    Gisele Bundchen is living the "life she dreamed of"

    The 45-year-old model was married to sports star Tom Brady between 2009 and 2022 - but Gisele now prefers to live a quiet life with Joaquim Valente, whom she married in 2025.


    A source told Us Weekly: "Gisele's life now is much more private. It's more in line with who she is. It's a life she dreamed of."

    Gisele - who has Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with Tom, as well as a 12-month-old child with Joaquim - has found a sense of "peace" since marrying the jiu-jitsu trainer.

    A second source explained: "She always envisioned this slower-paced lifestyle for herself and her children, surrounded by nature and removed from 'the business.' She's at peace."

    Tom is also enjoying where he's currently at in life, following his split from Gisele.

    A source close to the former sports star shared: "Tom is genuinely enjoying this chapter. He sees himself as a single dad who finally has some freedom and is enjoying his life without overthinking it."

    Tom and Gisele announced their split in 2022, and the NFL star previously insisted that his children would be his number one priority moving forwards.

    He wrote on Instagram at the time: "In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. 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. (sic)"

    Meanwhile, Gisele explained that the celebrity duo had simply "grown apart".

    The blonde beauty said: "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."
