The 45-year-old NFL great seemingly took a swipe at his former spouse, who spoke at length about the disintegration of their relationship in a new cover story with the mag.

“What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,” Brady shared, posting a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson to his Instagram Story.
The quote continues: “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — This is to have succeeded!”

Brady’s post came just hours after Bündchen, 42, told Vanity Fair that speculation about their breakup was “not so black and white.”
“It’s like a death and a rebirth,” Bündchen said. “It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?”
In her interview, Bündchen shot down rumours that she made Brady choose between their marriage and his football career, which came to an end last month. “Gisele told Tom either he leaves football to spend time with the family or she is gone for good,” a source told Us Weekly last October.
But Bündchen said that rumour was “the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me,” she told the magazine. “I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”

Bündchen also shot down reports that she has moved on with real estate developer Jeffrey Soffer, a friend of Brady’s (and the ex-husband of Elle Macpherson). “I have zero relationship with him in any way,” Bündchen said. “He’s Tom’s friend, not my friend.”
But Bündchen didn’t emphatically deny she was romantically involved with her jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, with whom she has been photographed with in recent months.
“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything,” she said. “He’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”
Bündchen said they split after 13 years of marriage because they wanted “different things” out of life.

“Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,” she said. “When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person, it just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle …”
Bündchen went on to add that she had “no regrets” about her marriage and “loved every bit of it.”
“When you love someone, you don’t put them in a jail and say, ‘You have to live this life.’ You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly in the same direction, then that’s amazing.”
