Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady often find themselves together in headlines even after their divorce nearly four years ago. Today, the Brazilian supermodel celebrated Father’s Day with a heartfelt message to her husband, Joaquim Valente.
However, her ex-husband, the legendary NFL quarterback, was missing from the post.
Tom Brady Missing from Gisele Bündchen’s Extensive Father’s Day Tribute
Bündchen shared an Instagram post on Sunday honoring Valente, with whom she shares a 1-year-old son. She also paid tribute to her father, Valdir Bündchen.
“Happy Father’s Day @joaquimvalente! Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency,” Gisele wrote. “You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.”
There were several snaps in her post, mainly of Valente spending time with their son. One adorable image showed the couple and their child standing in front of a rainbow. Another one captured the jiu-jitsu instructor lying on a studio floor as the boy crawled on top of him.
Other photos included Gisele’s children, Benjamin and Vivian. She shares those two with Brady. In one photo, Vivian can be seen hugging Valente, while another features Bündchen’s new husband alongside Benjamin.

Gisele also used the post to honor her father.
“Thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life.”
In such an extensive post, with a heartfelt message and tons of memorable snaps, Brady was nowhere to be found.

Interestingly, just over a month ago, Brady paid a heartfelt tribute to Bündchen on Mother’s Day. The New England Patriots legend celebrated the mothers in his life on Instagram, including Gisele and ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. Moynahan is the mother of Brady’s eldest son, Jack.
“Happy Mother’s Day❤️❤️❤️,” Brady wrote.
Brady and Gisele were married for 13 years after tying the knot in 2009. The couple finalized their divorce in October 2022 after confirming they would end their marriage.
Bündchen reportedly started dating Valente in 2023. The pair welcomed their son in February 2025. They got married in a small private ceremony in December 2025.
Both Brady and Bündchen went their separate ways after the divorce. While the model started a family with Valente, Brady retired in February 2023. He then became a color commentator for FOX Sports, signing a $375 million deal.
