How did Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen celebrate first Valentine's Day apart since divorce?

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were together for Valentine's Day 13 times until their divorce last October. The question is how they spent the holiday without one another for the first time. Brady took to Instagram to post a story with a quote from Sadhguru, a yogi and visionary. The quote spoke of love and how it is defined.

The quote said:

"Love is not a transaction; it is a certain exuberance and sweetness of your emotion."

Bundchen posted several photos of herself with her dogs on Valentine's Day. She posted them on Instagram with a caption expressing her love for them.

The caption said:

"Pure love!! I am convinced they are little angels on Earth. Happy Valentine's Day to all! ❤️❤️❤️ Amor puro!! Tenho certeza que eles são anjinhos na Terra."

The former couple seems to be spending the day in two different ways. Tom Brady retired this NFL offseason for the second time after 23 seasons in the league. However, it was his first retirement ahead of the 2022 season that reportedly caused friction between him and Bundchen.

Was Tom Brady's unretirement the reason for his divorce from Bundchen?

It was reported that the three-time MVP's decision to unretire before the start of the 2022 season played a role in the divorce. According to an insider, they explained that her problem with his choice to play again was not having the time to spend with their children: son Benjamin and daughter Vivian.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star also shares a son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan.

The insider said:

“There’s been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind."

When the divorce was finalized, both released a statement on the matter with no hard feelings on either side.

Brady said:

“In recent days, my wife and I have finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage."

Bundchen said:

“With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce.”

The current focus for Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen is on their children, as the couple has spent time with them through co-parenting.
