Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Page Six exclusively revealed the two stars hired their own divorce lawyers — just one month after sources told us they had an “epic fight” about Brady’s decision to “un-retire” from the NFL.
Following the spat, the two had been living separately down in Florida as Bündchen made up her mind about the future of their marriage.

“I don’t think there will be any coming back now,” one insider told us prior to the divorce filing. “They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be.”
Here’s a look back at some of the other men that Bündchen dated before she settled down with the NFL star.
João Paulo Diniz
Bündchen dated businessman João Paulo Diniz for a few months in 1999, around the same time she won the VH1 Vogue Model of the Year award.
The supermodel was only 19 years old when she started dating Diniz, who was 17 years her senior. He died on July 31, 2022.
Scott Barnhill
Bündchen dated fellow model Scott Barnhill in 1999, with the pair even shooting for Vogue together.
Although they called it quits after a few short months, Barnhill still has nothing but love for the mother of two.
“She’s always known what she wanted. I wish the best for her,” he told NY Daily News last month.
Rico Mansur
Brazilian polo player Rico Mansur was so mesmerized by Bündchen when they met in 2002 that he called off his engagement to model Isabella Fiorentino to chase her.
He and Bündchen started dating shortly after but they called it quits after just six months of dating.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Prior to marrying Brady, Bündchen’s longest relationship was with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The supermodel and Academy Award-winning actor dated from 1999 to 2005.
Although both parties claim the split was amicable, the supermodel says she was struggling with anxiety at the time and needed to change her lifestyle.
“I didn’t feel like I could share my panic attacks with anyone,” she told Porter Magazine in 2019.
She went on to cut out all of her unhealthy habits that were triggering her anxiety, such as smoking, drinking, and overworking — only to realize she needed to cut out DiCaprio too.
“Everyone who crosses our path is a teacher; they come into our lives to show us something about ourselves,” she told People at the time. “And I think that’s what he was. What is good versus bad? I honor him for what he was.”
Kelly Slater
Shortly after her split with DiCaprio, Bündchen started dating professional surfer Kelly Slater.
The pair lasted until early 2006 before they decided to go their separate ways.
Josh Hartnett
Following her short-lived romance with Slater, the Victoria’s Secret model was spotted making out with actor Josh Hartnett in New York City.
At the time, Hartnett had also just gotten out of a relationship with Scarlett Johansson.
However, the spark quickly fizzled out and they split in late 2006.
Tom Brady
Bündchen and Brady were set up on a blind date in 2006 and according to the supermodel, it was love at first sight.
“The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, ‘That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!’” she recalled to Vanity Fair in March 2009, adding that she “knew right away” he was the one.
The pair got engaged three years later and tied the knot in an intimate ceremony just weeks after the NFL star popped the question.
The power couple share two children, son Benjamin, daughter Vivian. Bündchen is also a stepparent to Brady’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, Jack.
Although Bündchen and Brady seemed to be the picture-perfect couple, they hit a rough patch in their marriage when the NFL player decided to “un-retire” from the “violent” sport.
In 2022, the supermodel expressed her frustrations in an interview with Elle magazine, saying she felt like he wasn’t spending enough time with their kids.
“This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” she said, adding that she has “definitely had those conversations with him over and over again.”
They officially called it quits in October that same year.
Joaquim Valente
One month after finalizing her divorce, Bündchen enjoyed a dinner date in Costa Rica with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
The duo have made headlines over the years, from a Dust magazine shoot in 2021 to a training session the following year.
In February 2024, Page Six exclusively reported that Bündchen and Valente were “deeply in love” and were seen locking lips on Valentine’s Day in their Miami neighborhood.
Eight months later, People reported that the pair were expecting their first child together. News of the model’s third pregnancy came exactly two years after she and Brady announced that their divorce had been finalized.
