If you Google ‘Tom Brady Forever Valentine‘, you’ll find a Feb. 14, 2020, tweet—back when it was still Twitter and not X (simpler times, right?). When Tom and Gisele were in their element. Or rather, when they were at the peak of their powers. The golden couple of sports and fashion, effortlessly in love… At least, on screens and social media.

Even that Brady post? A silly, beautiful selfie of Gisele biting Tom’s left ear, with a caption that felt straight out of a rom-com. Social media swooned. Now, fast forward to 2025. Five years since that tweet, two and a half years since their very public divorce, and Tom’s Valentine’s Day post still reads Forever Valentine.

But this time, it’s not Gisele. It’s a selfie with his daughter, Vivian, posted to his Instagram story. No dramatic love story, no tabloids speculating about reconciliation—just a dad and his little girl, locked in a bond that outlasts relationships and breakups.

And if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, then yeah—we might be hopeless romantics. Maybe Tom sees a little bit of Gisele in Vivian. Maybe “forever” isn’t about who’s by your side, but who stays in your heart. Because let’s be real, some things don’t change, no matter how much life does.

As for the life? Tom has seen a transition from TB12 to a $375 million FOX broadcaster while also suiting up for a minority owner gig in Sin City (where he’s literally calling shots). All the while making sure that his 2024 Paris Olympic blog with Vivian was his first-ever YT upload. And that he is not failing to swing clubs on the green with his son, Jack.

Meanwhile, for Gisele? She has moved on. Sure, die-hard Brady fans speculated, and still do, that the Brazilian model might have been involved already with her current partner while she was married. But that’s mostly unverified gossip. As far as her latest update is concerned, she has found love.

Gisele takes the leap of LOVE—long after closing the chapter with Tom Brady

Gisele Bündchen is stepping into a new chapter, and this time, there’s no looking back. The supermodel and her partner, Joaquim Valente, are embracing parenthood together after welcoming their first child earlier this month. According to an insider, “the delivery went perfectly,” and the couple has been soaking up every moment with their newborn.

Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor turned doting dad, has been by her side “24/7,” proving he’s more than ready for the role. For Gisele, this isn’t just about adding another member to the family—it’s about building something new, something entirely her own.

If you’re wondering, yes, the water-themed names live on. While the baby’s full name remains under wraps, his middle name—River—follows the same pattern as his older siblings, Vivian Lake (12) and Benjamin Rein (15). Coincidence? Hardly. This is Gisele’s way of keeping her family connected, even as her life takes a completely different turn from her days with Tom Brady.

And speaking of Brady, guess who was among the first to congratulate the new parents? Tom himself. If that’s not a sign of a co-parenting win, what is?

The Bündchen-Valente romance first made headlines in mid-2023, roughly eight months after her divorce from Brady, was finalized. So, let’s just say, the internet had opinions. But feeling obligated, Gisele did shut all the rumors down. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship,” she said in 2024.

She made it clear that, no, it’s not a betrayal of any sorts. She just wanted to move on, something that wasn’t easy no matter how it looked. And now, with a new baby and a partner who’s “taken to the dad role like a natural,” she’s doing just that.
