Former NFL superstar Tom Brady is choosing a path of peace and maturity following the news that his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, has quietly remarried. Sources close to the athlete confirm his focus is squarely on maintaining a drama-free environment, especially for their children, as the holiday season approaches.
Brady's Peaceful Stance on the Wedding News
According to insiders who spoke to the Daily Mail, Tom Brady, 48, was informed about Bündchen's marriage earlier this month. The news was shared through appropriate channels, as the former couple continues to communicate regarding co-parenting their children. "It wasn't a secret to him," a source revealed. "They don't talk much, but big moments like a wedding are shared."
The source emphasised Brady's understanding that any negative reaction would ultimately harm their kids. His sentiment is reportedly one of simple contentment for her happiness. "He's happy in a simple way. He's happy that she is happy," the insider said. "Anything else would be unfair to the kids." Friends say Brady believes both parents moving on amicably sets the right example for their family.
Details of Gisele Bündchen's Private Ceremony
Gisele Bündchen married her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, 38, in a private ceremony on December 3. This union comes three years after her high-profile divorce from Tom Brady in October 2022, which ended their 13-year marriage. The couple had been linked since shortly after her split from Brady and welcomed a baby boy together earlier this year.
Brady and Bündchen share two children: Benjamin Brady, 16, and Vivian Brady, 13. Brady also has an older son, Jack Brady, 18, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Ensuring their well-being is said to be Brady's top priority.
Life After Football and Future Focus
Since his final retirement from the NFL in 2023 after a season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady has transitioned into a role as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports. The divorce from Bündchen followed months after his decision to return to the league in 2022, despite earlier retirement plans—a move Bündchen had expressed concerns about in a September 2022 interview, citing worries over his health and family time.
As for his personal life, sources indicate Brady is content with his current status. "He's enjoying life and focusing on work and parenting," an insider shared. "Right now, that's enough." He is reportedly not actively thinking about remarriage and is instead dedicated to his career and being a present father.
With Christmas and New Year's around the corner, Brady's wish is straightforward: a holiday season filled with joy for his children, free from any tension or awkwardness, as both he and his ex-wife embrace their new chapters.
