Not the time for inspirational quotes, Tom.
Just this week, it was revealed that Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady’s ex-wife and mother of two of his children – had given birth to a baby boy with her boyfriend and former jiu jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente.
TMZ was the first to report this news, and it was later confirmed that the baby’s middle name is River, which just happens to go along with the nature theme of Gisele and Tom’s children, Vivian Lake and Benjamin Rein.
Gisele Bündchen is obviously a Brazilian supermodel and actress known for being a Victoria’s Secret angel and of course, being married to Tom Brady, NFL Hall of Famer. The two were married for a long 13 years before announcing their divorce back in 2022. Despite what seemed to be a successful and happy marriage, their relationship apparently was tested when Brady decided to return to the NFL after retiring and the ultimate decision was to split. They are now focusing on their own paths and careers while still co-parenting Benjamin and Vivian.
Surprisingly, Giselle still hasn’t confirmed the news herself, but the baby reports officially end the months of speculation on whether she was pregnant or not. Rumors began circulating last October, and now… a baby pretty much confirms them. But kudos to her, hiding the bump until you are 5 months in is a very impressive feat to me.
But Tom on the other hand, who hasn’t directly said anything either, did post this cryptic Instagram story right around the time everyone was talking about the new child. It was a sentimental quote about “the secret to being loved and finding the beauty in others…
Funny because this is the second well-timed-with-Giselle’s-pregnancy-rumors quote that he posted. Lol. Last time, being Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” lyrics. Impressive music taste Tom!
Remember when Netflix aired The Roast of Tom Brady and the host Nikki Glaser took shots at Gisele’s new relationship? The funniest joke to me that night was that she left Brady to run off and date her former jiu-jitsu instructor. But what I thought was just a joke, has now become her actual baby daddy. A hilarious turn of events. Guess the jokes weren’t all satire.
To be fair, Gisele and Joaquim (said jiu-jitsu man) have only publicly been together since June of last year, which was after their divorce was finalized. Still a quick turnaround, but it is such an interesting trope that it’s understandable that people were side-eyeing those two for a while.
Naturally, the internet exploded once the baby news dropped:
Poor kid has to grow up being the only non Tom Brady kid. This is going to be brutal!

Congratulations to Gisele on her third child, but it's surprising how private she's kept this journey, especially with her high-profile past.

When it comes to Gisele, she is clearly in a completely new era, building a life of her own without the Brady name tied to it. The only person who might have an issue with that is the baby himself.
So who should we be more sorry for, this baby, who might get teased for life for barely missing out on GOAT genes, or Tom Brady for posting that emotional quote to his story? It’s up to you to decide. For now, I suggest Tom just sticks to posting Super Bowl content instead as he gears up to call the game tonight on FOX.
