Tom Brady raised eyebrows this week when he shared a cryptic quote about a ‘lying cheating heart’ — over a year after his divorce with Gisele Bundchen.

The retired NFL star, 46 — who is currently wooing supermodel Irina Shayk — uploaded the lengthy quote by legendary boxer Muhammad Ali to his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

In it, the late athlete explains that the ‘heart,’ whether it be good or bad, is what leads us and that only a man with a true, loving heart can be ‘great.’

It also warns that those who lack morality, kindness and love will never truly achieve greatness regardless of their worldly accomplishments.

Brady’s IG Story post comes months after Gisele, 43, admitted she was ‘just surviving’ during their 13-year marriage and that they simply ‘grew apart.’

It also comes amid rumors — which Gisele has vehemently denied — that she has moved on with her jiujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente following their October 2022 split.

Earlier this year, she told Vanity Fair that the media is simply trying to ‘attach’ her to someone now that she is a single woman.

Gisele also expressed gratitude to her ‘great friend’ Valente for helping her and her children navigate this new chapter of their lives.

‘The personality of a person. The ways of a person. His thoughts. His deeds. his actions,’ Ali’s quote begins. ‘Are all based around his heart.

‘For what is a man? A man is his heart. A lying cheating heart means a lying cheating man. A loving merciful heart means a loving merciful man.’

Ali also talks about the true meaning of ‘living’ as he explains that ‘a living heart’ is that of a ‘living man’ while a ‘dead heart’ is a ‘dead man.’

He goes on to emphasize that a man’s greatness is not defined by his status but rather his character.

‘Regardless to a man’s title. Regardless to a man’s rank, wealth or position, if the heart is not great then he cannot be great.

‘But if the heart is great that man remains great under all circumstances, rich or poor, large or small, for it is the heart that makes one large or small,’ the quote concludes.

Adding his own two cents, Brady encouraged his 14.6million followers to be ‘proud of the man in the glass.’

Brady and Bundchen started dating in 2007 before tying the knot in 2009.

They were together for more than acbd decade and welcomed two children — 11-year-old daughter Vivian Lake and son Benjamin, 13 — before they confirmed they were divorcing in October 2022.

It also comes amid rumors — which Gisele has vehemently denied — that she has moved on with her jiujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente following their October 2022 split

In separate statements, they said that it took ‘much consideration’ before they made the ‘difficult’ and ‘painful’ decision to end their marriage.

Gisele noted that they had ‘amicably finalized the divorce’ while Brady said they only ‘wish the best for each other.’

She told CBS News Sunday Morning that she has happily moved into a new era of her life and finally feels like she’s ‘living.’

Brady is seemingly back in the dating game as he recently rekindled his romance with Irina Shayk, 37.

The Russian runway maven and the former football player became the subject of dating rumors after reportedly hitting it off in July.

Like Brady, Shayk is also parent as she shares a six-year-old daughter named Lea with ex Bradley Cooper, 48.

Months later it was reported that their fling ‘fizzled out’ but reconnected this month after they were seen in each other’s company in Miami, Florida.

Earlier this week, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Brady and Shayk could soon take the next step by making their romance ‘official.’

Insiders dished that the pair are comfortable with their connection becoming ‘more permanent’ — but no one wants to make the first move.

‘Tom and Irina are hanging out again but aren’t in a full-blown relationship,’ the source said. ‘They are attracted to each other and love hanging out but are playing the game of hanging out with each other when it is convenient for them.

‘They keep talking and are comfortable with each other to where it’s going to lead into something more permanent if they allow it.

‘It has all the elements where they are fighting a sure thing, someone just has to make the move to make it official but no one wants to be first.

‘When you are in a good relationship and you’re getting to the love stage and you’re thinking when to say, “I love you,” and no one wants to say it earlier than the other person is kind of what is happening with Tom and Irina.’

The source then noted: ‘They know what it can be, they are just fighting it, not in a negative way, they just don’t want to hurt each other’s feelings and are trying to figure out their pace with each other.’

Tellingly, Tom stepped out solo last Thursday as he joined a host of A-listers for the launch of the new upscale resort, Fountainebleau Las Vegas.

It came days after his apparent one-on-one hangout with Shayk after reuniting at Art Basel.
