Tom Brady shares emotional message about the meaning of love after ex-wife Gisele Bundchen named her new baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente after Tom

Tom Brady has opened up on how his parents taught him ‘what it means to love’ in a heartfelt social media post on their 56th wedding anniversary.

Brady’s parents, mother Galynn and father Tom Brady Sr, tied the knot in Browerville, Minnesota on April 19, 1969 and the seven-time Super Bowl winner, 47, made sure to celebrate the special day.

Sharing four pictures from the occasion, Brady wrote: ’56 years ago in Browerville, MN… Happy Anniversary to the most incredible parents anyone could ask for.

‘Over the years, you’ve shown our whole family what it truly means to build a life of love, laughter and faith.

‘You’ve taught us how to support one another, how to grow together, and how to face life’s challenges. We’re endlessly grateful for everything you’ve done and continue to do for us.

‘Thank you for being the heart of our family. Here’s to 56 amazing years—and many more to come!’

Seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady’s post comes off the back of a tough few years in his own love life.

Brady was married to Brazilian supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bundchen for 13 years before they split in October 2022.

Since then, Bundchen two months ago welcomed a baby boy at age 44 with her new partner, her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

Brady, meanwhile, hasn’t been quite as quick to move on but it was reported in March that he is casually dating again now that the NFL season is over. He has previously been linked with Irina Shayk before, too.

According to a report earlier in April, Bundchen is enjoying life with Valente who is ‘so different… much more chill and laid-back’ than she found the seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady to be.

However, given that they share two kids together in son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivien, 12, Bundchen hopes Brady’s intense nature doesn’t stop him meeting someone else.

In spite of referencing the more extreme side of Brady’s personality, the source was also quoted as saying: ‘Gisele has no animosity toward her ex.

‘They’re coparenting really well, and she hopes he finds happiness, too. Gisele feels incredibly grateful for everything. She’s living her best life and it shows.’

The NFL great is one of four kids his parents had together. Brady himself is the youngest and grew up with three older sisters.

Since retiring in 2023, Brady has built up his portfolio of investments in the sports world and beyond, notably taking on minority ownership parts in both NFL team Las Vegas Raiders and English soccer team Birmingham City.

The last NFL season was also the first year of Brady’s 10-year agreement with Fox as an analyst.
