Brady reportedly wasn't blindsided
Many likely were surprised Monday when news about Gisele Bündchen’s pregnancy made its way around the internet.
Tom Brady, however, reportedly was not caught off guard by his ex-wife’s life update.
According to TMZ, Bündchen informed Brady about carrying her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente before it was first reported by PEOPLE. Brady and Bündchen were married for over 13 years and share two children together: a 14-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter.
Bündchen reportedly started dating Valente roughly eight months after finalizing her divorce from Brady in October 2022. The former NFL quarterback reportedly has come to grips with the Brazilian supermodel’s new relationship and Bündchen vehemently denied rumors of cheating on Brady with Valente while she still was married to the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Neither Bündchen nor Brady had spoken publicly about the former’s pregnancy as of early Tuesday morning. But the future Pro Football Hall of Famer, who now serves as FOX’s lead NFL color commentator, did post a cryptic Instagram story the morning after the news broke.
