Tom Brady sent the internet buzzing this weekend after sharing cryptic posts on social media just hours after news broke of ex-wife Gisele Bündchen’s wedding to Joaquim Valente. The former NFL star shared a series of Instagram Stories late Saturday, adding intrigue to the timing as global media outlets reported Bündchen had tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend in a private ceremony earlier this month.
Brady posts mysterious message
In one selfie, Brady appears in a white hoodie with the words “Forever Young.” He captioned the photo with a casual yet suggestive “Yuppppppp,” prompting speculation online. The story was set to Logic’s 2017 emotional hit “1-800-273-8255,” a song about mental health struggles and reaching out for help. Lyrics featured in the clip highlight themes of isolation and inner turmoil. Fans quickly interpreted the post as reflective of Brady’s emotional state, especially given the timing. Others dismissed the connection, saying the former athlete often shares motivational and philosophical notes online.
Bündchen and Valente wed quietly in Florida
Sources confirmed that Bündchen married her jiu-jitsu trainer and partner of more than two years, Joaquim Valente, in an intimate ceremony on December 3 in Surfside, Florida. The low-key wedding reportedly took place at home and was attended only by close family and friends.
Bündchen and Valente first sparked romance rumors in 2023 and made their relationship public in 2024. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in February 2025. The newborn’s name has yet to be made public, reflecting the pair’s consistent efforts to shield their private life. An insider told media outlets that Valente is “thrilled they finally tied the knot after having a child together.”
Brady and Bündchen’s modern co-parenting journey
Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They share two children together — daughter Vivian Lake and son Benjamin Rein. Brady also co-parents his older son Jack with ex-partner Bridget Moynahan. Since the split, Brady and Bündchen have kept a largely cooperative co-parenting approach while rebuilding their individual post-divorce lives.
Public reactions to the new wedding reflect a mix of curiosity and empathy for Brady as fans speculate on how the news affects him emotionally. The cryptic post arrives as the NFL legend continues navigating life outside football, balancing media projects, business ventures, and parenting responsibilities.
Speculation intensifies, but no official response
Neither Brady nor Bündchen has commented publicly on whether the Instagram post referenced the wedding. Still, the timing and emotional tone re-ignited online discussions around celebrity breakups, remarriage, and emotional well-being. For now, observers await whether Brady will clarify the message — or allow speculation to continue.
