Gisele Bundchen Denies Cheating Allegations Amid Pregnancy with New Partner
MIAMI, Fla. — Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel and ex-wife of NFL legend Tom Brady, has denied allegations of infidelity during their marriage, calling them “a lie” in a recent interview with The New York Times. Bundchen, who is currently pregnant with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente‘s child, emphasized the challenges women face when leaving unhealthy relationships.
The allegations surfaced during Netflix‘s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” where comedian Kevin Hart made a controversial joke referencing Bundchen’s relationship with Valente, a jiu-jitsu coach. “You sometimes got to f*** your coach. You know who else f***ed their coach? Gisele. She f***ed that karate man,” Hart quipped during the special. Bundchen was reportedly “deeply hurt” by the remarks, and Brady later apologized to her for the jokes made at her expense.
In her interview, Bundchen defended her decision to leave the marriage, stating, “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful.” She added that women often face scrutiny from their communities and families when making such decisions.
Since their separation in October 2022, Bundchen has moved on with Valente, while Brady remains single. Last month, Bundchen was spotted vacationing in Costa Rica with Valente and close friends, showcasing her baby bump. Meanwhile, Brady has reportedly been focusing on his career and children, with sources close to him revealing that he is finding it challenging to cope with Bundchen’s pregnancy.
Bundchen, a former Victoria's Secret model and environmental activist, has a net worth of $400 million, surpassing Brady’s estimated $300 million. The couple co-owns multiple properties, including homes in New York City, Miami, Costa Rica, and Montana. Bundchen’s lifestyle includes a focus on health and wellness, with a diet free of white sugar and a preference for natural sweeteners like maple syrup and honey.
As Bundchen embraces her new chapter, Brady continues to navigate life post-divorce. Despite the public scrutiny, Bundchen remains steadfast in her commitment to living authentically and addressing the societal pressures faced by women in the public eye.
