NFL star Tom Brady has sparked online speculation with a cryptic message that appears to address his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
On October 28, 2024, just hours after the news of the supermodel’s pregnancy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, broke, Brady posted a sunset photo on his Instagram Stories. While the image itself didn’t convey any apparent emotions, his choice of song raised eyebrows online.
He paired the post with The Chicks’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s classic Landslide, originally written by Stevie Nicks. In the caption, he included three red heart emojis along with three prominent lines from the song, which read,
“❤️❤️❤️ Oh mirror in the sky, what is love / Can the child inside my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?”
The song’s lyrics are often described as reflecting the struggle of feeling lost while finding one’s way. In a 1998 interview, Nicks spoke about the writing process behind the song. She shared,
“I’m not happy. I am tired. But I don’t know if we can do any better than this… So during those two months, I made a decision to continue. And Landslide was the decision”.
Despite the cryptic Instagram story, Tom has not directly commented on his ex-wife’s happy news yet.
Source Suggests Gisele Bündchen’s Infidelity May Have Led To Divorce From Brady
In February 2024, an anonymous source unintentionally sparked online rumors of infidelity regarding Gisele while discussing the model and her current boyfriend with US Weekly following her divorce from Tom Brady. The insider stated,
“Joaquim was there for Gisele through her divorce, as a friend… They both have similar lifestyles… Gisele also loves being with someone who is from Brazil. They both have a shared history that she hasn’t had with anyone else she’s dated”.
However, the cheating allegations were strongly denied by Bündchen in a New York Times interview the following month. Addressing the rumors, she asserted,
“That is a lie. This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful…”
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen first met on a blind date in 2006. The couple dated for three years before tying the knot in February 2009. Together, they share two children – a son, Benjamin Rein Brady, and a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady. After 13 years of marriage, they divorced in October 2022.
Since their split, Gisele has moved on with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, while Tom has been rumored to be dating supermodel Irina Shayk since July 2023. However, neither Brady nor Shayk has officially confirmed or denied the status of their relationship.
Fans Show Support For Tom Brady Amid Bündchen’s Pregnancy Announcement
The online community harshly criticized Gisele, accusing her of infidelity with Joaquim Valente, a romantic relationship she previously denied during her marriage to Brady. Many netizens rallied in support of the NFL star, expressing disapproval of Bündchen’s actions. Some comments read,
“Must have cheated on Tom Brady since he was her instructor when married”.
“Wait 🤷 what 😳that’s the guy Tom hired during their marriage to be Gisele personal trainer 😭🚫 she is tripping out💯🥴”
One commenter even sarcastically suggested that Brady should have never broken up with his ex, Bridget Moynahan, whom he dated just before Gisele. They wrote,
As the conversation surrounding Gisele’s pregnancy continues to unfold, fans remain divided, with many standing firmly by Tom Brady’s side. The drama highlights the complexities of their past relationship, leaving followers eager for more updates on both the stars.
