Gisele Bündchen Breaks Down In Tears Over Tom Brady Divorce To Robin Roberts Amid ‘Cheating’ Rumors: ‘Death Of A Dream’

In a new interview with Robin Roberts, Gisele Bündchen displayed a rare emotional response to her divorce from her ex-husband Tom Brady. This interview comes after Gisele’s relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor spurred rumors that Gisele may have cheated on Brady while they were still married with this very man. Keep reading for all the details.

Gisele Bündchen Reacts To Divorce From Tom Brady

To begin the ABC segment, titled Impact x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain, Roberts simply asked, "How are you?" after bringing up how the supermodel once referred to her divorce as the "death of a dream." Clearly, this triggered something in Gisele, and she immediately began to tear up.

She began to answer, saying, "Well, when you say..." before trailing off and turning away from the camera, blocking her face from view as she seemingly started to cry. "Sorry, guys. I don't know," she said after a moment. "Can I have a little moment?"

Roberts took the cue to change the subject, and asked about co-parenting their two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11.

"I think there's easier days than others, and I can only control what I do," she said. Seems like their amicable divorce isn't as amicable these days...

Later on, Roberts asked Gisele about her love life: "[Would you] be able to open up your heart again to someone?" she asked.

And with a shy smile, Gisele responded, "Where my heart is now is where I am right now. I'm living my truth, and I'm not apologizing for it." Though she made no mention of her Brazilian boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, many fans were quick to assume this comment was about him, as the pair have faced some heat recently.

Gisele Catches Heat From Fans After Cheating Accusations

Gisele and Joaquim met when Gisele signed her children up for classes at Valente Brothers Academy in 2021. Though at first it was just the kids taking classes, Gisele soon became intrigued. “Initially, I wasn’t even considering it for myself,” she said, according to the Valente Brothers website.

“But when I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim,” she continued, “I realized that it was much more than self-defense. It felt very much in line with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.”

Soon, that developed into a romantic relationship. A source told People, “They started out as friends. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.” Another source revealed that, “They have been dating since June [2022].” Reportedly, “They’re taking it slow. They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.”

But Tom Brady's close friends think otherwise. One source reportedly said, "They should add 2021 after June. Then the headline would be accurate."

And Brady's fans agree. "Dude, she was hooking up with him while married to Brady,” one user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote after the lovebirds were spotted on Valentine's Day. “I hope everyone who blamed Brady admit they were wrong.”
