She has been vacationing with friends and partying for the past couple of months while sharing custody of their kids.
While she continues to harbor an amicable relationship with her ex since their separation. She is about to undergo a troubling time with Brady following the developments of their financial mistake over the past month.

Tom Brady and ex- stood up by Crypto
The former couple joined the Cryptocurrency hype back in 2021 as they aligned themselves with FTX. Their deal saw Brady bag an astounding $30 million while his ex, Gisele bagged a staggering $18 million. But the catch was that they’d be paid mostly in stock options and not in cash. In hindsight, this has culminated in the duo losing 7% of their combined net worth, 10% for the former Bucs man, while Gisele lost almost 3%.
To add to the FTX scandal, they were provided with a small amount of other cryptocurrencies to trade. Ever since the bankruptcy hit the news, the options of Ethereum, bitcoin, and others have since vanished. The supermodel and the former Patriots man’s stakes have been wiped clean following the failed venture.
