Despite the heart-wrenching divorce, Gisele Bündchen remains committed to being there for her bonus child. It has been approximately 43 weeks since the supermodel, valued at $400 million, parted ways with $300 million NFL legend Tom Brady. While they prioritized their careers after the separation, their children remain their most cherished treasures.
Despite the separation, the former NFL power couple, worth a combined $700 million, share Benjamin and Vivian as their children, dedicating time to them. However, Jack, another significant figure in their lives, is no longer frequently seen with his other mother, Gisele. Nonetheless, their bond and affection endure, regardless of the circumstances. This enduring love was recently demonstrated when the runway star reached out to Jack, bridging the distance of 3000 miles.

The caption expressed her feelings, “I can’t believe that you are turning 16! I remember when you were just a little peanut and now you are towering over me. I am so lucky to have you in my life and I will always be here for you no matter what!” Furthermore, Jack’s father, Tom Brady, also paid tribute to his son on Instagram with a caption that read, “16 years of joy with the….son, brother, friend and teammate any parent could ever hope for. You have changed our lives since the day you were born.”
It’s worth noting that Tom Brady shares Jack with his ex Bridget Moynahan, who was born in 2007, when Gisele, the world’s second-richest model, was in a relationship with Brady.

During the ‘honeymoon phase’ with Victoria’s Secret Angel, Tom Brady learned of Bridget’s pregnancy with Jack. Initially, parenthood adjustments were challenging for the catwalk star. But Gisele Bündchen highlighted Jack’s later positive impact on her life. On Vanity Fair’s April 2023 cover, the supermodel shared how Moynahan’s co-parenting with the retired athlete shaped her post-separation connection with the ex-NFL star.
Bündchen acknowledged the initial challenges between them, with their first conversation occurring over a year after Brady and Moynahan’s son Jack was born. This was during the early days of Bündchen’s involvement with Brady, which she described as a “challenging situation.” Nonetheless, soon after some time, the 43-year-old eventually embraced Jack as an important part of her life, referring to him as her ‘bonus child’ and expressing her preference for not being addressed as a stepmom by Jack.
