In a revelation that stunned both the sports world and celebrity circles, NFL legend Tom Brady has admitted that he still holds onto a personal habit intimately connected to his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen — despite a lighthearted warning from Gisele’s current husband, Joaquim Valente.
🧘♂️ The Habit He Just Can’t Quit
During a candid podcast appearance, Brady opened up about how he continues to practice wellness rituals Gisele introduced during their marriage, including meditation, clean eating, and a specific morning yoga-breathing routine.
“I’ve tried to move on in so many ways,” Brady shared. “But there are things Gisele brought into my life that stuck with me. I still do them every single day. And honestly… I can’t quit.”
He singled out the early morning breathing techniques — something Gisele was known for — as now part of his daily identity.
“She taught me the discipline,” Brady added. “Even though we’re not together anymore, I feel like it’s part of who I am now.”
😮 Gisele’s New Husband Weighed In… and Brady Just Laughed
What took fans by surprise was Brady’s mention that Joaquim Valente, Gisele’s current partner, once teased him about clinging to her old rituals.
“Joaquim gave me a hard time,” Brady said with a smile. “He was like, ‘Dude, that’s our thing now, not yours.’ But I just laughed. It works for me. I can’t erase it.”
His light-hearted delivery couldn’t hide the deeper emotions fans read between the lines. Was this about health and routine, or something deeper and more unresolved?
🔥 Fans Divided: Healthy Habit or Emotional Attachment?
Online reactions exploded. Some praised Brady for keeping up a positive lifestyle. Others questioned whether his commitment to Gisele’s methods hinted at something more emotional.
“Imagine your ex still doing everything you taught them — while you’ve moved on,” one fan posted on X.
“She should be proud. Her influence made him a better man,” another argued.
💬 Experts Weigh In
Relationship therapist Dr. Karen Mitchell explained:
“It’s completely normal to carry habits from past relationships. What makes this unique is that Brady is a public figure, and his ex is Gisele — so everything is magnified.”
According to her, it’s not necessarily a sign of lingering emotion — it may simply reflect a deep, lasting impact on his lifestyle.
💔 Tom & Gisele: Still Intertwined
Tom Brady and Gisele finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. While both pledged to focus on co-parenting, the public has remained fascinated by how closely their post-divorce lives remain connected.
Gisele has returned to the modeling world and wellness ventures. Brady has focused on family, business, and stepping back from football. But moments like this reveal just how much their bond — and influence — lingers.
🧠 A Quiet Reminder That Some Habits Hold the Heart
Brady’s admission — that he not only keeps Gisele’s rituals but refuses to let go — feels more emotional than just “staying healthy.”
“I’m not embarrassed about it,” he said. “Some habits make you better. And this one… I can’t quit it. And I don’t want to.”
📝 Conclusion
Tom Brady’s confession didn’t shock fans because it was scandalous — but because it was so human.
Despite the playful warning from Gisele’s new husband, Brady’s quiet loyalty to the wellness rituals they once shared says more than words ever could.
And for millions watching, it’s a reminder: even legends carry pieces of their past — some habits, some lessons, and sometimes… some love.
