Gisele Bundchen watched viral clips of ex-husband Tom Brady’s first-ever runway appearance in New York and reportedly reacted with amusement, calling the performance “fun to watch” even as she acknowledged that modeling is a skill that takes years to master.
Tom Brady stepped onto a New York City runway for the first time on Saturday night, and it didn’t take long for the internet to catch up.
The 48-year-old former NFL quarterback walked the catwalk as part of a star-studded Gucci fashion show, striding out in a striking leather outfit alongside names including Mariah Carey, Lindsay Lohan and Shawn Mendes. Footage of his bold strut spread quickly online.
Gisele Bundchen. 45. reportedly watched those viral clips with an “amused reaction.” Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack says Bundchen was told by a source that her ex-husband’s modeling debut was “fun to watch.” The account adds that Bundchen understands Tom’s “confidence and charisma. ” but also believes runway modeling is “an actual skill that takes years to master.”.
Bundchen and Brady announced their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The couple share two children—son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13.
Since then, their personal timelines have moved in opposite directions. Bundchen officially moved on after marrying jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in a secret wedding at their home in Surfside, Florida, in December last year.
Brady, meanwhile, has not entered a serious, public relationship since splitting from the mother of two of his children. He has been linked with several high-profile women, including 25-year-old influencer Alix Earle. Brady was first seen enjoying a flirtatious New Year’s Eve with Earle in St. Barths, before he was filmed groping her at a party before February’s Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.
The reporting also includes a March claim that Brady and Earle’s connection wasn’t meant to turn serious. A source told the Daily Mail that Brady “isn’t dating anyone specifically. ” and that he “isn’t really looking for that. ” adding: “Dating isn’t something ever on his mind.” The insider described him as “awkward when it comes to dating. ” saying he often lets women take the lead and doesn’t have “great game.” They also said Tom and Alix are “not exclusively dating. ” framing it as “hooking up and having fun type of thing. ” while insisting that she is “totally his type.”.
Beyond Earle, Brady has also been linked in recent years with the likes of Irina Shayk, Sofia Vergara and Kim Kardashian.
All of that background only made Bundchen’s reported verdict land sharper: she may have been entertained by Brady’s confidence on the runway, but she still sees what he’s stepping into as something that can’t be faked—something that takes years to truly learn.
