Tom Brady has posted a cryptic message on social media after a dramatic 24 hours which saw him slammed for using a slur on an NFL broadcast before Gisele Bundchen revealed she was pregnant.
The retired quarterbacks ex-wife announced on Monday that she is expecting her first child with jiu-jitsu pro partner Joaquim Valente.
It came after Brady was heard using a slur to describe Bills quarterback Josh Allen, sparking outrage among NFL fans.
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Brady wrote alongside a photo of the setting sun.
The words, posted to Instagram on Monday night, are lyrics from the Fleetwood Mac song Landslide. The 1975 hit was later covered by The Chicks.
Bradys cryptic post was paraded by a stampede of fans trolling him on social media following the news of Bundchens pregnancy.
Gisele Bündchen, 44, is pregnant, expecting a baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, one user wrote. Someone check on Tom Brady!
This is incredible! I love this for Gisele. Tom Brady is a dumba** for fumbling this baddie, a second commented.
Tom Brady just fell to his knees in the plastic surgery office, a third quipped.
Brady and Bundchen were married for 13 years before calling it quits in October 2022. Shortly after the divorce, Bundchen began dating Valente, who was in the picture as her Jiu-Jitsu instructor during her marriage. The supermodel denied cheating allegations following their split.
Their divorce also came after Brady retracted his initial retirement from the NFL to return for one more season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After retiring for good, Brady signed a 10-year, $375million deal to become the lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports. However, Bradys work in the broadcast booth has been heavily criticized eight weeks into his decade-long tenure.
He did not help his case on Sunday when he was on the hot seat for using a slur to describe Allen during Buffalos game against Seattle.
Sometimes he played like a spaz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high, but now hes controlled the chaos. Hes like a storm coming into town and you dont want that storm coming into this town, Brady said as he discussed the signal callers NFL journey towards the end of the first quarter.
Spaz is a slang abbreviation of the word sp*stic, which is an offensive term often used for someone awkward or clumsy. It is considered to be an ableist slur.
Bradys use of the derogatory term sparked backlash from NFL fans on social media with many stunned into disbelief at the former quarterbacks use of the slur.
Did you hear Tom Brady call Josh Allen a spaz in the first half of todays Bills game? Highly offensive to people who have physical disabilities as well as their loved ones, one shocked social media user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
I think he said Josh Allen has to just not play like a spaz which somehow seems even worse to me. Sickening that that word is even in his vocabulary, another responded.
Thankful for the mute button, a third said in response to a video of the controversial moment.
Another chimed in, expressing their disgust by writing: Brady really just said a player played like a spaz Ew.
The ONLY thing worse about watching your team suck all game long is having to listen to the cold-dull-as-three-day-old-dishwater @tombrady announce the game. #ShutUpDude, another began, also ripping into Bradys announcing skills. ps: The spaz comment was uncalled for.
