Gisele's own message on Mother's Day

Meanwhile, Bundchen had shared her own message just before Mother's Day. She shared the first picture of her new son on social media. She welcomed her third child with partner Joaquim Valente. In early 2026, she celebrated his first birthday, sharing that his middle name is River.

"I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life..Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared—they’re simply lived," she wrote in the caption of her Mother's Day post. "Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present."

"Today, on Mother’s Day, I specially [sic] miss my mom, but my heart is full," she added. "Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day. To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can’t describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy mother’s day! Sending so much love your way! ❤️"

Why Tom Brady broke up with Gisele Bundchen, Bridget Moynahan

Tom Brady and Bundchen publicly said their 2022 divorce was amicable, but multiple interviews and reports point to growing tension over Brady’s football career and family priorities. The biggest reported issue was the former Patriots QB reversing his retirement decision that year and returning to the NFL shortly after announcing he would step away from football.

Bundchen had openly discussed wanting him to spend more time with family and prioritize life outside football.

“I’ve done my part … and now it’s going to be my turn,” she said in an interview.

The couple finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

As for Bridget Moynahan, Brady dated her before Bundchen. They split in late 2006, and afterward Moynahan revealed she was pregnant with his child. B
