In the aftermath ofGisele Bündchen’s recent interview withVanity Fair, her ex-husbandTom Bradytook to Instagram to get poetic.
The former NFL quarterback posted a quote from poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson to hisInstagramstory on Thursday, which discussed the meaning of success and overcoming the “betrayal of false friends.”
“What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,” the poem begins. “To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one’s self…”

Yet,some onlinethought the timing of the post was peculiar, especially the poem’s reference to “false friends.”
Brady shared the poem less than a day afterVanity Fairpublished Bündchen’s first interview since the couple’s divorce in October last year.
“If there’s one person I want to be thehappiest 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.”
The two share daughter,Vivian, 10, and son,Benjamin, 13, while Brady is also dad to son,Jack, 15.
Bündchen’s said she and Brady “wanted different things” compared to when they met in their 20s.

“Sometimesyou 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.”
