As Tom Brady and Irina Shayk make headlines for spending a weekend at a London hotel together and Brady being Shayk’s “dream guy,” Entertainment Tonight has an update on how Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen feels about his new public romance: She is unbothered.
“[She] isn’t thinking about what Tom is doing in his romantic life,” the source said, noting that instead “she’s focused on their children, co-parenting, and maintaining a good environment for everyone.” Brady and Bündchen have three children together, 13-year-old Benjamin, 10-year-old Vivian, and Jack, Brady’s 16-year-old son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
“Gisele’s main priority is to make sure their kids feel loved and cared for,” the source said. “She wants to set a positive example for them and Gisele is doing her own thing.”
As for Shayk and Brady, a source told Entertainment Tonight that “Irina and Tom are having a great time together [although] it isn’t super serious yet. They are enjoying their relationship [because] Tom is attracted to Irina and she’s very into him.”
Earlier this week, Bündchen shared a sweet birthday tribute to Jack. “Happy birthday Jack!” she wrote. “I can’t believe that you are turning 16! I remember when you were just a little peanut and now you are towering over me. I am so lucky to have you in my life and I will always be here for you no matter what! Love you so much!❤️”
Bündchen spoke about what led to her and Brady’s breakup to Vanity Fair earlier this year, calling their divorce the “death of my dream.”
“Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,” she said of what happened. “When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It’s a dance. It’s a balance.”
“When you love someone, you don’t put them in a jail and say, ‘You have to live this life,’” she continued. “You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly the same direction, then that’s amazing.”
Bündchen and Brady were married for 13 years. Their divorce was filed and finalized in October.
