Gisele Bundchen’s romance collapses as she turns the blame to NFL legend Tom Brady
Gisele Bundchen’s latest romance has quickly died out and the Brazilian model has decided to blame her ex-husband, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady by pinning the problems on his Netflix appearance. The former-New England Patriot appeared on a celebrity roast where his family and ex-wife became the target of a lot of jokes, for which the 43-year-old says was not well-thought out by her divorced husband and left her new man, Joaquim Valente, pen to attack.
“She blames the break on Tom,” an insider said to In Touch of Bundchen. “By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.” Brady and Bundchen married in 2009 after they began dating in 2006, with their marriage yielding two children. However, it all ended in October 2022 when Bundchen filed for divorce. Media claimed it was related to the quarterback’s decision to prolong his NFL career into his 40s after coming out of retirement, but this is something she denied.
Why did Valente pull back?
Valente, who is not used to the famous lights of the media attention of dating one of the most popular models on the planet, was reportedly not used to the focus on himself and his partner, despite them being long-time friends prior to their relationship.
It turns out that the personal connection was not enough for them to be able to navigate through the situation together, they’ve now reportedly put their relationship on hold and he has not been spotted at her Florida home since April 2024 after beginning dating a year ago.
“The spotlight was too much for him,” added a source to In Touch. “Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting. “Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce. He hated that.”
