They were married for 13 years, but after their divorce and her subsequent new romance was the butt of several jokes, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s relationship is seemingly strained after Netflix’s The Roast of Tom Brady.
Comedians Kevin Hart and Jeff Ross took aim at the athlete via his ex-wife in arguably distasteful, sexist, jokes about her dating life and her new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. (As far as we’re concerned, it’s not fair game if she’s not there to defend herself.)

“Tom, you f—cked your coach, but let me tell you something, people…that’s what you’ve got to do to maintain your happiness. You sometimes got to f—ck your coach. You know who else f—cked their coach? Gisele. She f—cked that karate man,” Hart said.
Later, he quipped: “One of the smartest quarterbacks ever played a game. How did you not see this coming? Eight f—cking karate classes a day.…Eight karate classes a day and she’s still a white belt. F—ck Tom. The only bruises she had were on her a—. Everybody should have known it.” Meanwhile, Ross joked: “[Tom has] so many rings he could melt them down and forge a sword to go on a quest to get Gisele back from that jiujitsu teacher.”
According to sources quoted in People, Gisele was “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening’s roast show.” The source added, “As always, [Bündchen’s] priority is to support her children who were affected by the irresponsible content that was broadcasted.”
Now, Brady has feared the special might’ve jeopardized their relationship, especially given that they co-parent their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. “Tom wants to have a good relationship with Gisele,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that the champion athlete doesn’t want things to be “awkward” between them. “He wants them to have closure and be in a good place.”
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and the Victoria’s Secret model filed their divorce papers on October 29, 2022. “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,” he said in a statement shared to social media at the time.
“We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. “We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration. Doing so is, of course painful, and difficult, like it is for so many people who go through the same thing every day around the world. However, we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written. And we kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate in what comes in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you.”
