NFL icon Tom Brady shared an introspective message on Instagram shortly after learning of ex-wife Gisele Bündchen’s pregnancy with her current boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Brady posted a quote from Theodore Roosevelt about resilience, reflecting on struggles and growth.
The passage commended those who face challenges head-on and persevere, acknowledging that effort sometimes leads to setbacks but is worthy in itself.
Brady’s post came as Bündchen, 44, was seen with Valente following her pregnancy announcement. Sources say the seven-time Super Bowl champion, 47, was reportedly shocked by the news.
“Tom knew things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim but didn’t expect a baby,” a source close to the family told us. The couple’s pregnancy marks Bündchen’s third child and her first with Valente, whom she met through jiu-jitsu training in 2021.
Brady and Bündchen share two children, 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. The pair divorced in October 2022 after a 13-year marriage, and Brady was reportedly “astonished” to learn of Bündchen’s new chapter with Valente.

The Brazilian model reportedly announced the pregnancy last week, with insiders confirming she is approximately five to six months along.
Bündchen’s children with Brady have also been involved in this transition. Joaquim Valente, a martial arts instructor, has reportedly lived with Bündchen and her children in her Miami mansion for some time.
According to Us Weekly, both Benjamin and Vivian “really like” Valente and have adjusted well to the relationship. Bündchen’s journey with Valente has been highly visible, with the two frequently spotted in Miami.
Valente first entered Bündchen’s life when she joined his martial arts academy in 2021. Their bond soon evolved into a close partnership, and over time, Bündchen opened up about her new relationship, finding happiness in her journey with Valente.
