Tom Brady & Wife Gisele Bündchen File For Divorce
NFL star Tom Brady and his estranged wife Gisele Bündchen called it quits after being married for 13 years.
This morning (Oct. 28) Tom Brady took to his Instagram story to reveal that he and his wife Gisele Bündchen have come to an agreement to finalize their divorce. The Tampa Bay quarterback shared:
“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”
He continued:
“We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration.”
The 45-year-old added:
“Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world. However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written. And we kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate what is to come in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you.”
According to sources, the former Victoria Secrets Angel wasn’t thrilled when her husband went back on his retirement announcement during the 2021 NFL season and decided to play another season of professional football. Reports claim that the ex-couple will file for divorce effective immediately in Florida. The source shared:
“The settlement is all worked out. They’ve been working on the terms this whole time.”
The source addsed:
“They agreed to joint custody of the kids.”
Back in October, the source previously shared that once Tom Brady went back to football, Bündchen decided she “is done with their marriage.” The source said:
“She was upset about it for a long time and it’s still difficult, but she feels like she needs to move on. She doesn’t believe that her marriage can be repaired.”
After the model, 42, hired a divorce lawyer, Brady, did the same, and in doing so he was hurt. An insider said:
“She is the one steering the divorce. She is playing offense and he is playing defense. He wants to protect himself, protect his interests, but he’s only starting to go the legal route in his defense from her. He doesn’t want this to be ugly, he doesn’t want to fight. If the divorce is happening — and it seems like it is — he wants it to go as smoothly as possible.”
Brady and his ex-wife share two children; son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian Lake, 9, along with his son John Edward, 15, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. Back in September it was shared that the couple have been living separately for “more than a month” by the start of the 2022-23 NFL season. The pair took marriage counseling in the past when they hit bumpy roads within their relationship. During an Howard Stern interview back in April of 2020, Brady said:
“[Gisele] didn’t feel like I was doing my part for the family. She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all of a sudden when the season ended, I’d be like, ‘Great, let me get into all of my other business activities. Let me get into my football training,’ and she’s sitting there going, ‘Well when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?'”
