brady did not elaborate on his emotions or the intention behind the post. It’s notable that he and Bundchen finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, sharing joint custody of their children.
Did Tom Brady know Gisele Bundchen was pregnant before media reported it?
According to a source who spoke to TMZ, Gisele Bundchen informed Tom Brady and their two children about her pregnancy with Joaquim Valente's child before the news broke in the media. It's unclear how long Brady and their children were aware of Bundchen's pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Brady has not been publicly linked to anyone since their split. The source told TMZ, "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life. They’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family."
For context on Bundchen's dating life, she was first seen with Valente in November 2022 during a trip to Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, with her two children.
A source later confirmed to People in June 2024 that the model has "blossomed" since her divorce from Brady, stating, "She is secure and happy, and so busy with her life that she doesn’t have time to dwell on the negatives out there."
