Tom Brady REFUSES To Be 'Blamed' For Gisele Bündchen's Rumored Split From Joaquim Valente - Here's Why!

Tom Brady won’t take the blame for Gisele Bündchen‘s rumored split from Joaquim Valente!

Last week, InTouch Weekly reported that the model had called it quits with her jiu-jitsu trainer boyfriend after about a year of dating. An insider said she blamed the whole thing on the brighter spotlight placed on the couple following her ex-husband’s Netflix roast. And while it is undeniable that Gisele and Joaquim took a beating during the comedy special, Tom doesn’t want anyone blaming him for his ex-wife’s split! Speaking to DailyMail.com on Saturday, an insider slammed the latest reports, insisting:

“Tom feels like he should take no blame for Gisele’s relationship successes or struggles.”

They further explained:

“He is away from it and isn’t trying to sabotage anything. He needs to live his life and coparent and get to a place with Gisele that is healthy and happy. It serves him nothing to try to harm or disrupt any type of relationship she ever has. He doesn’t feel he should be blamed at all.”

He was definitely naive to think his split wouldn’t be a hot topic of the roast, but then again, it’s not like he had control over what his pals said, right? Should this really be considered “sabotage”? Tom doesn’t think so! The source argued:

“At the end of the day, everyone is an adult and you’re going to have to deal with relationships, whether they go good or bad by taking it day by day. You can’t blame others for what might not be working, it is a cop-out to put the blame on Tom.”

The confidant also claimed that the former Victoria’s Secret angel was “stressed” about relationship struggles long before the roast. Apparently, Joaquim had been having issues with her fame for a while. The source noted:

“Gisele has been stressed for a long time trying to make it work with Joaquim, and as time has gone by he has struggled with the attention on them.”

The pair were linked just two weeks after the mother of two’s divorce, and the media attention really hasn’t let up since. The fitness guru might not like being the center of attention, but none of this should be a shocker to him considering who he got involved with! Unfortunately, it sounds like he’s holding it against his partner, the insider explained:

“He expected some — but people talking about how he ruined a marriage and everything else that was mentioned on the Roast has profoundly affected him. There is a strain on the relationship. If they want it back, it will take some time to make work again.”

Hmm. That last bit is pretty similar to InTouch Weekly‘s insight! A source told the outlet:

“The spotlight was too much for him. Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting.”

This is obviously affecting him, but we get why Tom doesn’t want to take the blame, especially if this is an issue about fame in general! If Joaquim can’t stand being in the spotlight or facing some unsavory jabs, he might not be the best fit for Gisele! But despite breakup chatter, the reportedly estranged couple was seen together getting cozy on a walk over the weekend. So, it doesn’t look like they’ve called things off for good yet!
