Tom Brady Wife: Is He Married After the Gisele Divorce?
Tom Brady does not have a wife in 2026 — the seven-time Super Bowl champion is unmarried, four years after his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen was finalized in October 2022. The couple, who had been married for 13 years and share two children, announced their split with matching statements saying they had "grown apart." Since then, Bündchen has moved on entirely: she married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in December 2025 and welcomed a baby boy in February 2025.
Brady, 49, has been the subject of persistent dating rumors — media reports have linked him to model Irina Shayk and social media personality Alix Earle — but as of October 2026 he has not remarried and has no wife. His post-divorce life has been defined instead by a second act as Fox Sports' lead NFL analyst under a landmark 10-year, $375 million contract, a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, and co-parenting his three children.

The Marriage: 13 Years with Gisele Bündchen
Brady and Bündchen met on a blind date in December 2006 and were officially dating by January 2007. He proposed in January 2009 with a solitaire diamond ring, and they married a month later in an intimate California ceremony, followed by a second wedding in Bündchen's native Costa Rica that April.
The marriage produced two children: Benjamin Rein, born December 2009 (now 16), and Vivian Lake, born December 2012 (now 13). Brady also has an older son, John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan, born August 2007 (now 19), from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
According to reporting around their divorce, the central strain was Brady's unwillingness to retire. He announced retirement in February 2022, reversed course 40 days later, and returned for another NFL season. A new biography by Lars Anderson, Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness (released September 29, 2026), reveals that Bündchen made a desperate handwritten "plea" days before the divorce asking him to commit more to the family — and that, in summer 2022, Brady had requested an extended leave from Buccaneers training camp to try to repair the marriage privately in the Bahamas.
On October 28, 2022, they filed for divorce. "In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage," Brady announced. "We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together." Bündchen added that they had "grown apart." Brady finally retired "for good" in February 2023 after 23 NFL seasons.
Where Gisele Is Now
Four years on, Bündchen has fully rebuilt her life. She began dating jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in the summer of 2023, welcomed a baby boy in February 2025, and secretly married Valente in December 2025. A People source said in October 2026 that Bündchen "always thought she would be married to Tom for the rest of her life," found the divorce "very upsetting," but is "not bitter" and feels "grateful for their children and the years they shared."
Tom Brady's Dating Life Since the Divorce
Brady has kept his romantic life deliberately low-key, but he has been linked in media reports to two women in particular:
- Irina Shayk — the Russian supermodel was photographed with Brady on multiple occasions in 2023, sparking months of speculation, though neither confirmed a relationship.
- Alix Earle — the social media personality and podcaster was linked to Brady in 2025 reports, which she largely deflected.
Neither relationship was ever confirmed publicly, and no engagement or marriage has been reported. Brady's public focus has been his broadcasting career, his business ventures (including the TB12 wellness brand and a minority stake in Birmingham City football club alongside his Raiders ownership), and his children.
Life After Football: The Fox Sports Era
Brady's post-playing fortune is estimated at $350 million in 2026, according to Parade — built on roughly $333 million in career NFL salary, endorsement deals, and a broadcasting contract that pays him $37.5 million a year as Fox Sports' lead NFL analyst, a role he began in 2024. In October 2024, NFL owners approved his purchase of a 5% ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders alongside investment partner Tom Wagner.
On the field, his legacy is unassailable: seven Super Bowl titles (six with the New England Patriots, one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), five Super Bowl MVPs, three NFL MVPs, and the league records for passing yards and quarterback wins.
