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.

After having his children…

Brady announced his retirement.

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.

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.

  via Getty Images  

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 attained divorce lawyers.

Rumors have been surfing the internet for the past weeks…

Following their fight.

Both have been left wondering how they will divide their multi-million dollar empire.

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

Reports suggest the couple most recently bought a $17 million property on Indian Creek Island in Miami.

The pair also own several other homes…

  via Getty Images  

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…

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

“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.

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

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.

  via Getty Images  

“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.

Bündchen also seems to be doing well as she was recently spotted going out on a date.

And the new man in question is someone who’s been a big part of Bündchen’s life for a while.

  via Getty Images  

Making their supposed relationship look a bit fishy.

The news is also quite sudden considering the pair only split a few weeks ago.

  via Getty Images  

And fans have been left shocked…

Many questioned her faithfulness in her marriage with Brady prior to the split.

  via Getty Images  

One wrote: “No way he is a new man in her life. Especially with her kids appearing so comfortable with him and her having them around him at all. Quite confident she cheated for quite a while with this guy.”

While another commented: “Yeah, I knew there was another reason she wanted to divorce Tom Brady. It was way too obvious. Good luck to her.”

  via Getty Images  

“He chose football over his family. He chose Ego. She definitely stepped up her game,” a third wrote.

Bündchen was seen wearing a cropped top and flowing black pants on the date with her new man…

  via Getty Images  

While he was seen wearing a gray shirt and shorts.

And it turns out the man in question is her Jiu-Jitsu instructor!

  via Getty Images  

Back in February, she thanked him (Joaquim Valente) on her Instagram page for helping her learn the martial art.

According to Page Six, Bündchen and Valente appear to be an item.

  via Getty Images  

The pair reportedly went for food at Koji in Provincia de Puntarenas with Bündchen’s 2 kids.

Brady, however, is reportedly “distraught” and deleted a tweet about the new lovebirds in town.

  via Getty Images  

Bündchen posted a video of herself training in jiu-jitsu at The Valente Brothers’ gym on February 23 of this year.

She wrote a long caption about getting stronger alongside the video on Instagram.

  via Getty Images  

“I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women,” Bündchen wrote.

But what is interesting is that on the same day Brady took to Twitter and tweeted about it…

  via Getty Images  

“My days of leaving dishes in the sink are numbered,” he wrote.

But Brady has since deleted the tweet.

  via Getty Images  

And now, it seems Brady’s return to football may be stalling.

As he lost his first football game since he made his return to the sport.

  via Getty Images  

The Buccaneers lost in overtime to the Browns in Cleveland.

However, Brady actually played quite well.

  via Getty Images  

According to People, he went 29/43 for a total of 246 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions — but it wasn’t enough.

And now, the star has opened up about his thoughts on retirement.

  via Getty Images  

And fans have a lot to say about his comments…

“Soooooo basically he is saying ‘IM NOT IN THE SUPERBOWL THIS WEEK SO I WILL THROW OUT THIS STATEMENT SO I CAN MAKE THIS WEEK ABOUT ME’……..Me, Me, Me !!!!!” one wrote.

  via Getty Images  

While another said: “He absolutely loves people talking about him… LOVES IT.. dude go spend time with your family before you turn 50.”

Back in October, Brady told reporters: “I love the sport, I love the teammates, and I wanna do a great job for this team like I always have.

  via Getty Images  

“So, no retirement in my future.”

But he recently got candid on his Let’s Go! podcast this week…

  via Getty Images  

Telling Jim Gray that he was “on borrowed time, anyway.”

Brady said he is trying to focus on the “day-to-day, game-to-game.”

  via Getty Images  

Adding: “Really, I’m just focused on what we need to do to improve this week … I love the sport, so I love the preparation for it. I love seeing us improve and get better.”
