Gisele Bündchen, Joaquim Valente Split Following Roast Backlash
The new couple was the subject of several jokes. Apparently, it was too much to recover from as the couple has reportedly split. One source even says that Gisele is solely pinning the breakup on Tom.
“She blames the break on Tom,” the source said. “By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.”
Another source added that the spotlight became too overwhelming for Valente following the roast.
“The spotlight was too much for him,” the source said. “Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting. Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce. He hated that.”
Tom Brady Expresses Deep Regret Over Netflix Special
The former New England Patriots star was the subject of the roast, but several other people caught strays in the process. Roasts are meant to push the envelope in terms of comedic banter. But after the special, Brady admitted that things went a bit too far.
“I loved it when the jokes were about me. Thought they were so fun. I didn’t like the way that affected my kids,” Brady said.
“It’s the hardest part about like, the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way, and then all of a sudden you realize, ‘I wouldn’t do that again,’ because of the way that affected the people that I care about the most in the world.”
He also noted that it was an important lesson for him to learn as a parent.
“I think it’s a good lesson for me as a parent. I’m going to be a better parent as I go forward because of it, and at the same time, I’m happy everyone who was there had a lot of fun,” he added.
