Gisele Bündchen is taking a look back at her marriage with Tom Brady, reflecting on their divorce that hit four years ago in 2022. The former Victoria’s Secret model and NFL icon were married for 13 years, and she’s opening up about how the split really impacted her journey. Turns out, she isn’t bitter about how things went down.
Moving On With Gratitude
An insider spilled the tea to People on October 2, saying Gisele “always thought she would be married to Tom for the rest of her life.” They added that the divorce was super upsetting, and she struggled to wrap her head around it back then, but the source confirmed she’s “not bitter.” That’s a huge shift, right? The same source also mentioned that she’s “grateful for their children and the years they shared.” It sounds like a lot of personal growth happened for her. She even leaned into her spirituality to see the split from a different angle, with the insider explaining she “feels the universe had another plan for her.” Remember her Instagram Story when they finalized things? She said, “With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce.” Her main focus then, and now, is definitely their kids. “My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart,” she wrote, adding they’d “continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve.” They have a son, Benjamin Rein, who’s 16, and a daughter, Vivian Lake, 13. Tom also has his son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 18, with Bridget Moynahan.
New Chapters For Both Of Them
Life has kept moving for both of them, too. Gisele actually remarried in December 2025 to Joaquim Valente, and they even welcomed a son in February 2025. Brady, on the other hand, has been linked to Irina Shayk and there were rumors about him dating Alix Earle after they were spotted at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barth’s and a Super Bowl weekend bash in San Francisco back in February. But from what Brady told People at the Fanatics Launch Party in January, dating doesn’t seem to be his top priority right now. He said, “You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids.” It sounds like he’s really focusing on his post-NFL career and just being a dad to his children.
So, while the initial split was tough, it really seems like both Gisele and Tom have found their footing, prioritizing their kids and their own paths.
