Quite a lot of people were shocked when it was revealed that Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente were expecting their first child together. And ex-husband Tom Brady was also among those people!
According to reports, the former New England Patriots quarterback was “stunned” and “upset” when he heard the news, which he was reportedly told about prior to the media finding out about it.
Tom Brady 'Never Imagined' Gisele Bündchen And Joaquim Valente Would Have A Baby Together
The 47-year-old NFL broadcaster, who shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with the 43-year-old Brazilian supermodel, reportedly "never imagined" that his ex-wife would have a baby with the jiu jitsu instructor.
According to an insider, Brady was "stunned" when he heard the news, telling Page Six: "Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim but he never imagined they would be having a child together." They added: "It just wasn't something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least."
This seems to echo what another insider reportedly told the Daily Mail. "Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung," the other insider explained. "There's not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset," the insider continued, before adding: "It was a hard pill to swallow. It was never something he ever thought was going to happen."
Tom Is 'Happy' For Gisele, Insider Says
Despite being initially shocked and "upset" by the news, Page Six's insider went on to say that the seven-time Super Bowl champ is now trying to be happy for his ex-wife, and has accepted that her life doesn't have anything to do with him unless it involves their two children.
"After the initial shock wore off," the source said, Tom has "grown used to the idea and he's happy for Gisele." They added: "At the end of the day, Tom's sole focus is on his children and his career. What Gisele decides to do with her own life is really none of his business."
