One year after calling it quits, Tom Brady and ex-wife Gisele Bündchen are still a united front when it comes to raising their two children.
“Tom and Gisele have navigated their coparenting relationship really well,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They have made a focused effort on putting their kids’ needs first despite things having not worked out for their marriage.”
Brady, 46, and Bündchen, 43, share son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 11. The former New England Patriots quarterback is also the father of son Jack, 16, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Brady has been coparenting with Moynahan, 52, since Jack was born in August 2007, and now, his and Bündchen’s part-time parenting approach appears to be a similar format. (Brady and Moynahan called it quits in late 2006 ahead of Jack’s birth.)
“Their children spend equal amounts of time with both parents which works out great all around,” the insider says of the retired NFL player and Bündchen’s amicable dynamic.
Brady and the model “have very healthy communication between them,” the source tells Us, noting that the former couple “are able to discuss their children’s needs in a really mature way.”
Us confirmed in October 2022 that Brady and Bündchen hired divorce lawyers and were living separately after a few rocky months. Tension reportedly began between the pair after Brady retired from the NFL in February 2022 only to come back for a 23rd season weeks later.
The twosome’s divorce was finalized in October 2022, with Brady noting via Instagram that it was “painful and difficult” to end the marriage after 13 years. Bündchen later denied that her and Brady’s divorce was because of his return to football. (Brady officially retired from the league in early 2023.)
