Tom Brady shared a poignant message to about ex-wife Gisele Bundchen on her first Mother’s Day since having a baby her new lover, Joaquim Valente.
The seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, 47, first shared a post on Instagram paying tribute to his own mother, Galynn.
He wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day to the strongest and most inspiring woman I know. Your love is the foundation of our family! You’ve faced life’s toughest challenges with grace and determination, still always putting us first.
‘Thank you for being our rock and an example for your kids and grandkids. We’re endlessly grateful for everything you’ve done and everything you continue to be. We love you more than words can say.’
Then, on his Instagram story, Brady shared more pictures that included ex-wife Gisele – mother of two of his kids – and former partner Bridget Moynahan, who he has a son, Jack, with.
‘Happy Mothers Day to all the incredibly moms I’m so lucky to have in my life,’ Brady wrote.

Brady and Brazilian model Bundchen divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and two children, Benjamin and Vivian together.
Bundchen is now in a relationship with Valente, who was her jiu-jitsu instrcutor, and she welcomed a baby boy with him earlier this year at the age of 44.
It comes amid Brady expressing his regret at participating in last year’s ‘Netflix Roast’, where he was targeted ruthlessly due to how his relationship with Bundchen ended.
Speaking on the Impaulsive podcast, Brady said he was heartbroken by the reaction his kids had to it.
‘It was tough on my kids for sure,’ Brady said. ‘You don’t know what to expect and I love laughing at myself, it felt like I was in the locker room. And the harder people go at me, I’ll actually love it.
‘If people make fun of you, then I know I’m good with them. And I don’t take myself too serious but I do understand that for my kids, that was really hard.’
Brady then turned somber as he added: ‘There are some things as a parent you f*** up and you don’t realize until after.
‘We’re not perfect parents. There’s no perfect manual for it and you have to evaluate yourself as a parent too all the time.

Gisele was said to be unimpressed with the tone of the show and the impact on their children
‘So even though I really enjoyed the show and the performances were incredible – and when you were in that moment, in that theatre that night at the Forum (in Los Angeles), it was electric. It was crazy.

‘We got done and everybody was on cloud nine. And that moment I’ll never forget. And I’ll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day, and I felt like a stake through the heart – and understandably.
‘They’re protective of their mom, of their dad, of everybody. “What was the point of that? Why did you do that?”. You live and you learn.’
Daily Mail reported last year in the days after the roast that Gisele, 44, was unhappy at being targeted during the show.
‘How much would it suck for Tom… just knowing your ex-wife’s new boyfriend could beat your a** while eating hers,’ comedian Nikki Glaser joked during the live broadcast at the Kia Forum last June.
Nikki’s other jabs included: ‘Tom, the only thing dumber than you saying “yes” to this roast was when you said, “Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu.”‘
Nikki added, ‘You have seven rings… well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back.’
