Tom Brady's Ex-Wife Gisele Bundchen Reacts to His Modeling Debut

Tom Brady can seemingly do it all.

A seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time NFL MVP, and 15-time Pro Bowler, Brady doesn't just excel at football. He's an analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt for Fox's top broadcast team, and he's even been a ratings draw for Netflix with specials like "The Roast of Tom Brady" and "The Roast of Kevin Hart."

And now, Brady's added runway model to his growing list of accomplishments. The 48-year-old Brady made his modeling debut dressed head to toe in black leather on Saturday night at Gucci‘s cruise show in New York City at Times Square.

Brady's runway appearance turned a lot of heads on social media, and it even caught the attention of his ex-wife, Victoria Secret fashion model Gisele Bundchen.

According to British journalist and gossip columnist Rob Shuter, Gisele saw the clips of Brady's appearance and had some thoughts on what she saw from her ex-husband.

"She knows Tom has confidence and charisma, but runway modeling is an actual skill that takes years to master," a source told Shuter. "Her attitude was basically, ‘Good for him for trying.' Most men would never have the confidence to walk a major runway in front of the entire fashion industry."

Shuter pointed out that Gisele's critique was "more supportive than judgmental," and she seemingly thinks Brady could excel as a model if he's willing to put in the time to perfect the craft.

"Tom absolutely has the look for fashion," another source told Shuter. "But if he wants modeling to become part of his next chapter, he's definitely going to need more runway practice."

Brady and Gisele divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They began dating in 2006 and had two children together - son Benjamin, 17, and daughter Vivian, 14.

Gisele has since started romantically involved with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The couple got married in December of last year and welcomed their first child together last February.
