Tom Brady is sharing a few words about love, a day after it was reported that his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, gave birth to her first child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.

On Thursday, Feb. 6, the NFL legend, 47, went on his Instagram Stories to share a quote about the “secret to being loved.”

“I really think the secret to being loved is to love. And the secret to being interesting is to be interested. And the secret to have others find beauty in you is to find beauty in others. And the secret to having a friend is being a friend,” the quote, attributed to the handle @larissa_raymond, read.Underneath the quote, Brady wrote, “Love this.”

The retired football star’s upload comes a day after news broke that Bündchen, 44, and Valente, 37, had welcomed their first child.

A source told PEOPLE earlier on Thursday that the Brazilian supermodel had welcomed a baby boy. Although his first name is unknown at this time, the source said his middle name is River.

The name continues the tradition of giving her kids water-themed middle names, as she shares daughter Vivian Lake, 12, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, with Brady. The athlete also shares son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 17, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.
