Years after their high-profile divorce, Tom Brady is reportedly still struggling to move on, especially as his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen reaches significant personal milestones. Sources reveal that the retired NFL star feels “lonely and sorry for himself,” as Gisele enjoys life with her new boyfriend Joaquim Valente and their children in Costa Rica.
Gisele Bündchen embracing new chapter while Tom Brady struggles
According to insiders, the 44-year-old supermodel is thriving, having moved on both personally and professionally. She has focused on creating a nurturing environment for her children and herself. “I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom],” Gisele told ELLE in 2022. “I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams.”
Meanwhile, Tom Brady, now 47, appears to be wrestling with regret. His reaction to Gisele’s public pregnancy announcement was notably emotional. He shared a sunset image on Instagram with Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” lyrics: “Oh mirror in the sky, what is love / Can the child inside my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?” Fans and insiders suggest that this public display of vulnerability has hampered his dating prospects.

A source told In Touch Weekly, “A lot of people think he’d have a better chance with the ladies if he stopped feeling sorry for himself and watching what Gisele’s doing all the time.” The insider added that Brady’s tendency to dwell on the past is holding him back from moving forward, while Gisele focuses on her purpose and new relationships.
