Bündchen divorced Tom Brady after 13 years
The mother of two released the video to her 20.5 million Instagram followers, four months after parting ways with her ex-husband Tom Brady. After 13 years of marriage, Bundchen and Brady announced their divorce in October 2022. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time spent together,” the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, 45, wrote at the time, adding, “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”
Bundchen left her children, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, at home for this trip but spent a portion of the Christmas holiday season with them in Brazil. Following her breakup with Brady, Bundchen was spotted jogging in Costa Rica in January with jiu-jitsu coach Joaquim Valente.
