Gisele Bundchen relaxes with new husband and baby on boat after ex Tom Brady admits divorce ‘took a lot out of me’
Gisele Bündchen appeared firmly settled into her new chapter with her husband Joaquim Valente and their son as they enjoyed an afternoon on the water in Miami.
On Sunday, the Brazilian supermodel, 44, lounged aboard a sleek boat while rocking a strapless green patterned top and matching pants, which showcased her lean figure.
Just days after her ex-husband Tom Brady publicly reflected on how their divorce weighed heavily on the final season of his NFL career, the mother-of-three looked happier than ever tending to her little boy, who turns one next month.
Bündchen seemed at ease, while lounging at the front of the boat, as she let her long hair fall loose over her shoulders while leaning forward attentively toward to youngest child.
Valente wore a pair of black board shorts as he made the most of the warm Florida weather amid a powerful winter across the United States, which has left at least 17 dead and hundreds of thousands without power.
The couple’s serene outing stood in stark contrast to recent comments made by Brady, 48, earlier this month about the personal strain he was under during his final season in the NFL.

While appearing on The Herd, the FOX Sports analyst was asked about the possible retirement decision facing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but used the moment to reflect on his own experience stepping away from the game.
‘My last season was tough,’ Brady admitted. ‘I was going through a lot of just a personal family issue, and it was a challenge… It just took a lot out of me in terms of my ability to continue to play.’
Brady acknowledged that the pressures of his personal life, including the breakdown of his marriage to Bündchen, unfolded in the middle of the 2022 season.
‘I had 23 years of it, so I didn’t feel like I was missing anything retiring,’ he continued. ‘I was 45 years old. I wanted to spend time with my kids. I felt like, “Okay, now it’s time for me to be at all my kids’ games.”‘
The former quarterback had initially announced his retirement following the 2021 season, before making a surprise U-turn and returning for one final campaign – a decision that reportedly caused tension in his marriage.
In October 2022, Bündchen filed for divorce, ending their 13-year marriage while Brady was still actively playing.
Three years on, Bündchen has remarried and moved forward with Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor she wed on December 3 following the quiet arrival of their first child together.
Sources previously told The Daily Mail that Brady was aware the wedding was taking place and was informed out of respect due to their shared children.

‘It wasn’t a secret to him,’ an insider said. ‘They still have to talk because of the kids, and important milestones like her getting married was something she wasn’t going to keep secret.’
The source added that Brady has taken the news ‘in stride,’ remaining focused on co-parenting and accepting that Bündchen has found happiness again.
‘He’s happy in a way that is simple: he’s happy that she is happy,’ the insider said. ‘Down the line he might get married again and he would want her to be OK with that, so he has to be OK about it.’
Brady was most recently caught getting flirty with social media star Alix Earle on New Years Eve during a yacht party in St. Barths.

In one video, which was obtained by TMZ, Earle can be seen dancing to some music with the legendary NFL quarterback before leaning in to whisper something in his ear while slowly caressing his back.
Another clip shows her glancing over her shoulder and looking him up and down as they get their groove on at the party, with a third capturing Brady placing his hand around her lower waist.
Neither Earle, who only split from Berrios last month, or Brady have commented on the viral videos of their NYE exchange.
Earle confirmed her breakup with Berrios on Instagram in mid-December in a tearful video while describing him as her ‘best friend.’
‘I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs,’ Earle said. ‘I love Braxton, he is my best friend and it has been really difficult as we try and go forward with this. We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him.’
