Tom Brady<\/a> continues checking off new ventures in his post-retirement life. The former New England Patriots<\/a> quarterback recently made his modeling debut for Gucci Resort 2027 at New York\u2019s Times Square, wearing a fitted leather biker jacket over a black shirt, paired with matching pants and black boots. And while Brady\u2019s runway appearance and walk drew mixed reactions from fans online, his ex-wife, Gisele B\u00fcndchen, reportedly responded with support rather than judgment.<\/p>\n Watch What\u2019s Trending Now!<\/p>\n \u201cHer attitude was basically, \u2018Good for him for trying.\u2019 Most men would never have the confidence to walk a major runway in front of the entire fashion industry,\u201d an insider revealed, according to Rob Shuter.<\/p>\n Last week, Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Gucci, unveiled his first Cruise collection in Times Square, transforming part of the iconic New York location into a runway. The venue itself carried historical significance for Gucci, as the brand opened its first store outside Italy back in 1953.<\/p>\n NFL legend Tom Brady shared the runway with names like Paris Hilton, Emily Ratajkowski, and Cindy Crawford. Meanwhile, several celebrities were also in attendance, including Mariah Carey, Shawn Mendes, and Kim Kardashian, along with Lindsay Lohan and her husband, Bader Shammas. Alix Earle, who was reportedly romantically linked to Tom Brady earlier this year, was also present.<\/p>\n As all of that unfolded, reports suggested B\u00fcndchen, who shares two children with Brady, a son born in 2009 and a daughter born in 2012, respected the former quarterback for stepping outside his comfort zone and embracing something completely different after football. Per Shuter, another source added:<\/p>\n \u201cTom absolutely has the look for fashion,\u201d another source says. \u201cBut if he wants modeling to become part of his next chapter, he\u2019s definitely going to need more runway practice.\u201d<\/p>\n B\u00fcndchen probably understands the fashion world better than anyone. As one of the highest-paid models of her generation, she knows how demanding the fashion industry can be. Starting her modeling career at a young age, B\u00fcndchen had her breakthrough in 1998 after appearing in an Alexander McQueen runway show.<\/p>\n Since then, the Brazilian supermodel has walked for some of the world\u2019s biggest luxury fashion houses, including Chanel, Versace, Christian Dior, and Valentino, among many others. She has also appeared at several major fashion events and premieres throughout her career, including the Met Gala, Cannes Film Festival, Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show carpets, and Olympic ceremonies.<\/p>\n So, it\u2019s not hard to understand why she\u2019s been supportive of Brady as he made his modeling debut at the Gucci event in Times Square. But even before Brady\u2019s runway debut, B\u00fcndchen had previously described her ex-husband as a fashionista.<\/p>\n \u201cHe loves clothes way more than I do. He has great taste and understands and really cares about what people want, what can help them feel good. That\u2019s what fashion is about,\u201d she once said.<\/p>\n And it is not difficult to see why Brady would lean into that world after retirement. Beyond being a seven-time Super Bowl champion, FOX broadcaster, and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Brady also co-founded the activewear and athleisure brand BRADY. The company later partnered with NOBULL and now sells hoodies, outerwear, pants, and other accessories.<\/p>\n
