Gisele Bündchen Honors Joaquim Valente and Her Dad on Father's Day-But Not Tom Brady
Gisele Bündchen is celebrating Father's Day by paying tribute to the dads in her life-with the exception of her ex-husband, Tom Brady.
Bündchen, 45, shared a tribute on Instagram on Sunday, June 21, honoring her husband Joaquim Valente-father of her 1-year-old son-and her own father, Valdir Bündchen.
Noticeably absent was Brady, her former husband of 13 years, with whom she shares two children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13. Bündchen was also stepmother to Brady's son Jack, whose mother is actress Bridget Moynahan.
"Happy Father's Day @joaquimvalente! Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency," the supermodel wrote. "You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much."
"And dad, thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life," she added. "Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. ❤️."
The post featured several pictures of Valente, 38, spending time with their young son and Bündchen's older children with Brady.

In December, Bündchen married the jiu-jitsu instructor surrounded by a small group of family and friends at their house in Surfside, Florida.
Bündchen and Valente were first linked back in November 2022-one month after her divorce from Brady was finalized-after Valente joined the model and her children on a trip to Costa Rica.
Though Bündchen first began training with her now-husband while still married to Brady, she has been adamant that no cheating occurred.
"That is a lie," she said when asked about the affair rumors by the New York Times in March 2024.
