Gisele’s magazine interview dropped yesterday.
While Tom was perhaps collecting his thoughts in Tampa after a fan autograph event the day before, the NFL star's ex-wife's explosive interview went viral.
With a number of bombshell revelations splattered across her story, the 42-year-old model exposed facts surrounding her divorce and rumored love interests.
While Gisele spoke about her husband's ex, it was her candid outpouring of love and longing for Tom that seemed to be the most compelling.
The Brazilian referred to her marriage breakdown as "the death of her dream" and also claimed: “It’s not so black and white.”
“Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,” she said at one point, before adding: “That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person.”
“You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t end up the way you hoped for, and worked for, but you can only do your part," she said.
In an exclusive interview, told The U.S. Sun the hidden messages in the chat.

She says: “Gisele has taken the chance of getting back with Tom up a significant notch with this interview.
"She's being deeply candid, articulate, and outspoken.
"It’s up to Tom now to make the next very important move.
"She talks of puzzles and how life isn’t black and white, but this feels like a final and concrete call out to Tom to step up and listen.
“Their relationship post-divorce is like a chess game - ‘or a dance‘ as she describes it – where one makes a move via social media or the press, followed by the other.
"Given that Tom hasn’t cheated on her – the trust is still there.
"Gisele's yearning for the return of the empathy, the attention, the connection, and the intimacy is also clear.
"All aspects that can be worked on with good outcome wholly depends now on how Tom feels about a reconciliation moving forward.
"Gisele’s interview is effectively an invite for Tom to respond in like – whether publicly or privately.
"If that is what he wants, Gisele has made it clear it would be very welcome."
Gisele and Tom finalized their divorce in October after months of speculation about the unstable state of their 13-year marriage.
Brady, 45, and Bündchen, who'd first met in 2006, hurried through the paperwork and made decisions on their assets.
They also worked out co-parenting their children, Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13.
Previously, Hollywood's most glamorous couple were said to have been at odds over Tom's 40-day football retirement U-turn, something which Gisele has now denied.
“When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together,” Gisele explained in the Vanity Fair interview.
"As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.”
The former Victoria's Secret model also insisted she'd always supported Tom in football and "loved" the game.
"Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I will continue forever,” she confirmed.
She added: "If there's one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it's him, believe me."
"When people grow apart and there's no love left, it can be difficult to repair that relationship," adds Jo.
"However, when there's still significant love there, in the way Gisele has spoken about Tom here.
"You can sense in her interview how hard this has been for her because she does speak in contradictory ways as well.
"She says she still loves him and wants ‘all his dreams to come true.’
"Yet she says they ‘simply grew apart’ and wanted different things.
"At one point, though, she's talking in the present tense as if she still wants them to be together.
“I really think Gisele has chosen her moment to step up the possibility of a reconciliation.
"She's exposing her feelings and emotions in a searingly honest way by doing this feature.
"The ‘dance’ she refers to in the interview are all these covert posts and cryptic messages on Instagram.
"They hint at their unresolved feelings for each other.
"But the interview takes it to another level that I don’t think Tom can ignore."
Gisele emphatically denied being involved with billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, an ex-husband of fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson.
"I have zero relationship with him in any way," she told Vanity Fair, before calling the rumors "absurd."
The cover girl shot down speculation surrounding her dating Jiu-Jitsu pro, Joaquim Valente.
She insisted that his family “helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially."
As revealed exclusively in The U.S. Sun recently, the retired NFL quarterback was thinking of winning back his ex-wife after giving up his career.
On February 1, Tom shared happy family throwbacks that included his retirement announcement video and these included Gisele.
Bündchen also sent the seven-time Super Bowl winner a supportive message and followed up with a slew of sultry shots online.
These included a sexy photo shoot by the shoe brand Arezzo where she was pole dancing.
“The images are hot in this cover interview– she looks sexy and amazing," reveals Jo.
"With just the one ‘homely’ shot, lying on a golden-bathed sofa in underwear.
"Gisele is clearly making a very deliberate statement about how gorgeous she looks and about how much Tom is missing.

"Although much of the feature is about her spiritual side – those images definitely do not match up with that.
"Overall, Gisele appears to feel raw and is reaching out for answers and for Tom."
