Tom Brady sparked widespread speculation with cryptic social media activity hours after reports confirmed his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, married her long-term partner Joaquim Valente. The former NFL star’s posts, which included a pointed message and a thirst trap photo, came as news broke of Bündchen’s intimate wedding ceremony last month.
On Saturday, Brady took to Instagram Stories to share a selfie wearing a white hoodie emblazoned with the phrase ‘Forever young,’ accompanied by the caption ‘Yuppppppp 100.’ In another slide, he posted a thirst trap image, flexing his muscles in a black fitted T-shirt and shorts while holding a football, and tagged his athletic brand No Bull. These posts were made just hours after sources revealed to Page Six that Bündchen and Valente had tied the knot in a private setting.
The marriage between Bündchen, 45, and Valente, 38, a jiu-jitsu trainer, reportedly took place last month in an intimate home ceremony surrounded by a small group of friends and family. A source close to Valente expressed that he was thrilled to finally marry after the couple welcomed their first child together earlier this year. Page Six confirmed in February that the supermodel and Valente had become parents, though details such as the baby’s name and gender remain undisclosed.
Bündchen and Valente’s relationship has been developing since 2023, with the couple going public in 2024. Insiders have described their connection as strong, with one source telling Us Weekly in October 2024 that ‘their chemistry together has always been there and they have a lot in common.’ This marriage marks a new chapter for Bündchen following her high-profile divorce from Brady.
Brady and Bündchen ended their 13-year marriage in October 2022, finalizing a divorce that captured media attention. Together, they share two children: Vivian Lake, 13, and Benjamin Rein, 16. Brady also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. The split was amicable, but both have since moved on with their personal lives.
Since the divorce, Brady has been linked to several high-profile figures, including Kim Kardashian and model Irina Shayk in 2023, though those romances were brief and ultimately fizzled out. His recent social media posts, however, have drawn attention due to their timing following Bündchen’s marriage news, leading fans to wonder about his current state of mind and whether the messages carry deeper meaning.
As of now, neither Brady nor Bündchen has publicly commented on the marriage or the social media posts. Bündchen appears to be embracing her new life with Valente and their child, while Brady continues to focus on his post-football career, including his brand endorsements and public appearances. The episode underscores the ongoing public fascination with the personal lives of celebrities, even as they navigate new beginnings away from the spotlight.
