It’s been just over a week since NFL legend and now Fox NFL broadcaster Tom Brady was enjoying Taylor Swift’s “The Era’s Tour” in Miami with his two boys. Now, his life will be a little different moving forward.
Brady is the father of three: Jack (17), Benjamin (14), and Vivian (11). He shares his two younger children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, while Jack is from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
Brady, 47, and Bündchen, 44, divorced in 2022, but their relationship made headlines on Monday. According to a report by People, Bündchen is pregnant with her new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, a 35-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor.
The next day, Tuesday, the Daily Mail shared insights from a source close to Brady, revealing his reaction to the news.

Bündchen told Brady privately just after she told their two children. Since then, Bündchen’s “unexpected” pregnancy with Valente has been “a hard pill to swallow” for the quarterback.
“Finding out Gisele (Bündchen) was pregnant stung,” the source told Daily Mail. “Tom (Brady) had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time. There’s not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset. It was a hard pill to swallow. It was never something he ever thought was going to happen.”
The source also shared he isn’t “letting it get to him anymore.”
“But she (Bündchen) is still the mother of two of his children, so he wants her to be OK,” Daily Mail’s source added. “He has to move on, and with her pregnant, she has definitely moved on, so he can’t be upset about it anymore. He is not letting it get to him anymore.”

Brady won seven Super Bowls in his 23-year NFL career, the first six with the New England Patriots and the final one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
During that stretch, the former three-time NFL MVP recorded 89,214 passing yards and 649 touchdowns.
Brady is expected to be on the call for Sunday’s NFC North matchup between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox.
