Gisele Bündchen denies cheating on Tom Brady: “That’s a lie!”

Gisele Bündchen has denied cheating on Tom Brady before their divorce.
The 43-year-old supermodel, who split from 46-year-old NFL player Tom in 2022 after the two married in 2009, is now dating her martial arts instructor Joaquim Valente.
In a new interview with the New York Times to promote her new cookbook, Nourish, Gisele addressed rumors that she cheated on Tom with Joaquim before splitting from the athlete, saying, “That's a lie.”
Gisele added that she hates talking about gossip: “I really don't want to make my life a tabloid. I don't want to expose myself to all that.”
The model also addressed the criticism she faced after she and Tom ended their relationship, saying: “This happens to a lot of women who are blamed for having the courage to end an unhealthy relationship and are accused of being unfaithful people.”
“They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their families.
“For me, of course, it’s just a little bit amplified by chance.
“Nobody really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship.”
In a rare remark about her new relationship, she said: “This is the first time I'm meeting someone who was a friend of mine first.
“It's completely different. It's very honest and very transparent.”
Gisele and Tom filed for divorce on October 28, 2022, and on the same day a court declared their marriage dissolved and “irretrievably broken.”
The couple met in December 2006 on a blind date arranged by mutual friends. Since then, they have had a 13-year-old son, Benjamin, and a 10-year-old daughter, Vivian. Tom is also father to a son, John, with his 52-year-old ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.
Gisele was spotted kissing Joaquim on a Valentine's Day date in Miami, and earlier this month she spoke about her transition to life as a mother with Tom in an interview with radio host Robin Roberts (63).
She said: “I think there are easier days than others, but I find it amazing that the kids… they're super smart kids.
“They know what they can get away with. So I think it's natural that (in our houses) there are different rules and the kids just adapt.”
“And they're going to try to do what they want. And I can only control what I do. And I think for me now it's really about balance.”
