Tom Brady once again drew public attention with a social media post that many interpreted as an indirect reaction to the recent wedding of his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen. The former quarterback shared a cryptic message just days after the Brazilian supermodel married Joaquim Valente.
Before taking his seat in the FOX Sports booth alongside Kevin Burkhardt at Soldier Field, Brady turned to Instagram to share glimpses of his routine. The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted two Instagram stories. In one, he held a football with the text “LFG” (“let’s go!!”). In the other, he appeared in a selfie wearing a hoodie from his Forever Young clothing brand. The caption was brief and pointed: “Yuppppppp.”
Social media, music, and open signals
According to information from Firstsportz, the detail that caught the most attention was the song Brady chose to accompany the images. He selected “1-800-273-8255,” a track released in 2017 by Logic. That number corresponds to the U.S. suicide prevention hotline, a choice that immediately sparked multiple interpretations among fans and media outlets.
The posts surfaced shortly after news broke that Bündchen married Valente in a private ceremony in Florida on December 3, 2025. The couple had officially confirmed their relationship in September 2023, nearly a year after the highly publicized divorce between Bündchen and Brady, which ended their 13-year marriage.

Some reports placed the beginning of the relationship between the former supermodel and her jiu-jitsu instructor as early as July 2023. That timeline generated criticism toward Bündchen at the time. She later addressed the situation in a 2024 interview with The New York Times, where she clarified her position and spoke about the emotional impact of Brady’s decision to return to football after announcing his retirement before the 2022 NFL season.
Bündchen explained that she wanted Brady to leave the NFL and prioritize family life. That decision, according to her words, deeply hurt her. “This is something that happens to many women who are blamed when they [have the courage] to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as unfaithful,” she said. “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their families. Of course, for me, it’s just a little amplified.”
In early 2024, paparazzi photographed Bündchen and Valente holding hands in a Miami parking garage. Shortly afterward, she moved in with him after purchasing an $11.5 million mansion in Surfside, Florida. According to The Independent, the couple welcomed a child in February 2025. Bündchen also shares two children with Brady: Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13.
