Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback, is making headlines again—but this time, it’s not about football. After a scorching roast on Netflix, where comedians aimed at his personal life, Brady is attempting a different kind of comeback: extending an olive branch to his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, on Mother’s Day.

The Roast Fallout
Netflix’s “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady” featured a barrage of jokes about Brady’s divorce from Bündchen. Comedians Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, and others didn’t hold back, poking fun at their high-profile split and Bündchen’s new relationship with jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente.
Gisele Bündchen’s Disappointment
Bündchen, who shares two children with Brady, reportedly felt “deeply disappointed” by the roast. The disrespectful portrayal of her family hit a nerve, especially considering their “no disparaging remarks” rule regarding each other and their divorce. The timing couldn’t have been worse, as Bündchen was also dealing with family members affected by devastating floods in her home state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Tom Brady’s Apology
In an unexpected turn, Brady reached out to Bündchen to apologize. Their communication remains cordial, focusing solely on their children. The apology acknowledges that some jokes, particularly those related to Bündchen’s new relationship, crossed the line. Despite their divorce, both exes have consistently emphasized their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a respectful relationship.
On Mother’s Day, Brady posted heartfelt messages on social media, including photos of his own mother, Galynn, with their kids. But the most significant gesture was including pictures of both Bündchen and his other ex, Bridget Moynahan, in the tribute. His caption expressed gratitude for the powerful moms in his life, acknowledging that their love made everything possible.
