Gisele was said to be “mourning the death of her dream” when the pair split.
But who is Tom Brady, and why did they divorce?
Who is Tom Brady?
Tom Brady is a retired NFL quarterback who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New England Patriots.
During his football career, he played in seven Super Bowls and was awarded multiple honors for his performance.
Tom and Gisele share two children 14-year-old Benjamin, and 11-year-old Vivian.
Tom, who signed a massive 10-year $375 million broadcasting deal with Fox, has been linked with several supermodels since his divorce from Gisele.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was reportedly dating Russian model Irina Shayk, 38, for some time after being spotted together on several occasions throughout 2023.
However, neither Tom nor Irina confirmed they were ever in a relationship.
During a Fourth of July celebration in the Hamptons this summer, Brady reportedly hit it off with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader after they were seen together at the exclusive bash.
“They’ve been hooking up this summer, having rendezvous in different cities. It’s casual,” a source told People in July.
“She has a very active social calendar and likes to party and Tom is often with the kids and doesn’t like the nightlife scene.”
When did Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen split?
Gisele’s pregnancy news came exactly two years after she and Tom reached a settlement to end their marriage in 2022.
The pair met when she was 26 and he was 28 but the model explained that as they got older their priorities changed.
The pair filed paperwork to finalize their divorce on October 28, 2022, before publicly announcing the relationship’s end in March 2023.
After her split from the legendary quarterback, 47, Bündchen relocated to Miami, where her relationship with Valente reportedly ramped up.
There was speculation that Gisele had been unfaithful to Tom with her new partner Joaquim, but she has fiercely denied the rumours.
Speaking to Vanity Fair at the time, she said that the split was the “death of her dream”.
“It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?” she said.
“I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it’s beautiful to believe in that. I mean, I’m so grateful I did.”
At the time she said that the reason for their split was because the pair had “grown apart”.
Gisele is expecting her third child with jiu-jutsu instructor Joaquim.
The pair met after she hired him to teach her son the martial art.
