Gisele Bundchen has officially welcomed her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, marking a fresh start for the supermodel. While this is a joyous occasion for Bundchen, her ex-husband Tom Brady is reportedly grappling with the reality of her new life.
According to RadarOnline, Bundchen gave birth recently, though the exact date has not been confirmed. The newborn is her third child, as she shares 15-year-old son Benjamin and 12-year-old daughter Vivian with Brady, whom she was married to for 13 years before their 2022 divorce.
While Bundchen embraces motherhood once again with Valente, Brady has reportedly found it difficult to come to terms with the news-especially after learning she was expecting a baby with another man.
Bundchen has yet to publicly announce the birth on social media, but reports suggest that the news has deeply affected Brady, who never anticipated this development in his ex-wife’s life.
Brady Struggles with Bundchen’s New Family
Earlier this year, Brady appeared to distance himself from Bundchen when he posted a heartfelt Instagram message reflecting on the importance of family. His post, however, focused only on his children, with no mention of his ex-wife.
“I could not have imagined a better way to ring in the new year than with the loves of my life,” Brady wrote.
“Reflecting on last year and thinking about the year ahead, there is no better perspective than looking at these three and always trying to be better for them each day, and helping to guide them in whatever way possible.”
Although the post expressed gratitude for his children and personal growth, Brady acknowledged that 2024 had already brought challenges.
“No year ever goes exactly the way we want…” he admitted.
According to insiders, Brady was taken by surprise when Bundchen revealed she was expecting a child with Valente.
“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim, but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” a source shared.
“It just was not something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least.”
Sources also claim that Brady has struggled to move on from his marriage.
“He dated Irina (Shayk), but that ended badly, probably because he was only half in,” an insider revealed. “Plenty of women have thrown themselves at him, but he just has very little interest.”
Following Bundchen‘s pregnancy announcement, Brady posted a cryptic message about “falling short again and again” on social media, sparking speculation about his emotional state.
“To a lot of people, that sounds like a cry for help. Tom seems to be falling apart!” a source claimed.
Brady Reportedly Intimidated by Valente
Aside from emotional challenges, some insiders suggest that Brady feels uneasy about Valente‘s physical presence.
“Tom would never admit it openly, but he is a little intimidated by Joaquim,” a source claimed. “Joaquim might look average, but he is lean, strong, and tough as nails.”
At 6 feet 4 inches and 225 pounds, Valente is a highly trained martial artist, which reportedly adds to Brady‘s discomfort.
“He is an incredibly skilled martial arts champ, and that just adds to Tom’s anxiety. Joaquim is no pushover, and he is not scared by Tom either,” the insider added.
With Bundchen now raising a child with Valente, co-parenting dynamics will require careful navigation.
“They are all going to have to co-parent, and Tom is going to have to be on his best behavior and not say rude things that could result in a flare-up,” the source warned.
As Bundchen embraces her new life, Brady must come to terms with the evolving family dynamic.
Whether he publicly acknowledges Bundchen‘s new baby remains to be seen, but one thing is certain-his world is changing, and he must learn to adjust.
