Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have moved on with their lives. The pair remains two of the most notorious figures in the entertainment world, with Brady being one of the biggest athletes in the world, and Bündchen changing the world of modeling. In a new report, it seems like the pair are focused on their lives apart, only connecting when it comes to parenting their kids.

Tom Brady and Bundchen have been divorced for a few years

Brady and Bündchen share two kids: Ben, 16, and Vivian, 13. According to new reports, the pair has limited their dynamic to their kids only. “Tom and Gisele only communicate when it comes to the kids,” said a source to US Weekly. 

“The dust has settled, but he tries not to meddle in her personal life. He hears things from the kids here and there, but tries to stay neutral. They have a good coparenting schedule."

A separate source claims that the pair share some friends in common, but that Bündchen has preferred to keep some distance from them.“Tom and Gisele shared some mutual friends from the time they were married, but she doesn’t really socialize with them anymore. Her life has really changed,” they said.

Bundchen has moved on with Joaquim Valente, with whom he shares a child

“They share children and will always have that connection, but the divorce was not easy for either of them.”  

Ever since their divorce, which was finalized in 2022, the pair have been romantically linked with other people and have continued their lives and careers, with Bündchen remaining in Miami with her new husband, Joaquim Valente, and continuing to work on different fashion and modeling projects. In the case of Brady, he remains a prominent figure in the sporting world, becoming a sports commentator for Fox News. He's been linked romantically with different women, including Alix Earle and Irina Shayk

“Gisele doesn’t care about who Tom’s dating,” continues the source. “She’s all about letting go. As long as Tom’s making the kids a priority when he has them, she’s not concerned.”

Bündchen discusses the challenges of coparenting

Following her divorce, Bündchen has opened up about raising her kids and the challenges of raising two kids in different households. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she shared that it's very important to her to teach her kids to do their chores and keep their rooms tidy. "The way you make your room, the way you organize and make your bed is the way you’re going to do your life," she said."If you’re not learning here and now, then when and with who?" 

"Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they’re in two different homes, and there are two different ways," she said. "But I feel like I owe it to my kids because of what my mom taught me.”
