After the officer offered her a “courtesy” pass, Bündchen explained her attempts to evade the persistent photographer, saying, “He’s like, stalking me,” before breaking into tears, expressing her exhaustion and desire for privacy.

The officer informed Bündchen that there was little he could do about the photographers due to them performing their jobs.

Bündchen shares son Benja7min, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with her ex-husband, Tom Brady. (Brady is also a dad to son Jack, 16, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)

The former wife of Tom Brady was pulled over during a routine traffic stop while driving her black Mercedes G-Wagon, though the specific reason for the halt remains undisclosed.

While the exact cause of Bündchen’s stop is unknown, a public information officer from the Surfside Police confirmed it was related to a traffic violation.

Representatives for Bündchen did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident.

Earlier that day, Bündchen was spotted walking her dog in her Miami neighbourhood and inspecting renovations on her $11.5 million Indian Creek mansion alongside her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.

Reports surfaced in February, exclusively from Page Six, suggesting a passionate romance between Bündchen and Valente, with claims of them being “madly in love” after being seen kissing on Valentine’s Day in Miami.

Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the dating timeline of Bündchen and Valente since June 2023, with Brady questioning its accuracy.

After the officer told the supermodel that he would give her a “courtesy” pass, she explained she was trying to “stay from that guy.” MEGA

Sources close to the retired quarterback expressed scepticism, suggesting the inclusion of “2021” after June to reflect the timeline of events accurately.

The incident reignited discussions about the ethical boundaries of celebrity journalism and the toll it takes on the mental health and well-being of those in the public eye.

Despite facing the challenges of fame and scrutiny, Bündchen is determined to maintain a sense of normalcy in her life. She finds comfort in engaging in simple activities like walking her dog and overseeing renovations on her home to escape from the constant attention of the media and paparazzi.

Bündchen’s resilience in the face of adversity inspires many, demonstrating grace under pressure and a determination to live on her terms. While navigating the complexities of fame, she continues to prioritize her well-being and the happiness of her loved ones, carving out moments of peace and joy amidst the chaos of public life.
