Tom Brady is well-known for his heartfelt messages to his loved ones, and this past Mother’s Day was no exception. The celebrated seven-time Super Bowl champion took to social media to pay tribute to his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, praising her parenting skills and expressing appreciation for the nurturing mother she has been to their kids.
However, a few weeks later on Father’s Day, many found it surprising that Bundchen chose not to make any public acknowledgment of Brady.
While it’s not unusual for public figures to keep their feelings private, fans were quick to observe this contrast. Brady’s Mother’s Day tribute included affectionate descriptions like “strong,” “compassionate,” and “incredible,” shining a light on Bundchen’s significant role in their children’s upbringing, Benjamin and Vivian. Given such a touching display, many expected a similar gesture in return.
In contrast, Bundchen did not share anything on her social media to mark Father’s Day, leaving her followers in a state of confusion and some even feeling upset.
Absence of acknowledgment prompts speculation
The media took note of the silence as well. Publications such as The Sun and Newsweek picked up on the idea that Bundchen’s lack of a post about Brady could indicate lingering issues or a desire to keep matters personal. Nevertheless, given Brady’s earlier kind message, the absence of any response left many fans dissatisfied.
Social media users quickly took to the comments, suggesting that the difference in the way each parent celebrated the other might reveal deeper separations than initially perceived. Others guessed that Bundchen might be establishing clearer boundaries as she navigates her life away from the NFL star.
Additionally, Brady has made efforts to maintain a positive public image. On Father’s Day, he paid tribute to his father, Tom Brady Sr, highlighting themes of gratitude, legacy, and love, demonstrating that fatherhood remains a priority for him.
“It’s crucial to honor those who have influenced us,” Brady expressed. “No one has impacted me more than my dad.”
In contrast, Bundchen‘s most recent significant family-related post celebrated their daughter Vivian’s birthday and depicted their new family dynamics as she continues her relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente, with whom she now has a child.
Although neither Tom Brady nor Bundchen have addressed the ongoing speculation publicly, their silence has sparked ongoing discussions about co-parenting in the spotlight.
