Overview
- On Sunday, June 21, Gisele Bündchen posted an Instagram tribute thanking her husband Joaquim Valente for “leading by example” and listing values he embodies.
- The post included a carousel of family photos showing Valente with their infant son and Bündchen’s two older children but made no mention of her ex‑husband Tom Brady.
- Bündchen and Valente welcomed their first child together in February 2025 and quietly married in December 2025, and Valente is identified in coverage as a Brazilian jiu‑jitsu instructor.
- Outlets noted Brady had publicly marked Mother’s Day in recent weeks and had not publicly responded to Bündchen’s Father’s Day post at the time of reporting.
- Coverage frames the omission as a public messaging moment that highlights the couple’s privacy around family life and could keep tabloid focus on how the former spouses navigate co‑parenting in public.
