Gisele Bundchen DENIES NFL star ex Tom Brady's cheating accusation is a 'lie': 'It's something that happens to a lot of women'

Gisele Bundchen has denied cheating on her ex-husband Tom Brady, an NFL star, before their 2022 divorce.

The Brazilian supermodel, 43, and the seven-time Super Bowl winner, 46, announced their split in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

The former Victoria's Secret model has since started dating her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, sparking rumors that she cheated on Brady with the trainer while she was still married to the former quarterback.

But Bundchen, who shares two children with Brady, hit back at the speculation and fervently denied the cheating rumors in an interview with The New York Times.

She labeled the cheating accusation a “lie” before claiming she “doesn't want to turn my life into a tabloid.”

Although she refuted the rumors, the Brazilian beauty suggested that they stem from sexism, suggesting that women suffer more during breakups than their male partners.

“This is something that happens to many women who are blamed for having the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and labeled as unfaithful.” Bundchen told the outlet.

“They have to interact with their community. They have to deal with their family. For me, of course, it's just been a little bit amplified.”

The couple confirmed their divorce on October 28, 2022 after weeks of speculation that their marriage was on the verge of collapse.

Brady announced he was retiring from the NFL in February of that year, only to turn around and reverse the decision 40 days later.

Many claimed Bundchen was furious over Brady's shocking decision to “retire” from the NFL – just a month after giving up football to spend more time with his family.

However, a source confirmed to DailyMail.com at the time of the split that their separation was not affected by Brady's decision to return to his beloved sport.

Brady officially hung up his boots last February for the second time after an incredible 23-season career.

The future Hall of Famer said the divorce had been a “difficult” and “painful” decision the couple made after “much thought.”

Both said they would continue to co-parent their two children together. The couple are expected to share custody of their two children, Vivian, nine, and Benjamin, 12. Tom also has a third son, 15-year-old son Jack, with ex Bridget Moynahan.

A source told DailyMail.com earlier this month that Brady has no issues with Valente, who was first pictured vacationing in Costa Rica with Bundchen in November 2022, just two weeks after her divorce was finalized.

Meanwhile, Brady has also been spotted stepping out with new women, including Bundchen's former Victoria's Secret model, Irina Shayk.

The Russian-born supermodel, who previously dated football star Cristiano Ronaldo and actor Bradley Cooper, is said to enjoy an on-and-off romance with the retired NFL legend.
