"She wound up having a baby 8 months after": Rob Parker sides with Tom Brady, calls out "selfish" Gisele Bündchen for ending marriage with NFL GOAT

Even though it has been more than two years since Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen got divorced, their relationship remains a hot topic among fans and analysts.

On Friday, NFL analyst Rob Parker criticized the Brazilian supermodel for ending her marriage with the New England Patriots Hall of Famer. During "The Odd Couple" radio show, Parker described Bündchen as "selfish."

"I think she was totally selfish," Parker said [02:20]. "I'm with Tom Brady. I don't think they're mutually exclusive, that you could only have one or the other. There are anchor men who worked 40 years, who had to work till six o'clock and eleven for their family and do what they had to do."

Parker suggested that Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen had other issues in their marriage, which they kept private. He said that Brady's decision to unretire for two more seasons with the Buccaneers can't solely be blamed for the couple's broken marriage.

“That's not why they broke up over - one more year of football," Parker added. "They had other issues. She wound up having a baby, like 8 months after they broke up."

Bündchen began dating jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente after the divorce. They welcomed a son in February 2025.

Tom Brady opened up about influence of his football career in becoming a 'great father'

Tom Brady has been open about his fatherhood journey through social media and his "199" newsletter. On Tuesday's edition of his newsletter, Brady talked about how his NFL career indirectly inspired him to become a great father to his kids.

"Being a great football player didn’t make me a great dad," Brady said via TomBrady.com. "But how I became a great player certainly had an impact — from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide."

Brady's son Jack could be following the QB's footsteps to Michigan. Last week, the NFL legend shared a quick glimpse of Jack's basketball practice on his Instagram story. The Michigan men's basketball team was also tagged, hinting at a possible sports career.
