In case you missed it, Gisele Bündchen is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente — and Tom Brady has officially responded. Well, kind of.
Just hours after the news broke, Tom took to social media with what fans are calling a cryptic message, leaving everyone guessing what he might be feeling about Gisele’s major life update.
First, let’s rewind to the Gisele and Tom days.

But in 2022, after 13 years, they announced their split. Cue heartbreak everywhere as one of the most iconic couples called it quits.

Since the split, Gisele has been nothing but classy about the whole thing.

Enter Joaquim Valente, her jiu-jitsu instructor who’s been a close friend for years.

Things got serious fast, too.

Brady hadn’t directly commented on the new relationship status of his ex-wife, but it seemed like everyone’s getting along just fine.
Gisele was recently spotted in Miami, rocking a white sweater and green leggings that showed off a cute little baby bump.

And he didn’t just post the song; he specifically quoted one verse.
Embed from Getty ImagesHe shared the part that goes: “Well, I’ve been ‘fraid of changin’ / ‘Cause I’ve built my life around you / But time makes you bolder / Even children get older / And I’m gettin’ older, too.”
Fans and followers were quick to connect the dots, reading into Tom’s message as possibly a nod to his past with Gisele.

Meanwhile, sources told TMZ that Gisele wanted to make sure Tom heard the big news directly from her.
