Tom Brady has won more than a few Super Bowls over his 23-year career — seven, to be exact — and even though he isn’t on the field anymore, he’s still on everyone’s minds. Besides being in awe of the $740,000 wrist watch he wore during his Fox Sports Super Bowl 2025 commentary, people are talking about something else: his face.

Of course, Brady is handsome, no doubt about it, and all the Netflix roasts in the world won’t change that. He spends most of his time on camera, with his face front and center, and, as is customary for those in the public eye, the authenticity of his physical features has become a hot button topic. So, is it true that the football legend has had cosmetic procedures?

What happened to Tom Brady’s face? Is it plastic surgery?

As soon as fans saw Brady at the 2025 Super Bowl, they thought his face looked different and much thinner. While there have been rumors about Brady getting plastic surgery for several years now, he has never commented on the legitimacy of them.

According to Hello! Magazine, it’s possible Brady’s face looks different because he lost weight. In a 2023 episode of the podcast Let’s Go, he said, “I’m down about 10 lbs., but I’m actually very fit right now. I haven’t had the stress that I had while I was playing, so that’s allowed me to focus a little bit more on my physical health.”

People had started asking questions about Brady’s face before the 2025 Super Bowl (as well as questions about his sports announcer career). According to Dr. Brandon Richland, Brady’s forehead and eyes look different, which could suggest Botox. His cheeks seem more full and his jawline also looks more prominent. As Dr. Richland pointed out, some stars feel they have to appear young forever, which leads to treatments like Botox. Longevita.com also notes that people have wondered if Brady got veneers and a hair transplant.

There has been so much chatter about Brady’s face that Nikki Glazer was even going to include a joke about it in her Netflix roast. According to Variety, she cut the joke from the roast but shared what she planned on saying during The Howard Stern Show: “Tom, I love your work — that you’ve done on your face. Seriously, slow down. What is happening with your cheeks? You look like a Ken doll that was microwaved.” Ouch!

Some might say it makes sense that Brady’s ten-pound weight loss changed his face and made it look the way it does. Some might argue his cheeks could only look like that from cosmetic procedures. But Brady has never said he got plastic surgery, and we have to take him at his word.

At the very least, it makes sense that even though wild training days are no longer part of his life, the athlete would still be committed to living a healthy lifestyle. In an interview with People, he said, “I don’t think it’s a diet. I think it’s just a lifestyle, and I don’t think it’s super regimented.” He added that when he indulges in ice cream, it’s “good ice cream” instead of “some s—y 7-Eleven ice cream” (sorry, 7-Eleven). He also eats according to his TB12 Method, and even wrote a book about it, which was published in 2017. His diet is 20% foods from animals and 80% plant foods and he doesn’t eat fried food or processed food. Okay, forget rumors about his face… Does Brady really not eat French fries?!

Tom Brady wants everyone to know he is not moping about his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen’s big baby news. Just a day after it was revealed that the supermodel had welcomed her child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, the retired NFL superstar took to social media to share a cryptic message about love.

“I really think the secret to being loved is to love,” read the quote Brady, 47, shared on his Instagram Story on Thursday, Feb. 6, according to Page Six. The quote continued, “And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to have others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.”

Brady, who’s no stranger to love drama, seemingly doubled down on his agreement with the quote’s message by commenting with three red heart emojis and writing a short caption that read, “Love this.” Though the seven-time Super Bowl champ did not mention anything remotely related to his ex-wife, the timing of his post is very telling. It’s as if he’s telling everyone he is not letting Bündchen’s new chapter get under his skin.

Moreover, another way to interpret this is that Brady must have accepted the fact there there’s no longer love, interest, and friendship in the cards for them. After all, they quickly terminated their marriage by finalizing their divorce on the same day they filed for it on Oct. 28, 2022, throwing away 13 years of marriage in an instant.

Bündchen, 44, and Brady share two children — son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12. Brady also shares a 17-year-old son, Jack, with his ex Bridget Moynahan. During their marriage, the model acted as a second mother to Jack. Despite their divorce, she still treats her stepson no different, with Bündchen still sharing photos of Jack on her social media, as per Hello! Magazine.

Now that the Devil Wears Prada actress has a son with a new partner, it seems very unlikely for Brady to foster the same kind of love and relationship she extended to her son from another relationship. However, there’s a chance for him to meet his ex-wife’s little bundle of joy as they continue to co-parent their children.

Meanwhile, let’s not forget Brady’s track record of eyebrow-raising social media posts in the wake of Bündchen’s romantic developments with the jiu-jitsu instructor. Back in October 2024, when news broke that she was expecting, Brady shared a photo of a sunset paired with The Chicks’ “Landslide” – a song about life’s ups and downs. Then, just a week later, he posted another head-scratcher about falling short “again and again.”

Sources told Page Six that Brady was “stunned” when he learned that she was pregnant with Valente’s child. “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least,” one source said. Other sources said he was blindsided by the pregnancy news.

Still, it seems Brady’s not holding grudges. An insider shared that the ex-NFL star reached out to his ex to offer his congratulations at the time. It’s unclear if he did the same when Bündchen finally gave birth to her son on Wednesday, Feb. 5. As of late, details are scarce about what went down when the newest member of their extended family arrived. What’s known for now is that the child’s middle name is River, according to a source who disclosed this information to People.

Tom Brady has officially checked off another milestone in his post-divorce life, and it’s one for the books! The retired quarterback is finally ready to move into his sprawling Los Angeles mansion, a project he began back in 2020 when he was still enjoying the happier times with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Located in the star-studded Brentwood neighborhood, the jaw-dropping 14,000-square-foot estate is evidence of Brady’s luxe lifestyle as a single man. Designed from the ground up after he had the original property demolished, the sleek two-story home features in-ground pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, and even turf installations in the backyard and second-level outdoor spaces.

According to the Daily Mail, the 47-year-old retired athlete’s neighbors in the area are mostly part of Hollywood’s elite, including Jennifer Garner, Alessandra Ambrosio, Chris Pratt, and Bruce Willis. It seems the seven-time Super Bowl champ is settling into the A-list life in more ways than one once he starts residing in his new mansion.

However, Brady isn’t really confining himself to the West Coast. With a staggering net worth of around $300 million, it does not come as a surprise that the father of three has other properties elsewhere. For instance, he also has a mansion on Miami’s ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Island, also known as “Billionaire Bunker.”

In November, he showed off the luxurious property on Instagram while echoing a reminder to his ex-wife about the “commitment” they once shared when they bought the $17 million estate four years before his retirement. It seems the mansion was supposed to be the home they wanted to spend the rest of their lives in with their children. Brady and Bündchen, 44, are parents to son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12. The supermodel also serves as the second mom to Brady’s 17-year-old son, Jack, from his past romance with Bridget Moynahan.

Bündchen seemingly retaliated after being taken aback by her ex-husband’s bold gesture. She addressed her fans in a cryptic post about personal growth, encouraging them not to be afraid of making changes in their lives if it’s for the better. “There’s no guide to life, no perfect roap to follow. But everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to,” she captioned a post featuring photos of her enjoying a peaceful moment while sitting on a dock.

Brady and Bündchen officially filed for divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, and it was finalized on the same day. The Brazilian beauty quickly moved on from their unsuccessful marriage by dating her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. They are already expecting their first baby together. On the other hand, Brady has been linked to another model, Irina Shayk, since calling it quits with his ex-wife.

Despite their divorce, we learned earlier this December that Brady still keeps a part of his marriage to Bündchen by taking care of Fluffy, the dog they adopted when they were still together. He was photographed carrying the pooch while visiting a local gym. Sources said that aside from his children, the renowned athlete is focused on his new career as an NFL analyst and his fitness goals post-divorce. With his new mansion, he is bound to realize all while living large from coast to coast.

Tom Brady is showing the world he’s moving on, but not without a reminder of the life he once shared with his supermodel ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen. The retired NFL legend was recently spotted leaving a Miami gym cradling Fluffy, the pet dog he and Bündchen adopted together during their happier times as a married couple.

Brady, 47, looked every bit the gym-honed star, flaunting his muscular legs in athletic shorts paired with a snug blue hoodie and crisp white sneakers during the sighting. Fluffy, the rescue pup he and the fashion icon adopted in 2016, seemed content in his arms. The dog reportedly acts as a tangible link to their shared past despite their publicized split and divorce.

The adoption of Fluffy was a heartwarming chapter in their marriage. The adorable pup, rescued from Wags And Walks in Los Angeles, was just a day old when she was abandoned with her umbilical cord still attached. The organization’s representatives once recalled how Bündchen publicly thanked them for bringing Fluffy into their lives.

Now, with Bündchen’s life taking a dramatic turn, Fluffy serves as a reminder of the exes’ meaningful time together. Sources close to Brady suggest that while he’s embracing single life, certain developments have stung — none more so than when Bündchen “blindsided” him over the announcement of her pregnancy with her new boyfriend.

As Brady appears to focus on his fitness and a new career as an NFL analyst, Bündchen, 44, is preparing to welcome her first child with Joaquim Valente, her 35-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor-turned-partner. Their romance, which began in the summer of 2023, came on the heels of her October 2022 divorce filing and eventual divorce finalization a year later.

“At first, everything stings — her getting pregnant, her hanging out with Joaquim, her moving on,” an insider shared. “But then he snaps out of it and remains busy, knows that his life is pretty good and to worry about things he can’t control is a waste of time.”

Hence, while Bündchen is eagerly anticipating her February due date, Brady has fully embraced his post-NFL player career and daddy duties to his three children: Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, whom he shares with Bündchen, and Jack, 17, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

The former New England Patriots star has been mostly throwing himself into his $375 million broadcasting contract with Fox, a ten-year deal that’s helped him stay grounded in the face of personal problems. However, the work commitment has also affected his intentions of getting back into the dating game after his divorce.

“Tom would love to date more, but he is busy and very focused on his first year of being a commentator. It is easier to be single right now,” said an insider to the Daily Mail.

Since the divorce, he has been linked to other models, Irina Shayk and Brooks Nader. But for whatever reason, he seems to be apprehensive about having another long-term commitment. In November, Brady hinted at having a hard time moving on when he subtly reminded Bündchen of the “commitment” they once shared.

In hindsight, holding onto Fluffy might be Brady’s way of keeping a piece of what he once had with his ex-wife while stepping forward into what’s next.

The not-so-subtle tension between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen seemingly reached new heights when the exes posted birthday tributes for their daughter Vivian, who turned 12 on Dec. 5. On the surface, the former couple’s posts may seem harmless. However, a closer look reveals hints of a power struggle over who holds the upper hand in their co-parenting setup.

To celebrate his daughter’s special day, the seven-time Super Bowl champ, 47, penned a heartfelt message and shared five photos of Vivian taken through the years on Instagram. One featured the pre-teen and her dad posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, while another showed Vivian as a baby.

“Happy 12th birthday to my forever baby girl. Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life. Your love, comion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life,” Brady wrote in the caption.

He closed his message by hoping for Vivian to have “a great day filled with all the laughter and love that” she deserves. Unfortunately, this was his quiet acknowledgment that he couldn’t celebrate his daughter’s birthday with her since she has yet to return from the tropical vacation Bündchen, 44, booked for herself and her kids.

Since late November, the supermodel and her children have been enjoying the sandy beaches of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. They even spent Thanksgiving there, leaving Brady with no one else to celebrate the holiday with. Aside from Vivian, Brady and Bündchen share a son, Benjamin, 14. The Brazilian beauty also acts as a stepmom to Brady’s 17-year-old son, Jack, whom he shares with his ex, Bridget Moynahan.

Bündchen also brought along her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, 37, who is the soon-to-be dad of the baby she’s carrying. The couple was recently photographed enjoying a holiday smoochfest while walking the sun-drenched shore. The couple’s PDA-filled strolls have drawn attention for their uncanny resemblance to scenes from her past vacations with Brady in the same destination. Fans online wondered if these moments were intentional nods to her former life or simply coincidental.

Regardless if she’s showing off her new romance deliberately or not, Bündchen is doing a great job proving to her ex-husband and the world that she’s got the upper hand post-split. Aside from quickly moving on with another man, she has more control and more time to spend with their children.

On Vivian’s birthday, Bündchen doubled down on her role as the ever-present parent by ing a series of photos to her Instagram Story showing their bonding moments from their ongoing vacation. One snap showed them sitting back-to-back on the beach with their hands interlocking. Another picture was of the pair holding hands while riding horses at sunset.

“Happy Birthday to my ray of sunshine. You are the best daughter a mom could ever ask for and I’m blessed to be your mama,” she captioned the photos and added “te amo muito,” which means, “I love you lots.”

Amid all the indirect back-and-forth between the exes, Brady — who despite retiring from playing football in February 2023 is now back in the NFL as a game analyst — has been taking the high road and not caving into Bündchen’s alleged taunting. For instance, instead of being mad about spending Thanksgiving solo, he opted to give a shout-out to his three kids by sharing a photo of them, purportedly taken from their getaway with the model.

The exes’ birthday tributes for their daughter reveal a bittersweet reality about their situation. Brady is still navigating life without the central role he once played both on the field and at home. On the contrary, Bündchen has broken free from her role as the ive wife and is now steering the family dynamic with confidence and ease. So for now, she’s the one calling the shots.

Nothing says sweet revenge quite like flaunting new love in your ex’s favorite paradise — and Gisele Bündchen knows exactly how to play this game. The supermodel, 44, made waves over Thanksgiving when she was spotted smooching her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, 36, during a romantic getaway to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica — the very destination her ex-husband, Tom Brady, 47, used to frequent in between seasons of the NFL.

Bündchen appeared completely unbothered by the media frenzy over her highly publicized romance following her divorce as she reveled in her tropical bliss with her growing baby bump in full display. In the photos released by Page Six, the Brazilian beauty cozied up on the sun-drenched shore with the jiu-jitsu instructor.

Clad in a sheer white lacey T-shirt dress over a black bikini, Bündchen showcased her pregnancy glow, while Valente kept things low-key in a green T-shirt and camo shorts. The two looked every bit the picture-perfect couple as they shared intimate moments, with their arms wrapped around each other while exchanging kisses with the crashing waves as their backdrop.

The duo wasn’t entirely alone, however. Other snaps released by the outlet revealed that Bündchen’s loyal German Shepherd, Alfie, ed them for their beachside escapade during the sunny day. The four-legged family member trailed the couple who walked hand in hand by the shore.

Bündchen’s Thanksgiving getaway wasn’t just about romance since she also brought along her kids. She shares Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with Brady. She also acts as a stepmom to Jack, the NFL star’s 17-year-old son with ex Bridget Moynahan. The supermodel’s “revenge” move made a bit of a buzz online since it left Brady with no one else to spend the holiday with.

However, insiders insisted that Brady did not mind Bündchen bringing their kids to her vacation with Valente since he had working commitments on Turkey Day. The retired quarterback called the New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys game in Arlington, Texas, so he was busy in the booth while his family was enjoying their tropical vacation.

Before the holiday, the exes had a bit of an exchange online after Brady seemingly reminded his wife of 13 years about their previous “commitment” to each other as he showed off their family home on Instagram. The former couple bought the $17 million mansion four years before he officially walked away from his NFL career. They spent a sizable amount on renovations as they were looking forward to spending the rest of their lives with their kids on the lavish Miami property.

Though Brady did not name Bündchen in his post, many assumed that it was directed at his ex-wife since the latter also posted a cryptic message online, where she encouraged her followers and fans to not be afraid to take risks and make significant changes in their lives if it’s for the better.

As the world watches this high-profile ex-couple rebuild their lives away from each other, one thing is clear: Bündchen’s ultimate retribution isn’t about malice; it’s about reclaiming her happiness, appears to be in Valente’s well-muscled arms.

Their divorce may be old news, but Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have perfected the art of post-split PR. After sitting out Thanksgiving without his kids while Gisele jetted off on her tropical revenge tour, Brady had a “keeping it cool” response.

The former NFL star reminded everyone on Instagram that despite spending Thanksgiving solo, he’s still a family man at heart. He shared a photo of his three children with the caption, “Thankful for this crew. Happy Thanksgiving.” A subtle flex? Maybe. A classy move? Absolutely.

This Instagram update lands just a week after Brady clapped back at Gisele’s Instagram sermon on personal growth and “choices” with his own post about “discipline” and commitment.” Fans ate it up and speculated that it was a direct reference to Gisele’s decision to move their kids halfway across the globe for Thanksgiving. We’ve already covered Gisele’s revenge story, but now Brady has made a move.

For anyone hoping for a cryptic shade or a not-so-subtle dig in response to Gisele’s Thanksgiving getaway, Brady’s IG story might feel like a curveball. Was Brady truly taking the high road, or did his story have just a touch of petty seasoning? If anything, it’s a power play disguised as gratitude—reminding everyone that no matter where his kids are, they’re still his “crew.” After all, nothing says “unbothered” like a heartfelt tribute to the kids you didn’t get to see because your ex had other plans.

Meanwhile, Gisele has been living her best life in Costa Rica, surrounded by sun, sand, and apparently no shortage of personal growth. Her decision to include Valente in the holiday festivities added a spicy twist to what might have otherwise been a routine co-parenting arrangement. Sources claim Brady was aware of the plans and agreed to them. But it’s hard to ignore how neatly this arrangement lines up with the narrative of her “winning” the post-divorce glow-up.

Gisele’s perfectly timed vacation seems like a masterclass in showing the world you’ve moved on. She could have chosen to keep Thanksgiving local, but why settle for a backyard bonfire when you can show off a beachside getaway with your new man? A true “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” moment.

And what did Brady do for Thanksgiving? He spent the day working, calling the Cowboys vs. Giants game for Fox Sports. Can we count this as a distraction? Or it’s simply an excuse to avoid an empty table. The timing of his Instagram story seems to speak volumes. Even when left out of the picture, literally and figuratively, Brady wants to show the world his connection with his kids remains intact.

Cryptic Instagram captions, jet-setting vacations, and kids caught in the middle. This Thanksgiving might as well have been another Super Bowl, just with more personal stakes. The Brady-Bündchen post-divorce drama is far from over. Gisele is expecting her first child with Valente, and fans can’t wait for the next chapter in their very public breakup story. For now, Brady’s story might just be the ultimate mic drop.

Tom Brady’s 23-season career in the NFL solidified his status as one of the greatest of all time, especially after winning seven Super Bowl championships to his name. But since officially retiring from playing the sport in 2022, the former quarterback has embarked on a new journey as a game analyst for Fox Sports. However, his transition from the field to the broadcasting booth has been far from seamless.

When Brady made his debut as Fox Sports’ new game analyst in September, his inexperience in his new role was quite evident. Despite his prowess, skills, and know-how as a player, his confidence and sharpness on the field did not translate to his first broadcast. His delivery and analysis lacked the depth expected of a top-tier sports analyst, leaving viewers and critics underwhelmed.

Several critics acknowledged Brady’s struggles but offered him mercy as a first-timer. Sports Illustrated’s Jimmy Traina remarked that while Brady’s debut was “underwhelming,” he still had “plenty of room for improvement.” Traina critiqued the former NFL superstar’s lack of detailed breakdowns of plays, strategies, and player decisions but also noted the irony of Brady — known for thriving under pressure in high-stakes games — appearing nervous in the broadcast booth.

“It’s fascinating that Tom Brady, a guy who has won Super Bowls in the final seconds of games, could be nervous just broadcasting a game,” Traina wrote.

USA Today’s Chris Bumbaca echoed the sentiment, suggesting that Brady’s early efforts were not entirely dismal. Bumbaca compared Brady favorably to other former players who transitioned to the booth, noting that his debut sured the performances of Drew Brees and Jason Witten, both of whom faced significant criticism in their careers as analysts.

However, Fox Sports executives reportedly have higher expectations for Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband, given the stakes involved. The network signed him to a 10-year, $375 million deal, banking on his football expertise to enhance its coverage. According to sports journalist John Ourand’s recent Puck newsletter, the network’s producers have urged Brady to focus less on intangibles like leadership qualities and player ability and more on analyzing the game’s mechanics.

“Fox producers have been pushing Brady to incorporate more of what he’s seeing on the field — duh — into his commentary,” Ourand wrote, stressing the importance of Brady dissecting plays, explaining why certain strategies succeed or fail, and providing real-time insight into the game. Interestingly, Ourand noted that Brady “has gotten better during the past couple of games.” His evolving analysis has started to feature more of the in-depth observations Fox bosses want, instilling confidence among network insiders that he will “continue to improve” from here on out.

This Thanksgiving Thursday, Brady is set to showcase his progress by providing live commentary for the match between the New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. Fans and critics alike will be watching to see if Brady has indeed improved his football analysis skills and risen to the network’s demand.

While his early broadcasts may have been shaky, Brady’s career trajectory as a game analyst suggests that improvement is inevitable for someone as hardworking as he is. After all, if there’s one thing the seven-time Super Bowl champ has proven, it’s his ability to adapt, persevere, and ultimately succeed under pressure — whether on the gridiron or behind the microphone.

Gisele Bündchen has her kids all to herself this Thanksgiving after the NFL star and father to her children, Tom Brady made a subtle dig about the importance of staying committed on social media. 

A source revealed on Tuesday that the supermodel, 44, left the country with their children to spend Thanksgiving in the Caribbean. Bündchen’s boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, also ed the family for the celebration/getaway. 

“[The co-parents] won’t be celebrating Thanksgiving together. Gisele took the kids and headed to Costa Rica with Joaquim to spend the holiday with each other,” an insider told Page Six. 

Bündchen’s decision to bring the kids — Jack, 17, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 — with her comes after the exes seemingly had a low-key exchange on social media about their failed marriage. 

Last week, the fashion model shared a meaningful message about personal growth with her followers on Instagram, saying they should not be afraid to make changes in their lives if it’s for the better. 

“There’s no guide to life, no perfect roap to follow. But everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to,” she wrote in the caption of a photo showing her enjoying a peaceful moment while sitting on a dock. 

Interestingly, Brady, 47, decided to show off their lavish family home on Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek Island days later. In an Instagram Story, he ed a photo showing the breathtaking sunset by their lavish pool, and he accompanied it with a cryptic message: “Discipline reveals the commitment you have to your dreams.”

Some fans quickly assumed that it was Brady’s response to Bündchen and that it could be his way of reminding her of their previous commitment and shared vision to live in the family home they bought for $17 million four years before his retirement. 

Ever since the athlete and the model divorced in October 2022, Bündchen has been residing in an Art Deco-inspired cottage while awaiting the completion of her $11.5 million Miami Beach mansion’s renovations. On the other hand, Brady has opted to stay in their family home. 

It’s unclear if Bündchen took the kids abroad with her this Thanksgiving as a way to get back at her ex. Both parties did not respond when asked by Page Six for comment. 

However, the outlet’s source insisted there’s no issue with the supermodel having their children with her on the holiday because the two allegedly agreed to have this arrangement. Their kids will reportedly spend time with Bündchen and her beau this week, but they will be with the quarterback for the remainder of the holiday season. 

“Tom is ive, and that’s the arrangement he and Gisele have agreed upon. [Besides, he will] have plenty of time to spend with his children during the holiday season,” the insider explained. 

It’s also worth noting that Brady will be busy on Thanksgiving due to his broadcasting duties with Fox Sports. The retired NFL star was tasked to give play-by-play comments on the Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants game on Thursday.

“He’s going to be calling the game for Fox that day and will be tied up with work,” noted the source. 

Brady and Bündchen share custody of their two biological children, Benjamin and Vivian, and the model co-parents her ex-husband’s eldest son, Jack, whom Brady had with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Bündchen is currently pregnant with her first child with Valente, whom she started dating in June 2023, months after her divorce with Brady was finalized. 

Gisele Bündchen has taken to Instagram to share a life update which had fans concerned for her wellbeing given she’s pregnant with her third child. The 44-year-old Brazilian model posted a couple of photos one of herself basking in the sun holding a mug and another she has an opened book in hand.

While the message that accompanied the pictures are inspiring, the words written on the pages of the book had fans expressing their concern. The book speaks about the grief that comes with losing a parent with the phrases “a parent’s ing is a profound loss” and “help me in my own process of grief” among that stood out on one page. Over at Instagram, fans asked Bündchen if she’s doing alright with one writing: “Gisele, are you OK? The book is very sad,” and another shared: “I am worried.”

The book speaks about the model’s own experience as she recently lost her mother in January this year. The soon-to-be-mom-of-three could still be grieving. In May, she shared a few throwback photos of her mother as she itted that she’s still finding it hard to accept that she’s gone. She wrote: “It’s still hard to say ‘mom’ without getting emotional. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my Mom.”

Fans are right to worry about Bündchen though as she’s currently pregnant with her third child and her first with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Emotional stress is not good for both the baby and the mother’s health no matter what stage of pregnancy. The former Victoria’s Secret model is said to be several months along in her pregnancy with the baby bump very visible already.

Prior to news of her pregnancy, she’s been keeping a low profile both on social media and in public. She had hid her growing belly under bulky clothing or large bags when out and about but with the world already on the know, she’s been comfortable flaunting her baby bump. She recently attended the 20th anniversary of the Lotus House Gala wearing a black dress that accentuated her figure.

With the birth of her third child people are wondering if she’s already considered her birth plan. It’s reportedly unlikely that she’ll stick to tradition and have another water birth as she did with her two children with her ex-husband Tom Brady (they co-parent son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11).

At the time, she was advised against it by her doctor as it was “too dangerous” and was told to do a C-section instead. But she disobeyed her doctor as she’s “always dreamed of giving birth naturally, at home.” She also opened up about how she got the courage to do a water birth from a midwife named Myra in her 2018 book Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. Myra had told her that the “most soothing way for a newborn to enter the world was into water.”

She also recalled giving birth to her two children at home were the “two most extraordinary experiences” of her life writing that she “felt like Kali, the Hindu goddess of time, creation, destruction, and power, a feeling of invincibility.” Meanwhile, Both Bündchen and Valente have kept details about their child private, including the baby’s gender. One fan commented on her recent photo that their child will “bring even more light and joy” into her life.

Tom Brady is reveling in the luxury of his $17 million estate on Miami’s exclusive Indian Creek Island, better known as “Billionaire Bunker.” The retired NFL player recently shared a glimpse of his home, posting an Instagram Story featuring a breathtaking sunset behind his lavish pool. However, it wasn’t just the imagery that captured the attention of fans — it was the caption.

“Discipline reveals the commitment you have to your dreams,” the 47-year-old wrote, ending the message with prayer-hand emojis. Many fans quickly speculated whether the sentiment was directed at his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, given the personal journey Brady has undergone since their high-profile divorce in 2022.

Some fans believe Brady’s latest post could be his way of subtly reminding Bündchen of their previous commitment to each other and their once-shared vision for their presumed family home. The celebrity exes purchased the $17 million property together four years ago ahead of the quarterback’s retirement, so it must have been the home they wanted to spend the rest of their lives in with their children.

But their split last October 2022 left Brady in charge of overseeing the extensive renovations on the property while the Brazilian beauty moved on to a new chapter of her life — both personally and in real estate. Now, while Brady continues to enjoy the comforts of their dream home, Bündchen resides in a modest Art Deco-inspired cottage as construction is ongoing on her own $11.5 million Miami Beach mansion, located just across the waterway from Brady’s estate.

Earlier this year, Brady also shared another glimpse of the newly renovated pad, posting a serene photo of his backyard with the caption, “Home is where the heart is.” It’s not clear if it was also slightly directed at his ex, who had just confirmed her romance with her jiu-jitsu instructor-turned-partner, Joaquim Valente, at the time.

Meanwhile, Bündchen has also been sharing her own messages about commitment — though with a distinct focus on personal growth. Earlier this week, she penned a meaningful message for her followers on Instagram about not being afraid to alter their lives for the better.

“There’s no guide to life, no perfect roap to follow. But everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to,” she wrote. Accompanying the caption was a serene photo of Bündchen on a dock, eyes closed, basking in the moment.

Bündchen’s words came after the revelation that she was expecting her first child with Valente. The announcement, made last month, marked a significant milestone in her post-divorce journey as a mom. She already has two kids with Brady, son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, and she also adopted her ex’s 17-year-old son Jack with his first girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.

As both Brady and Bündchen continue to pursue different paths after their split, their parallel messages of commitment and reinvention suggest that, while their journeys have diverged, the echoes of their shared past remain.

Tom Brady is an idiot, or are we too late for the Roast? But yes, to a certain extent, he is more naive than anyone realized. His ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, could attest to that.

And we’re saying this because he recently came out to apologize for his shortcomings as a father, but not as a husband who drove his wife to walk away from 13 years of marriage and be with someone close to the family in a heartbeat despite the public scrutiny. At the Fortune Global Forum in NYC on Nov. 12, the retired NFL superstar wanted to make it seem like he’s already figured out his flaws as a 47-year-old man who juggled his fatherhood responsibilities with a well-decorated career as an athlete. After recognizing that he’s no “expert in parenting,” Brady itted that he had made mistakes as a parent.

“Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have, and we screwed up a lot, and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent,” he said while addressing the crowd. He also boldly claimed in the same breath that he always tries to be “dependable and consistent” for his children to make up for his lapses.

Now the problem with Tom’s confession of fault is how he once again failed to acknowledge his shortcomings to the woman who made it possible for him to look good as a family man and an active quarterback with the NFL for more than 20 seasons. Since causing one major heartbreak to Gisele by blindsiding her with a shocking unretirement announcement weeks after supposedly ending his career to focus on their family, the man has never apologized.

In the aftermath of his surprising decision, the world saw Bündchen break down in tears while discussing with ABC broadcaster Robin Roberts the end of their marriage. When asked how she was doing after splitting from her husband of more than a decade, Gisele struggled to maintain her composure and even apologized to the film crew for her tears.

“It’s definitely a transition that had to take place, and it’s not something that you [wish for]. But I think sometimes in life, things happen, and I feel so blessed because I had incredible experiences, I learned so much, [and] I have my children [who] are the biggest blessings in my life. Now I get to create a new chapter in my life,” she finally said after collecting herself.

Tom and Gisele filed for divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, and the court moved to dissolve their marriage on the same day. Since then, the 44-year-old Brazilian beauty appears to be in a better place, especially now that she’s “living her best life” with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. The couple is already expecting their first child together or, technically, Gisele’s third when her kids with Brady are counted — Benjamin 14, and Vivian, 11. She has also adopted her ex-husband’s 17-year-old son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan. With everything that’s happening in Bündchen’s life since calling it quits with Brady, it’s safe to say that the only thing missing for her is Tom’s sincere apology for the things he put her through.
