Tom Brady’s Cryptic Post Sparks Speculation After Gisele Bündchen’s Baby News

Just a day after reports confirmed that supermodel Gisele Bündchen welcomed her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, her ex-husband, former NFL star Tom Brady, took to social media with a cryptic message about love and friendship.

Brady’s ‘Secret to Love’ Post

On Thursday, the retired quarterback shared a thought-provoking quote on Instagram:

“I really think the secret to being loved is to love. And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to having others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.”

Brady, 47, further emphasized the message by adding three heart emojis and writing, “Love this.”

While the post could be purely coincidental, its timing has certainly raised eyebrows, as it closely follows the news of Bündchen and Valente’s newborn.

Not the First Cryptic Post

Brady has a history of sharing reflective quotes seemingly tied to major events in Bündchen’s life.

• In October 2024, when news first surfaced about Bündchen’s pregnancy, Brady posted a sunset photo set to Landslide by The Chicks—a song often associated with change and nostalgia.
• A week later, he shared a quote about resilience: “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again.”

Fans have long speculated that these posts hint at his personal thoughts regarding his ex-wife’s evolving life.

Brady’s Reaction to Gisele’s Baby News

According to sources, Brady was taken aback by the news of Bündchen welcoming a child with Valente, though he was aware of their serious relationship.

“It just wasn’t something that was on his radar,” an insider told Page Six.

Despite his initial surprise, Brady has reportedly reached out to congratulate Bündchen, proving that he harbors no resentment.

Life After Divorce

Brady and Bündchen were married for 13 years before finalizing their divorce in 2022. They share two children: Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12. Brady also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.

Since their split, Bündchen and Valente—her longtime jiu-jitsu instructor—began dating in mid-2023 and have now started a family together.

Brady, on the other hand, has kept his romantic life more private. He was briefly linked to supermodel Irina Shayk, but no serious relationships have been publicly confirmed.

As speculation continues about Brady’s cryptic posts, one thing is certain—fans are keeping a close eye on his next move.
