A year after her divorce from Tom Brady, supermodel Gisele Bundchen has started a new romantic relationship. She is dating her jiu-jitsu coach, Joaquim Valente. But it is difficult for the ex-husband of the model to come to terms with the fact that his divorced wife, with whom he has been married for 13 years, has found someone else so quickly.

The publication “National Enquirer” writes that the former NFL player expressed his suspicions about Gisele’s new romance, because he thinks that his ex-wife met Valenti when they were still married.
A person close to the situation told the National Enquirer reporter: “Tom knows his train has left to get Gisele back, but that doesn’t make it any easier.”

“He cannot hide his surprise at how long everything actually takes,” said an acquaintance about the athlete’s suspicions. “Their sudden romance has Tom very suspicious.”
“Brady is having a hard time getting over it,” the unnamed source continued. “He feels like a fool.”

Rumors of Bundchen’s new romance surfaced soon after she officially finalized her divorce from Brady in 2022. Even at that time, acquaintances categorically denied rumors that the new relationship had blossomed during the marriage.
The Brazilian beauty herself has not yet personally confirmed her relationship, but a person close to the divorced couple said: “She is acting like a woman in love – and Tom is in pain!”

The source said Brady took a career break after retiring from professional sports in hopes of getting Bundchen back and rekindling their relationship.
The publication claims that Brady put the $375 million broadcast deal with FOX Sports on hold in order to have time to focus on saving his broken marriage.

The source said: “The biggest obstacle in their relationship was Gisele’s complaints about Tom putting football ahead of family, so he decided to show that he was ready to focus on family before focusing on a new job.”
“His only goal right now is to get his family back.”
