Tom Brady’s Cryptic Message on Love Sparks Buzz Amid Gisele’s Baby News

Tom Brady has once again stirred speculation with a mysterious message about love, just one day after news broke that Gisele Bündchen welcomed her first child with boyfriend Joaquin Valente. The retired NFL legend took to Instagram to share a thought-provoking quote, leaving fans wondering about its deeper meaning.

Tom Brady’s Cryptic Post on Love

On February 6, Brady reposted a quote that read:

“I really think the secret to being loved is to love. And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to have others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend.”

Alongside the quote, Brady added three heart emojis and the caption: “Love this.” The timing of the post couldn’t be more interesting, as it came just a day after reports confirmed that Gisele and her martial arts instructor boyfriend welcomed their first baby together.

Brady, who was spotted in New Orleans alongside Michael Strahan ahead of Super Bowl 2025, has yet to directly comment on Gisele’s growing family. However, this isn’t the first time his social media activity has coincided with major events in his ex-wife’s life.

A History of Cryptic Messages Amid Gisele’s Milestones

Brady and Gisele finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Since then, the seven-time Super Bowl champion has occasionally shared thought-provoking messages that fans believe might be subtle responses to Gisele’s personal life.

For example, in November 2023, shortly after Gisele announced her pregnancy, Brady shared another quote—this time about overcoming criticism and failure.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again,” the quote read.

The message continued, emphasizing the importance of perseverance:

“There is no effort without error and shortcoming… At the best, he knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.”

Fans were quick to speculate whether this was Brady’s way of addressing Gisele’s pregnancy news—especially since he did not publicly comment on it.

Tom Brady and His Love for Philosophical Quotes

Brady’s pattern of posting deep, introspective quotes has been ongoing for years. In March 2023, a day after Gisele’s tell-all interview with Vanity Fair, he shared a famous Ralph Waldo Emerson quote about success.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or esteemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”

Whether or not these posts are subtle messages to his ex-wife, Brady continues to keep fans guessing.

What’s Next for Tom Brady?

As Brady navigates life after NFL retirement, he remains active in sports media, business ventures, and of course, co-parenting his two children with Gisele—Benjamin (14) and Vivian (11).

With Super Bowl 2025 just around the corner and speculation about his future projects, fans are eager to see what’s next for the legendary quarterback.

But one thing is clear—Tom Brady’s cryptic Instagram posts aren’t stopping anytime soon!
