Gisele Bündchen recently opened up about the importance of making positive daily choices, sharing a personal message with her followers as she embarks on a new chapter following the announcement of her pregnancy and her high-profile divorce from Tom Brady.
On November 21, the Brazilian supermodel shared a serene photo of herself sitting on a dock, holding a cup with her eyes closed and her face turned toward the sky. In the caption, Bündchen encouraged her followers to embrace the power of choice in shaping their lives.
“There’s no guide to life, no perfect roadmap to follow. But remember everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to,” Bündchen wrote.
A New Beginning for Gisele and Joaquim Valente
Bündchen, 44, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, whom she began dating in June 2023. This comes roughly seven months after her divorce from the former NFL superstar was finalized.
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told People magazine.
This new addition to Bündchen’s family will join her two children with Brady—14-year-old son Benjamin Rein and 11-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. Brady also has a 17-year-old son, John Edward Thomas, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Reflecting on the Past: Divorce and Gratitude
Bündchen and Brady’s 13-year marriage officially ended on October 28, 2022. The former couple announced the news in heartfelt Instagram posts that expressed mutual respect and a shared commitment to co-parenting.
“In recent days my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage,” Brady wrote at the time. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
Bündchen echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing their shared respect despite growing apart. “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always,” she wrote.
Gisele’s Message of Empowerment
Bündchen’s Instagram post highlights her focus on self-care and intentional living as she embraces a new chapter in life. “Each day presents the opportunity to choose habits that nourish your body, uplift your spirit, and guide you toward the life you truly want to live,” she concluded in her inspiring message.
As Bündchen prepares to welcome her new baby with Valente, her words serve as a reminder of the transformative power of choice and the resilience needed to navigate life’s unexpected turns.
