Tom Brady was recently spotted at a Miami gym, looking noticeably somber. His demeanor stood in stark contrast to that of his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, who is reportedly embracing a new chapter in her life with her boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, and their newborn child.
RadarOnline.com sources close to Brady suggest that while he is focused on his fitness and professional endeavors, he is still grappling with the emotional weight of seeing Bundchen move forward so quickly.
A painful reminder pushes Brady to sell his Miami mansion
Brady has reportedly decided to sell his $150 million mansion in Miami, a home that now serves as a painful reminder of his past with Bündchen. The former couple, who were married for 13 years, lived in the same exclusive neighborhood before their 2022 divorce.
With Bundchen and Valente now residing just across the water in their newly remodeled home, insiders say Brady finds it difficult to escape reminders of his old life.
“Every time he looks out across the water, he sees Gisele’s refurbished home and perfect life with her martial arts hunk and their new baby, and it gets him down,” a source revealed. “He can’t take it anymore. He wants to sell the house. It reminds him of Gisele. She was the one who dominated the remodeling, and it’s her style, her personal touches. He still feels her nuance everywhere.”
While Brady plans to remain in Miami, he is reportedly searching for a new home that will allow him to move forward without constantly being reminded of his past relationship.
Struggles to move on while Bundchen thrives
As Bundchen builds a new life with Valente and their child, Brady is reportedly finding it difficult to fully embrace his post-divorce reality. Sources suggest that, despite his fame and success, he has struggled to establish a meaningful new relationship.
“He dated Irina [Shayk], but that ended badly, probably because he was only half in,” an insider shared. “Plenty of women have thrown themselves at him, but he just has very little interest.”
Adding to his emotional turmoil, Brady reportedly never anticipated that Bündchen would have another child so soon after their split. When she informed him of her pregnancy, insiders claim he was taken aback.
“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim, but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” a source noted. “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.”
Beyond the emotional weight of seeing Bündchen move on, Brady is reportedly feeling intimidated by Valente, a highly skilled martial artist. Valente, who stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 225 pounds, has a commanding presence that some say makes Brady uneasy.
“Tom would never admit it openly, but he’s a little intimidated by Joaquim,” an insider explained. “Joaquim might look average, but he’s lean, strong, and tough as nails. He’s an incredibly skilled martial arts champ, and that just adds to Tom’s anxiety. Joaquim’s no pushover, and he’s not scared by Tom either.”
