Tom Brady is doing just fine amid news that his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is expecting a baby with her new partner, according to a source speaking to PEOPLE. Despite the buzz surrounding Bündchen’s exciting personal news, Brady is said to be in a comfortable place, focusing on his work and his children.
“He’s not dating anyone. He’s concentrating on work and his kids,” the source told PEOPLE, making it clear that Brady’s priorities lie with his family and career for the time being.
Brady, the legendary quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion, has kept busy in his new role as an analyst for Fox Sports. His broadcasting career officially began at the start of the NFL season in September, and he’s embracing the opportunity with enthusiasm.
His first game as an analyst took place on September 8, and during the broadcast, Brady expressed how refreshing it felt to be in a stadium without the physical demands of being on the field.
“I was using my arm and my body for so many years, and now I get to a stadium, and I get to use my voice,” Brady said during the broadcast, speaking to colleague Kevin Burkhardt. “I might get out there tomorrow morning and throw some passes just to remember what it feels like. But as Michael Strahan told me in the pregame, ‘You’re going to wake up Monday morning, and you aren’t going to be sore,’ and that I’m very happy about.”
In addition to his work at Fox, Brady recently made an appearance as a guest speaker at the Fortune Global Forum in New York City on November 12. During his talk, Brady emphasized the importance of hard work, resilience, and the value of stepping outside one’s comfort zone to achieve success.

“I was always focused on ensuring they were working harder than they ever thought they’d have to work,” Brady said, referring to the leadership style he used with his teammates when he captained both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “They had to show up every day with a good attitude, humble when things go well, curious to learn more when they don’t go well.”
He continued, “We’ve all faced different challenges in life; we’ve all faced our own adversities. Look at the hardest things that have ever happened. We look back at those and realize they’re the best things that could’ve happened.” Brady’s focus on personal growth and resilience has remained at the forefront of his life, even after his retirement from professional football.
Although Brady has not made any public comments about Bündchen’s pregnancy news, he seemed to share a subtle reflection on social media.
A day after the story broke on October 28, Brady posted a serene photo of a sunset to Instagram, accompanied by the Chicks’ cover of “Landslide,” a poignant song about change and how time never stands still. The post hinted at acceptance and perhaps an acknowledgment of the changes happening around him.
Meanwhile, a source close to Bündchen revealed that the model is thrilled about the new addition to her family. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life, and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” the source said.
Bündchen has been dating Joaquim Valente, a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, since June 2023. Their baby will join Bündchen’s children with Brady: 14-year-old son Benjamin Rein and 11-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. The couple appears excited to blend their lives and create a harmonious environment for their growing family.
For Brady, life appears to be about maintaining balance and focusing on what truly matters—his children and his new professional journey.
While the spotlight often follows his every move, Brady’s attention remains on his career transition and being a present father to his children.
The recent developments in Bündchen’s life might have captured headlines, but Brady seems content, focusing on his own path and remaining supportive of his family in the process.
