Gisele Bündchen, known for her divorce from 7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, shared some thought-provoking posts on Instagram. On Monday, the Sports Illustrated model posted a quote from Brazilian writer Wandy Luz that touched on the themes of personal struggles and resilience.
“You look at a person and can’t imagine the story they carry—the pains, traumas, fears, just as we can’t even imagine how strong, capable, and resilient someone is,” Bündchen posted on her story.
“Behind smiles and glances are achievements and victories; there are people and moments they overcome and dreams and desires to be achieved.”
The post concluded with a universal message of compassion: “There’s so much you’ll never know. So, be kind whenever you can.” The share raised eyebrows and added a layer of introspection to her separation from her ex-husband Brady.

Once a high-profile celebrity couple, the two announced their divorce in late 2022. After months of speculation regarding troubles in their marriage, both Brady and Bündchen shared statements on their social media confirming their decision to amicably end their marriage.
The couple was married for over a decade and has two children together. Their separation was widely reported in the media, with many attributing the stresses of their respective careers and Brady’s brief retirement and subsequent return to professional football as contributing factors to their split.
Paparazzi recently photographed Bündchen on what appeared to be a date with her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. Since her split from Brady, he has been seen with other women. However, Bündchen has been the subject of rumors and accusations, suggesting that her relationship with Valente began before her divorce was finalized.
“I really don’t want to make my life a tabloid. I don’t want to open myself up to all of that,” Bündchen told the New York Times in March. She firmly denied any allegations of infidelity, stating, “That is a lie.”
“This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,” she said. “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
“No one really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship,” Gisele said. She has been divorced for nearly 18 months, during which Tom Brady seems to have moved on. Bündchen has now done the same.
She confirmed that she is seeing someone new and is protective of the relationship. “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she said. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
