On the day it was reported that his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, had given birth to a baby with her boyfriend, Tom Brady had work to do.
Bündchen, 44, and her partner, Joaquim Valente, recently welcomed their first child together, TMZ reported on Wednesday, February 5. It was not specified when Bündchen gave birth, and no other details about the little one were made public.
Brady, 47, and Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022 after nearly 14 years of marriage. The couple share son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12. (Brady, also shares son Jack, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
With Brady’s first-ever Super Bowl in the broadcast booth on the horizon, the 7-time Super Bowl champion had little time to wallow.
Backgrid/MEGA Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente’s relationship started off friendly before turning romantic. Bündchen shared that she first connected with the jiu-jitsu instructor after enrolling her and Tom Brady’s son, Benjamin, in Valente’s martial arts academy in Miami.

During a Wednesday afternoon conference call ahead of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 9, Brady addressed some of the criticisms that have been thrown his way during his first season working for Fox Sports.
“I think the mistakes that I’ve made, and I’ve made plenty, I’ve learned from all of them,” Brady said on the call. “You’re not happy they happen, but at the same time, you understand that when they do happen — and I mispronounce words or I forget a certain statistic or the preparation’s a little off in terms of my thoughts on something and I screw up the analysis — I go back and I want to get it right the next time.”

Brady added, “Without the mistakes, you don’t learn from them and apply them going forward. I think all the mistakes I made, although I wish I didn’t make them, the fact that I can learn from them and move forward with a greater sense of awareness just allows you to improve.”
While Brady was able to take part in Wednesday’s conference call, he was not permitted to attend the Chiefs’ practice the same day alongside his Fox Sports colleagues, including Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.
Almost two years after officially retiring from the NFL, Tom Brady proved he’s still got it. The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted some impressive pictures via Instagram on Tuesday, January 7, showing off his beach body during a football game in the sand with his 17-year-old son, Jack. “The playoffs roll around and you can’t […]
Due to Brady’s recent ownership stake in the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, he is not permitted to criticize officials, be in another team’s facility, witness practice or attend broadcast production meetings, either in person or virtually.
However, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt announced a lessening of those restrictions on Tuesday, February 4, indicating Brady will be allowed to attend production meetings involving his team before the Super Bowl.
“When [Brady] was approved as an owner of the Raiders, there were a lot of discussions internally and that ended up being the recommendation of the league office, that it didn’t make sense to have him in the production meetings,” Hunt, 59, told reporters. “That’s where that rule came from. Since he’s doing the game this week, we have no issue with him being in our production meetings. He’ll have the access that any broadcaster would have.”
Brady will be in the booth for the broadcast of Super Bowl LIX between the Chiefs and Eagles on Sunday, February 9, with kickoff at 6:30 pm ET on Fox.
