NFL legend Tom Brady recently posted a thought-provoking message on Instagram, seemingly alluding to his feelings about ex-wife Gisele Bündchen’s unexpected pregnancy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The post featured a powerful quote from Theodore Roosevelt, suggesting resilience and courage in the face of life’s challenges.
The quote reads, “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better… The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.”
Brady’s choice of words continued with Roosevelt’s praise for those who pursue greatness, adding, “Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause… If he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” The post follows reports that Bündchen, 44, and Valente are expecting their first child together. Sources close to Brady, 47, reveal that he was “stunned” by the news, having only recently learned about Bündchen’s pregnancy.
While he was aware that the relationship between Gisele and Joaquim was serious, Brady reportedly didn’t foresee them expanding their family so soon. “Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim, but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” an insider shared, adding, “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned.”
The Roosevelt quote is not the first time Brady has hinted at his emotions on social media. He previously posted cryptic song lyrics—“Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?”—accompanied by a photo of a sunset, leaving fans speculating about his thoughts and feelings amid the recent developments in his family’s dynamic.
According to reports, Brady and Bündchen’s two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, have developed a positive relationship with Valente, who has been living with Bündchen. Sources say that Bündchen is “excited to embrace this new chapter openly” and feels ready to move forward with Valente by her side.
Brady’s introspective post appears to signal his acceptance of change while emphasizing resilience in life’s inevitable ups and downs. The message he shared—about facing challenges head-on, despite setbacks—offers a glimpse into how he may be processing these personal developments. His use of Roosevelt’s words reflects a determination to move forward with strength, focusing on his own journey rather than external judgments.
As Bündchen embarks on a new chapter, Brady’s reflections on social media hint at a commitment to his personal growth, emphasizing the importance of resilience and acceptance in times of change. For fans, his thoughtful message underscores the value of courage, regardless of life’s twists and turns.
