Tom Brady kicked off his Christmas Eve celebrations by golfing with son Jack — weeks after ex-wife Gisele Bündchen‘s secret wedding to Joaquim Valente.
Brady, 48, took to Instagram on Wednesday, December 24, to share photos of him and his 18-year-old son, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, at the Bakers Bay Golf and Ocean Club in the Bahamas. The former NFL quarterback, who also shares son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with Bündchen, 45, took his shirt off as he enjoyed the holiday outing with his eldest.
“Merry Xmas eve,” Brady captioned a post of his getaway.
Us Weekly confirmed earlier this month that Bündchen and Valente, 38, are officially married. The couple started dating nearly a year after Bündchen and Brady got divorced. The supermodel and Valente later welcomed their first child together, a baby boy whose name has not been publicly revealed, in February.
“This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” Bündchen told The New York Times in March 2024 about her relationship with Valente. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
At the time, Bündchen clarified that she started dating Valente after her marriage to Brady came to an end, adding, “That is a lie. This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful.”
She continued: “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
Brady originally made headlines for his personal life when he dated Moynahan, 54, for more than two years before they called it quits in 2006. Brady moved on with Bündchen and two months later, Moynahan learned she was pregnant. Moynahan gave birth to Jack in 2007.
Brady continued to coparent with Moynahan while expanding his family with Bündchen. After 13 years of marriage, the pair announced their decision to part ways in 2022.
“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,” Brady wrote via Instagram at the time.
Bündchen for her part, noted at the time that she was looking forward to coparenting with Brady, writing, “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.”
More recently, Brady reflected on his hopes while raising his kids.
“There’s definitely some challenges and there’s a lot of blessings, and I think just us as parents, we’re just trying to help them navigate a little bit,” Brady exclusively told Us in 2024. “There’s a lot of cool things, a lot of things that are maybe a little tricky, but you just got to deal with it all in the best way you can.”
He added: “I think giving them perspective all the time is really important. They’re kids, so we’re all human. We’re all going through stuff, so they’re going through their own set of unique experiences and you just try to give them the right perspective on the things that you’ve experienced and that you can correlate to their life.”
