Tom Brady puts on a happy face as he attends the star-studded Fanatics event… after ex Gisele Bundchen revealed she was ‘just surviving’ before the couple’s shocking split

Tom Brady flashed a bright smile as he attended the star-studded Fanatics and Topps ‘Hobby Rip Night’ event in Linwood, New Jersey on Saturday.

The former NFL star, 46 — who recently joined Drake on stage at his Friday night concert in South Beach — appeared to be in good spirits shortly after his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen, claimed she was “just surviving” before their shock dissipated.

The former couple was married from 2009 until the couple announced their divorce in October 2022. They share children – Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13 – while Brady also has an older son, Jack, 15, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

Tom opted for casual comfort during the festivities and was seen wearing a plain white hooded sweatshirt and classic jeans.

The retired professional footballer – who revealed he has lost 10 pounds since retiring – later removed the hoodie to reveal he was wearing a plain white T-shirt underneath.

As he strolled through the crowded venue among fans, Brady threw on a pair of black sunglasses to complete his look for the day.

Rapper Travis Scott – who previously dated Kylie Jenner – was also spotted at the event on Saturday, wearing a black graphic short-sleeved shirt and gray trousers.

He was seen joining Brady and other stars in attendance, such as comedian Kevin Hart.

The Me Time actor opted for casual comfort by wearing a pair of dark blue sweatpants from 2003, as well as a navy blue and white colored hooded sweatshirt.

Michael Rubin – the CEO of Fanatics, the world’s largest supplier of licensed sports merchandise – was also spotted among the crowd, wearing a black long-sleeved printed shirt.

Tom’s visit to the Fanatics event comes shortly after his ex-wife and supermodel Gisele opened up CBS News Sunday morning earlier this month and commented on her marriage to the former NFL star.

The Brazilian-born supermodel revealed she was “just surviving” before divorcing Brady — and “alive now” during the candid interview.

The star said she has happily entered a new era of her life and explained how the pair ‘grew apart’ before their split – saying: ‘I think before I was more surviving, and now I’m living, which is different.’

Gisele took a step back from modeling to raise the couple’s children and has now returned to the world of haute couture.

Brady sent shockwaves around the world when he first announced his retirement in 2022 — a decision he would reverse just weeks later — which reportedly irked his now ex-wife.

Rumors swirled that Bundchen was concerned about the sport’s impact on Brady’s health, reportedly giving him an ultimatum to retire or their marriage would end. In February 2023, he announced his retirement for the second and final time.

On the decision to divorce, the star said: ‘I think this is not what I dreamed of and hoped for. My parents have been married for fifty years and I really wanted that.’

“But I think you have to accept that sometimes you know that in your twenties, sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart….”

“I mean, he’s the father of my kids, so I always wish him the best, and I’m so grateful that he gave me great kids.”

Bundchen was also excited about living in Miami with her children — a move she made in 2020 when Tom joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

‘It was fun. It’s nice to be outside,” she told her People in an article published Saturday.

The model explained that being in nature is her “best wellness treatment,” adding, “Just feeling the sun, taking a dip in the ocean, running on the sand and feeling the grass on my feet.”

‘Just being in nature gives you energy. It just makes you feel good.” She also said: ‘I love the sun. (Where) the sun is, I always feel the happiest.’

‘The sun just makes you feel good. People say, “Oh, it’s so hot,” but I say, “I love it.” I like the heat.’

Her ex-husband also still lives in Miami and was recently spotted briefly with rapper Drake during his South Beach concert stop at the Kaseya Center on Friday.

The One Dance hitmaker could be heard addressing the crowd: ‘Hey Miami, I got the real GOAT! I have the real GOAT!’ Brady and Drake also shared a quick hug before the hitmaker began his performance for the crowd.
