Gisele Bündchen posted a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute on Sunday dedicated entirely to her new husband, Joaquim Valente, and her own father, Valdir. She noticeably left her ex-husband Tom Brady off the list.
The supermodel shared rare photos of Valente with their infant son, born in early 2025, and included shots of him spending time with her two older children, Benjamin and Vivian. She called Valente an “incredible role model” and thanked him for leading their family with love, humility, integrity, and consistency.
Bündchen and the seven-time Super Bowl champion divorced in late 2022 after 13 years of marriage. She married the Miami martial arts studio co-owner in December 2025. The glaring omission of Brady generated widespread online attention, with entertainment outlets framing the move as a direct snub and a clear shift in their co-parenting dynamic.
Brady spent his weekend posting a tribute solely dedicated to his own father, Tom Brady Sr. The silence from Bündchen is a direct contrast to Brady’s social media activity just weeks earlier. The retired quarterback warmly included Bündchen in his Mother’s Day post celebrating the mothers in his life.
