Tom Brady is active on social media.
After news broke that his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, quietly tied the knot with Joaquim Valente earlier this month, the retired NFL quarterback, 48, shared a series of posts on his Instagram Stories — including a thirst trap.
In one image, Brady showed off his fit figure in a black T-shirt and shorts while holding a football. “LFG [Let’s F—– Go],” he wrote with the snapshot.
In another, Brady shared a selfie of himself wearing a “Forever Young” hoodie. “Yuppppppp💯,” he captioned the casual photo.
Both posts were set to the tune of “1-800-273-8255,” a song by Logic, Alessia Cara and Khalid that is a nod to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Bündchen, 45, and Valente, 38, got married on Dec. 3, according to marriage records reviewed by PEOPLE.
TMZ reported that the Brazilian fashion model and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor wed during a small ceremony at their home in Surfside, Fla.
Brady and Bündchen were married for 13 years before finalizing their divorce in October 2022. Together, they are parents to son Benjamin Rein, 16, and daughter Vivian Lake, 13, and Brady is also a dad to son John “Jack” Edward Thomas with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.
Bündchen and Valente, who began dating in June 2023, welcomed a baby boy together earlier this year. A source close to Gisele previously confirmed her pregnancy to PEOPLE in October 2024.

After Bündchen gave birth to her first baby with Valente, Brady posted on his Instagram Stories, sharing a quote about the “secret to being loved.”
“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,” the quote, attributed to the handle @larissa_raymond, read.
Underneath the statement, Brady wrote, “❤️❤️❤️ Love this.”
Previously, after Bündchen’s pregnancy news was made public, Brady shared an excerpt on his Instagram Stories from Theodore Roosevelt’s 1910 Speech at the Sorbonne about a man who “comes short again and again.”
“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 excerpt began, adding: “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, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds.”
