According to Marca, the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and Jaoquin Valente have been together for quite some time, much before their divorce was finalized. Daily Mail then comes with a report that a source of theirs has revealed that Brady seems to have accepted their relationship, regardless of the rumors.
Despite not being friends with Valente, Brady is willing to maintain a civil relationship with him for the sake of their children. He is ready to adjust if Valente takes on a fatherly role for his children. The source said,
“Tom and Joaquim are not friends — but Joaquim is around his kids, so Tom has to find the good in him and does believe he is a good guy,” followed by, “If Joaquim ever becomes a father figure to his kids, Tom will be able to adapt.”
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022, while Brady was still playing his last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tensions arose between them when Brady decided to come back to the NFL after a short break from the game. Reports suggested that Gisele wasn’t happy about Brady’s decision and often complained about him not being there for his family.
The media started paying attention to their issues when Brady was absent from team practice for 11 days in August 2022. The head coach, Todd Bowles, mentioned that Brady had some personal matters to attend to. While the exact reason for their divorce remains unknown, they are now focusing on co-parenting their children and moving forward with their lives.
Gisele Bundchen’s Dating Timeline Under Scrutiny
An insider shared with People Magazine that Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente only started dating in June 2023, eight months after her divorce from the seven-time Super Bowl champ. However, there is doubt from Tom Brady about Gisele’s timeline. A source told the Daily Mail,
“If she (Gisele) wants to have people think she has been dating Joaquim only since June, so be it, but they have been together longer and they aren’t taking it slow. Tom (Brady) has accepted it,”
