Tom Brady Showed Great Character With Mother's Day Post For Gisele Bundchen

Co-parenting as a divorced couple is not easy. It's especially hard when you're famous. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are doing it right, though.

The former celebrity couple, which got divorced in 2022, has been maintaining a kind relationship since separating. The two share two children together. Brady has remained single, while Bundchen has re-married - and even had another child, with her partner, Joaquim Valente.

It would be understandable for someone in Brady's position to hold a grudge. Bundchen moved on pretty quickly with her jiu-jitsu trainer, after all. But Brady showed that he can put all of that behind himself, while prioritizing his kids and his relationship with their mother.

Brady posted a loving Mother's Day message for his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, and his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, on social media.

"Happy mother's Day ❤️❤️❤️," he wrote with an image of his ex-wife kissing his son, Jack, on the cheek, next to his mom, Moynahan.

Brady added another kind message: "Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers in this world… ❤️❤️❤️."

It's a great sign that Brady and Bundchen are able to be so cordial, despite having an ugly divorce after a very public 10-year marriage.

Brady and Bundchen are setting a great example for their kids, showing that they can maintain a good relationship despite being separated.

The two announced their divorce in 2022.

"There's a lot of professionals in life that go through things that they deal with at work and they deal with at home," Brady said in 2022. "Obviously the good news is that it's a very amicable situation, and I'm really focused on two things - taking care of my family and certainly my children. And secondly doing the best job I can to win football games.

"That's what professionals do. You focus at work when it's time to work. Then when you come home, you focus on the priorities that are at home. All you can do is the best you could do. That's what I'll just continue to do as long as I'm working and as long as I'm being a dad."
