Gisele Bündchen has secretly bought an $11.5 million mansion opposite her ex-husband Tom Brady.
This comes after the pair recently finalized their divorce.
But before we delve deep into that story, let’s have a look at the history of the couple…
Brady has been under the spotlight with the NFL for a long time now.
He’s taken his team to victory in the Super Bowl 7 times.
He married a Brazilian supermodel and the love of his life Gisele Bündchen in February 2009…
And they went on to have two beautiful children, Vivian Lake Brady and Benjamin Rein — as well as Tom’s son Jack from his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, who Bündchen calls her “bonus child.”
But it wasn’t that easy to accept the reality of Brady’s ex-girlfriend having a baby when Brady had been dating Bündchen for only 2 months…
In her 2018 book titled Lessons: My Path To A Meaningful Life, the Brazilian beauty confessed she was “hurt,” when news broke out of the pregnancy.
But things took an opposite turn when…
Bündchen revealed that “Jack helped my heart expand in ways I didn’t know was possible.”
And she has “no regrets” of being a stepmom too.
He released a statement back in January…
Saying that he’s going to be hanging his boots and helmet up.
We’re all well aware that Brady has been no stranger to controversy throughout his career.
But what football player isn’t? Brady rose to stardom after being drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft.
He went on to make history for the team.
With a historic Super Bowl win of thirty-four to twenty-eight against the Atlanta Falcons in 2017, Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to take home 6 Super Bowl rings.
Yet, despite his success in the field, he became wrapped up in scandals.
Remember “Deflategate?” If you don’t, Deflategate is the term that was loosely used to describe the NFL’s investigation into the New England Patriots — and, in particular, Brady — for their alleged tampering with the football inflation levels.
And the legal battle got a little messy.
Ahead of their 2014-15 AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts, the Patriots were accused of under-inflating the footballs and one of the longest and most contentious legal battles in NFL history commenced.
In a Facebook post, Brady announced that he would not be continuing with the legal proceeds, and would ultimately be accepting his suspension.
The quarterback went on to sit out the first four games of the 2016-17 regular season. However, he came back in true form at the end of the season, as he and the Patriots won another Super Bowl.
But as well as being one of the world’s most famous NFL players, Brady is also a devoted father.
He has 3 children. His eldest is Jack, aged thirteen, whose mom is Bridget Moynahan, and then there’s Benjamin, eleven, and Vivian, 8, whose mom is Brady’s current wife, Gisele Bündchen.
And they’re such an adorable family.
Brady regularly posts updates of him and his family, who comes down to support him during his games.
But now, it seems as though the couple is to split up.
According to New York Post, both parties have attained divorce lawyers.
Both have been left wondering how they will divide their multi-million dollar empire.
An unknown source told Page Six, “I don’t think there will be any coming back now. They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be.”
Sources have said that the pair are assessing how they would split up their $26 million property following the divorce.
Reports suggest the couple most recently bought a $17 million property on Indian Creek Island in Miami.
The pair also own several other homes…
One is a luxury Tribeca building in New York City, which is worth $3.6 million.
Another is a $5.7 million property at Mike Meldman’s exclusive Yellowstone club in Montana.
It’s been reported that Bündchen is staying with the kids whilst Brady is living elsewhere amid the divorce.
And shocking new revelations have come to light…
Bündchen had been liking some rather shady social media posts!
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the post on Instagram.
It read: “You can’t be in a committed relationship with someone who is inconsistent with you. Read that again.”
Bündchen herself had commented on it with the prayer hands emoji.
She then reportedly made one final plea to Brady to try and save their marriage.
“Gisele told Tom either he leaves football to spend time with the family or she is gone for good,” an insider told US Weekly.
“She doesn’t want him to continue to get injured and not be able to enjoy life in the future,” the source continued. “She is doing it for her family.”
Sadly, her plea doesn’t appear to have worked, as sources have shared that they have now signed their divorce documents.
Meaning they have both reached a settlement bringing their marriage to an end.
Sources told TMZ that Bündchen is working with a spiritual healer to help her through this tough time.
While Brady is trying to stay afloat with the Buccaneers, who have had a pretty tough time as of late, losing 3 games in a row.
But even so, Brady has admitted he’s doing his best to cope in his personal life and his professional life.
“I’ve always tried to do the best I could do here, and then when I leave here, I try to do the best I could do, and that’s what we all try to do.
“I’m sure everyone sitting in this room, sitting at home, just trying to wake up every day doing the best they could do for their families and their career, and I’m no different,” he said.
And now, a matchmaker has revealed Brady and Gisele’s future romances…
According to reports in PEOPLE, the pair were legally single as of October 28.
And Bündchen released a statement confirming their divorce.
“The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always,” Bündchen wrote in a statement posted to her Instagram Story confirming the breakup.
While Brady also took to Instagram Stories to share a similar statement.
“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 wrote.
But it seems people have been way more interested in their next romances…
According to Susan Trombetti, a matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking, Bündchen will be the first to dip her toes back into a serious relationship.
But it could be a different scene for Brady…
“Tom could possibly be spotted with someone first, but Gisele will be the first to move forward with a new, more long-term relationship and love. The only thing we might spot Tom doing is having a few flings,” she predicted.
PEOPLE reports that Brady allegedly didn’t want to divorce and therefore it may take some time to process things, as he’s still wrapped up in football.
“There could be so many women in his orbit, that he never feels isolated and alone enough to sit back and ponder. Also, he could go from short term fling to fling. He can’t seem to retire and that might hit him hard as well when he does,” Trombetti said.
“Gisele on the other hand, has been lonely for a while… While I am sure she is sad, she has gone through it for years, and is now coming out on the other side. She will have no trouble finding the right one,” she added.
Life coach and relationship expert Nicole Moore also agreed that Bündchen will likely get into another serious relationship first.
“Tom may rebound first but Gisele will find true love first,” she predicted.
“I highly doubt his heart is truly open to real love, so it’s likely that any relationship he does enter into will be a fling at best.”
Moore said Brady made his priorities clear when he ditched his retirement plan.
She explained: “Tom [could continue] to use football as a distraction, in which case, he will physically move on at some point but will likely remain emotionally stuck on Gisele in some way for years to come.”
Moore also noted that: “Gisele’s in a more healed place within than Tom is, so she’ll likely attract a better partner and have a higher chance of finding true lasting love than Tom.”
Moore speculated that the supermodel could potentially be in another serious relationship 1 or 2 years after the divorce.
“Gisele was emotionally done first, so she will likely fully move on first,” she said.
While a source told PEOPLE in October that Bündchen was seemingly doing okay post-split, saying: “[She’s] lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she’s not afraid to do things by herself.”
And it seems Brady is learning to cope too as he has revealed he’s searching for “a better peace of mind” following the divorce.
On Monday’s episode of his Let’s Go! podcast Brady revealed that his 9-year-old often points out her dad’s negative facial expressions when he plays football.
“My daughter always says, ‘Daddy, you did not have a happy face out there.’ And I’m trying!
“I wish I would have more awareness of what the scowl looks like, but I’m doing my best to try to get to a better place and better peace of mind,” he said.
Brady also noted that Vivian, his daughter is always “excited” to watch him play, and even called her his “No. 1 cheerleader.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he added.
Since then, his ex-wife’s latest move has raised a few eyebrows…
According to Page Six, Bündchen has splurged out on a stunning 5-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot home that has a nearly direct view of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback’s under-construction manse on Indian Creek Island.
But that’s not all…
Bündchen reportedly first viewed the mansion on August 16…
And this was just days before Brady’s shocking eleven-day break from the NFL, which was said to be a last-ditch attempt to save their relationship. However, she closed on the property on October 6.
A source told the media outlet that Bündchen was actively looking at homes in Miami Beach.
They added that this was even before Brady took his break from the NFL.
Reportedly, Brady’s in-the-works mansion has a waterfront view of Biscayne Bay.
While Bündchen’s new home is in Surfside, which is almost directly opposite her ex-husband’s.
“You could literally swim from Gisele’s place to Tom’s — not that they would — but both homes will include a dock, so it would be very easy for them to co-parent their children while living so close to each other,” the source told Page Six.
