Gisele Bundchen DENIES cheating on NFL star ex Tom Brady as the Victoria’s Secret model brands allegation a ‘lie’: ‘This is something that happens to a lot of women’

Gisele Bundchen denied cheating on her ex-NFL star husband Tom Brady ahead of their divorce in 2022.

The Brazilian supermodel, 43, and the seven-time Super Bowl winner, 46, announced their separation after 13 years of marriage in October 2022.

The former Victoria’s Secret model has since started dating her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, sparking rumors that she cheated on Brady with the trainer while still married to the former quarterback.

But Bundchen, who shares two children with Brady, responded to the speculation and ardently denied the cheating rumors in an interview with The New York Times.

He called the accusation that he cheated a “lie” before stating that he doesn’t “want to make a tabloid out of my life.”

While she refutes the rumors, the Brazilian beauty suggested they are due to sexism, suggesting that women suffer more during breakups than their male partners.

“This is something that happens to many women who are blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as unfaithful,” . Bündchen told the outlet.

‘They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course, for me, it turns out that it’s a little bit amped up.”

The couple confirmed their separation on October 28, 2022 after weeks of speculation that their marriage was on the brink of collapse.

Brady announced he would retire from the NFL in February of that year, only to turn around 40 days later and do a 180-degree turn on his decision.

Many claimed Bundchen was furious over Brady’s shocking decision to “retire” from the NFL, just a month after he left football to spend more time with his family.

The former Victoria’s Secret model began dating jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

However, a source confirmed to DailyMail.com at the time of the split that their split had not been affected by Brady’s decision to rejoin his beloved sport.

Brady officially hung up his cleats, for the second time, in February of last year, after an incredible 23-season career.

The future Hall of Famer said the divorce had been a “difficult” and “painful” decision that the couple made after “much consideration.”

They both said they would continue to co-parent their two children together. The couple are expected to share custody of his two children, Vivian, nine, and Benjamin, 12. Tom also has a third son, Jack, 15, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

A source told DailyMail.com earlier this month that Brady has no issues with Valente, who was first photographed vacationing in Costa Rica with Bundchen in November 2022, just two weeks after their divorce was finalized.

Meanwhile, Brady has also been seen dating new women, including Bundchen’s former Victoria’s Secret model Irina Shayk.

The Russian-born supermodel, who previously dated soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and actor Bradley Cooper, is said to be enjoying an on-off romance with the retired NFL legend.
