Tom Brady posts controversial message in response to ex-wife Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy with new man

The post, which appeared just hours after Bundchen's pregnancy was revealed, featured the poignant lines: "Oh mirror in the sky/ what is love? Can the child within my heart/ rise above?"

Brady's cryptic message comes as Bundchen, 44, is reportedly expecting her first child with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, 35.

Bundchen's pregnancy comes nearly two years after her divorce from Brady. The couple, who share two children - Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 - ended their 13-year marriage in October 2022.

According to reports, Bundchen is "five or six months" along in her pregnancy with Valente.

The pair began dating in June 2023, though they first met in December 2021 when Bundchen sought jiu-jitsu training for her son.

The supermodel has vehemently denied claims that her split from Brady stemmed from his decision to unretire from the NFL.

Instead, she maintains they simply "grew apart" and wanted "different things".

Brady, 47, has yet to formally comment on his ex-wife's pregnancy news.

Brady and Bundchen's children remain a priority for both parents. The former couple share custody of Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, while Brady also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship.

In a recent interview with E! News, Brady expressed his love for his children, stating: "I love those little kiddos more than anything.

"I love spending time with them. They're the best part of every day of mine."

Bundchen has also spoken about the impact of their divorce on the children. In an interview with Good Morning America, she referred to the end of their relationship as "the death of a dream".

The couple's commitment to co-parenting remains strong, with both emphasising their children's well-being as their top priority.

Earlier this year, Brady and Bundchen's divorce was the subject of controversial jokes during a Netflix roast of the NFL icon.
