Gisele Bündchen has once again opened up about life after Tom Brady, who she divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage and two children together – son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10. Brady is also the father of 15-year-old Jack, from his prior relationship with ex Bridget Moynahan.

The 43-year-old Brazilian supermodel hasn’t confirmed whether or not she has moved on, although rumors are rife that she is dating Valente Brothers co-creator and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The 46-year-old seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback has been linked to several women since the divorce was finalized, including Reese Witherspoon and Kim Kardashian; however, the rumors that he and 37-year-old Russian supermodel Irina Shayk are dating don’t seem to be going away!

While Gisele has kept a dignified silence over her ex-husband's potential new romance, an insider told Us Weekly that she's "happy he’s moved on because she has too," without directly confirming the name of her new beau. The insider added: "She knew he would be dating at some point and really isn’t concerned one way or another."

The former Victoria's Secret Angel may not have discussed her ex's rumored new flame, but she did tell Vogue Brasil in her cover interview that she has grown a lot since the divorce, and is learning to focus on herself. She told the fashion bible that although breakups are "never easy," she always looks for the silver lining, not just in this current situation but in every situation that presents itself.

Gisele Bündchen Opens Up To 'Vogue Brasil' About Tom Brady Divorce

"I’ve always believed that every situation, no matter how challenging, teaches us something and helps us grow," she explained. "Breakups are never easy, especially when the media is speculating every step of the way," she confessed, adding that she just tries to focus on what's important to her, saying, "I tried to focus on my children, my health and my projects and dreams."

Seems like Gisele is doing a great job of it too, as she recently celebrated her 43rd birthday with her twin sister Patricia on a boat trip, and has been going on some great vacations too, including a trip to South America with her children which even saw her sing karaoke with her daughter Vivian. Wow!

Gisele Is Reportedly 'Super Charged About Her Career'

This seems consistent with what insiders said about Gisele at the start of the year. A source told People back in January that the model "is super charged about her career in the next few months," adding, "She is busy making decisions and feels happy and more settled than she has in a long time."

The insider went on to say that she "feels a sense of renewal with newfound energy and a happy future outlook." They added: "Her life was in flux for so long and now it is more settled. She is optimistic."
