"It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least."

They added: "At the end of the day, Tom’s sole focus is on his children and his career. What Gisele decides to do with her own life is really none of his business."

Shortly after news initially broke, it was revealed Bündchen's pregnancy was unexpected — and Brady and their kids were the first to be informed of the shocking update.

On Tuesday, Brady's eyebrow-raising post to his Instagram Stories had some fans suspecting he was possibly alluding to his ex's update.

He shared a photo of a sunset accompanied by the Fleetwood Mac hit Landslide, adding in text of lyrics that read: "Oh mirror in the sky, what is love / Can the child inside my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?"

Coincidentally Stevie Nicks, who wrote the song, has admitted the lyrics were inspired by her toxic romance with guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and their career struggles.

Brady offered no further on the post and whether or not it pertained to his ex's romance with Valente.

The famous model denies the two were romantically involved at the time.

She told the New York Times of her relationship with Valente: "This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent."

On her pregnancy reveal, a source close to Bündchen said: "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family."

Bündchen and Valente started dating a year and a half after meeting in December 2021, when she sought jiu-jitsu training for her son and chose to take classes herself.
