Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bundchen announced on Monday that she is expecting a baby. It will be the model's third child and her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente.
Just hours after the news was released, her ex-husband, Tom Brady, posted a cryptic, yet emotional post on his Instagram story.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion shared a photo of a sunset and then added The Chicks' song "Landslide," a remake of the Fleetwood Mac hit song, to play over the photo. He didn't add a caption but he did use three red heart emojis in the post.
Fans on social media had plenty to say about Brady's post.
Some social media users were a bit surprised by Brady's post and thought that the former NFL quarterback was taking this route after Bundchen's announcement. Fans got a lot of jokes from the post and said they thought it was funny.
"This is - and I am not joking - one of the funniest things I've ever seen."-one person on X joked.
"Tom brady in his feelings posting the chicks of all artists is not something on my 2024 bingo card."-another said.
"This is so funny, I can't even believe it's real."-another shocked fan said.
Others on social media jokingly predicted that his choice in lyrics may get even more emotional as time goes on. One person who commented on the post didn't show much remorse for Tom Brady as they believed he chose his career over his family for many years.
"A grown man who chose football over his family trying to collect 'poor you's on social media when a 'congratulations' or, better yet, silence would have sufficed."-one person said of Brady's situation.
"If I fumbled Gisele that badly I'd be doing more than posting lyrics on Instagram" - suggested one person.
"bro’s going to be posting Dashboard Confessional within the month at this rate" - one person predicted.
Tom Brady reportedly knew about Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy before announcement
Tom Brady's choice of song lyrics and cryptic Instagram post had many speculating that he had just found out about Gisele Bundchen's pregnancy. According to TMZ, a source revealed that Brady was told before the announcement was made publicly.
Brady and Bundchen were married for 13 years and have two children together, Benjamin and Vivian. They announced that they were divorcing in October 2022, during his final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Shortly after her divorce from the quarterback, Bundchen was spotted spending time with Joaquim Valente, who was her and her children's jiu-jitsu teacher. Bundchen confirmed that she and Valente began dating in June 2023.
