Tom Brady posts cryptic message following Gisele Bündchen’s marriage to Joaquim Valente

The former NFL quarterback shared a reflective Instagram post after news of his ex-wife's wedding

Tom Brady shared a cryptic social media message days after news emerged that his former wife Gisele Bündchen had married Joaquim Valente.

The former New England Patriots quarterback posted the update on Instagram Stories on December 20, shortly after reports of the marriage circulated.

The post featured a close-up image of Brady wearing a white hoodie printed with the words “Forever Young”. He captioned the image with a brief response, writing “Yuppppppp.” While the image itself was understated, the accompanying music choice drew attention. Brady attached Logic’s 2017 song “1-800-273-8255”, a track widely recognised for its focus on mental health and emotional vulnerability.

Lyrics from the song include, “I've been on the low, I been taking my time / I feel like I'm out of my mind / It feel like my life ain't mine (Who can relate? Woo).” The post offered a glimpse into Brady’s mindset following the latest developments in his former partner’s personal life.

Brady shares children Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with Bündchen, as well as son Jack, 18, with former partner Bridget Moynahan. He and the Brazilian supermodel finalised their divorce three years ago after 13 years of marriage.

Bündchen recently appeared wearing a wedding ring at a red carpet event in São Paulo, Brazil, on December 18. Marriage records indicate that she married Valente, a 38-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor, in Surfside, Florida, on December 3. The couple welcomed their first child together in February and reportedly began dating in June 2023.
