Tom Brady Reacts to Gisele Bundchen’s Wedding to Joaquim Valente
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady haven’t been a couple for a while. In fact, the Brazilian supermodel moved on a while ago with the father of her youngest child, Joaquim Valente. And now that the two have just tied the knot, people are wondering how her ex, Brady, feels about this new chapter.
Apparently, there’s no drama. “He’s happy in the way that is simple: he’s happy that she is happy,” a source told the Daily Mail about Brady’s reaction. “Down the line, he might get married again and he would want her to be OK with that, so he has to be OK about it,” the insider explained.

“If he was upset, that would mean he still has feelings for her and that it would be unfair to the kids if he didn’t want to see their mom happy and move on.”
Brady and Bündchen divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The former couple shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian, and co-parent Brady’s son, Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynihan. Though it has never been confirmed, reports indicated the decision to divorce was tied to Brady’s choice to go back to playing football after he announced his retirement.
The supermodel started dating jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, reportedly around June 2023. In October 2024, People reported that the two were expecting their first child together.
As for Brady, the source also told the outlet that he’s got some experience with moving on. “He’s had to move on from two different important relationships, and two mothers to his children,” the source said. “He’s learned a lot along the way, and he’s taking this next stage in stride. He’s being very mature about it and not letting it pick at him negatively in any way.”
Not that his approval was necessary for Bundchen, but it’s still good to know there aren’t any problems.
“It’s life, and everyone is happy. It’s the holiday season, he’s not inviting any drama where there doesn’t have to be.”
The former couple is reportedly cordial for the sake of their children, but obviously not too close anymore. “They are living their own separate lives and anything that actually matters is the safety and happiness of their children,” the insider said. “That is everything for Tom.”
But reports indicate that Bündchen gave Brady a warning about the wedding, just as she previously gave him one about her pregnancy. “It wasn’t a secret to [Brady],” the source told the Daily Mail. “They still have to talk because of the kids, and though that is often very brief, important milestones, schedules and of course her getting married was something she wasn’t going to keep secret.”
Brady was a little bit cryptic on his Instagram stories after news of his ex’s marriage was announced. The former QB shared a zoomed-in picture of himself wearing a white hoodie that read “Forever Young” on it. The caption was “Yuppppppp.” The story was accompanied by Logic’s 2017 hit song “1-800-273-8255” to the post, a powerful mental health anthem.
In the post, Logic sings, “I’ve been on the low, I been taking my time / I feel like I’m out of my mind / It feel like my life ain’t mine (Who can relate? Woo).”
Make of that what you will.
