Inside Tom Brady’s Thanksgiving plans as NFL hero keeps busy while kids join pregnant ex-wife Gisele Bundchen
Tom Brady will focus on work this Thanksgiving, with his children spending the holiday with pregnant ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and her partner Joaquim Valente.
Brady, 47, went viral this weekend for his so-called shock reaction when he had to work in his role as an analyst for Fox this Thanksgiving.
He is in the first year of a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox and will be in Dallas for the Cowboys game against the New York Giants.
He has two children, son Benjamin and daughter Vivian, with his Brazilian supermodel ex-wife Bundchen and they will be with their mother in Costa Rica during the holidays, according to Page Six.
‘Gisele took the children and left for Costa Rica with Joaquim [Valente] to spend the holidays together,” the publication quoted a source as saying.
“Tom supports me and that’s what he and Gisele agreed to. He will be playing the game for Fox that day and will be busy with his work.

“He still has plenty of time to spend with his children over the holidays.”
It turns out that Bundchen, 44, was expecting a baby with Valente, 37, at the end of October.
Brady is said to be stunned by the news and although he has not commented on it publicly, he posted a cryptic Instagram message around the time the news broke.
‘O mirror in the sky, what is love?’ Brady wrote next to a photo of the setting sun. The words are lyrics from the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Landslide’. The 1975 hit was later covered by The Chicks.
Brady added audio to the story, with users hearing, “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child in my heart rise above it? Can I sail through the changing tides of the ocean?’
Professionally, Brady hasn’t had the easiest time at Fox this season since making his long-awaited write-off in the broadcast booth.
He was criticized by fans for his tone and style in week one, before shockingly saying that Josh Allen had ‘played like a spaz’ in the early days of his career.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner also appeared to violate his exclusive rules of respecting the line between his television responsibilities and his minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

When his Raiders commitment was finally approved this year, Brady was told he can’t criticize the officials’ decisions amid a flurry of other rules and regulations.
But the following weekend, Brady said live on Fox that he disagreed with the decision to remove Brian Branch from the Nov. 3 game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.
“I don’t like that call at all,” Brady said. ‘It is of course a penalty, but for me that has to be a serious intention in a match like this.
Ultimately, the NFL decided not to punish Brady for the comments.
