Gisele Bündchen accused of erasing Tom Brady’s son Jack from her life and focusing on her new family | NFL News
Tom Brady’s recent tribute to his eldest son, Jack, drew warm reactions online — and also shone a light on the different ways blended families handle big moments. Brady filled his feed with praise and photos as Jack turned 18, writing that his heart was “overflowing with happiness and pride.” But Gisele Bündchen, Brady’s ex-wife and a longtime stepmother figure, didn’t post a public birthday message, instead sharing family shots focused on her younger children and new partner. That contrast set off chatter — and it’s worth unpacking beyond the headline.
Not every family milestone plays out on social media: privacy and new priorities
Public figures often navigate competing pressures: celebrate openly to fans or protect private family life. Gisele’s choice to highlight her younger children and recent personal moments suggests a conscious boundary. She posted photos of Benny and Vivi and moments with Joaquim Valente, which coincided with Jack’s birthday timeline. For many parents — celebrities included — shifting priorities after a divorce can mean reframing whose milestones are celebrated publicly.
What this says about blended families, step-parent roles and growing up in the spotlight
Jack, born in 2007, has grown up partly in public and partly out of it. Brady’s visible celebration underscores his role as an involved father; Bündchen’s quieter presence may reflect respect for Jack’s independence as he becomes an adult, or simply her focus on her immediate household. Either way, the episode highlights a broader point: social media silence isn’t always a slight — sometimes it’s a deliberate choice to protect relationships and boundaries. Fans and commentators should be cautious before reading too much into a single Instagram gap.Also Read: “Give up my dream because…”: Gisele Bündchen slams the media and reveals the truth behind split with Tom BradyAt the end of the day, Jack’s 18th birthday is a personal milestone. Brady’s words — “overflowing with happiness and pride” — capture the moment’s emotional core, while the surrounding social-media noise reminds us that public families manage private life in very different ways.
