On Tuesday, November 5, Tom Brady posted a cryptic quote attributed to Theodore Roosevelt on Instagram.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better," the post read. "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again."
"There is no effort without error and shortcoming," the quote continued. "But who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he falls, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
The message was mysterious and lacked context; however, a source confirmed it one week after his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen's first pregnancy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
This is the model's third pregnancy. Brady and Bündchen welcomed their daughter Vivian, 11, and son Benjamin, 14, into their 13-year marriage, which ended in October 2022. The professional athlete also has a 17-year-old son named Jack, who is the son of his former partner, Bridget Moynahan.
Last month, a source disclosed that Tom knew that Gisele and Joaquim were in a committed relationship, but he never anticipated they would have a child together. It was simply not on his agenda. To put it mildly, he was taken aback when Gisele informed him of the situation.
According to The Daily Mail, the football icon was "stung" by the news that she was pregnant with her third child.
Tom was compelled to express his emotions regarding the matter, and he did so in his own time. The insider insisted that while few individuals observe Tom behind closed doors, those who do can discern his distress. It was a difficult pill to accept.
He had never anticipated that it would occur. However, she remains the mother of two of his children, and he is concerned about her well-being.
Brady is not currently dating anyone, according to a separate insider who disclosed to Page Six that he is "super focused on his kids and work."
On October 27, 2022, a source informed Us Weekly that Gisele issued Tom an ultimatum to choose between his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or their family one day before their divorce filing.
According to the insider, Gisele informed Tom that he could either leave football to spend more time with his family or permanently leave. She does not wish for him to continue to sustain injuries and be unable to appreciate life in the future fully. For the sake of her family, she is undertaking this endeavor.
Before their official separation, Gisele had made threats to divorce Tom for years, according to a report by TMZ on October 7, 2022. The insider asserted that all of the disputes were related to football. On October 7, 2022, an additional source informed People that the couple's issues are ten years old and have persisted indefinitely. This is not a novel concept to either of them.
Gisele is "done" with Tom, according to an additional source who disclosed that she does not believe their relationship can be "repaired." An insider acquainted with the model has disclosed that she has terminated their marriage.
She has been distressed about it for an extended period, and it continues to be challenging; however, she believes she must progress. She is skeptical of the possibility of mending her marriage. She is merely endeavoring to comprehend her existence. Tom is not frequently in contact with her.
