The Former NFL Quarterback Never Guessed What Would Happen Next
The contents of the next chapter of Bündchen’s story have been quite surprising for Brady. The couple were married in 2009 and called it quits two years ago. The model and her new boyfriend began to be linked in the public eye that same year following a Costa Rican getaway. Bündchen vehemently denied cheating rumors, and proclaimed them to be nothing but “lies.”
A source revealed to Page Six that while Brady was used to the idea of his ex’s new and serious relationship, he did not have pregnancy news “on his radar.”
“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquin but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” the insider told the publication, and described Brady as being “stunned” after his ex-wife shared her news.
