Tom Brady has long been known for his emotional tributes to those he loves, and this past Mother’s Day was no different. The seven-time Super Bowl champion took to social media to honor his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, lauding her parenting and expressing gratitude for the mother she has been to their children.
But just a few weeks later, as Father’s Day arrived, many were surprised when Bundchen made no public mention of Brady.
While it’s not uncommon for celebrities to keep certain sentiments private, fans of the former couple were quick to notice the discrepancy. Brady’s Mother’s Day post had included kind words like “strong,” “compassionate,” and “amazing,” offering a warm spotlight on Bundchen’s role in raising their children, Benjamin and Vivian. For many observers, that heartfelt display set an expectation for mutual appreciation.
Instead, Bundchen‘s social media pages remained quiet on Father’s Day, leaving some followers confused and others downright angry.
Public praise met with silence fuels speculation
The silence didn’t go unnoticed in the tabloid world either. Outlets like The Sun and Newsweek captured the public sentiment that Bundchen‘s decision not to post anything about Brady may have signaled unresolved tension or a personal choice to keep things private. Still, with such a heartfelt tribute from Brady just weeks prior, the lack of acknowledgment left many fans disappointed.
Social media users quickly flooded comment sections, suggesting that the discrepancy in how each parent honored the other publicly reflects deeper divisions than previously thought. Others speculated that Bundchen may be trying to draw firmer boundaries as she continues her life apart from the NFL legend.
Adding further intrigue to the situation is the fact that Brady has also taken steps to maintain public positivity. On Father’s Day, he celebrated his own dad, Tom Brady Sr., with a warm tribute emphasizing gratitude, legacy, and love, suggesting that fatherhood remains at the forefront of his values.
“It’s important to appreciate the people who shape us,” Brady wrote. “No one’s done more for me than my dad.”
In contrast, Bundchen‘s last major family-related post celebrated their daughter Vivian’s birthday and featured their new family dynamics as she continues her relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente, with whom she now shares a young child.
While neither Tom Brady nor Bundchen have commented publicly on the latest wave of speculation, the silence has ignited an ongoing conversation about co-parenting in the public eye.
