Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have divorced after weeks of speculation that their marriage was crumbling…
And now, Brady has spoken out about their split for the first time on his podcast.
But before we get into that, 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 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.
At the start of the year, Brady announced his retirement.
It seems as though this was his attempt to fix things with his family.
He released a statement back in January…
Saying that he was 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 posted updates of him and his family, who come down to support him during his games.
But now, it seems the couple has called it quits.
According to New York Post, both parties attained divorce lawyers.
Rumors have been surfing the internet for the past few weeks…
Following their fight.
Many were left wondering how they would 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 said that the pair were 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 stayed with the kids whilst Brady lived elsewhere amid the divorce.
Following these rumors, the internet has already gone wild with one particular joke…
Social media users are hoping that Bündchen chooses Pete Davidson as her rebound.
Davidson has a long history of going out with newly single women…
One user shared a picture of a smiling Davidson and captioned it: “Pete Davidson finding out about the Brady/Gisele divorce rumors.”
“Tom Brady seeing Gisele on a date with Pete Davidson,” another joked as they shared a video from the character Homelander in the Amazon Prime show The Boys.
“If Pete Davidson gets with Gisele, it’s confirmed we are living in a simulation,” a third said.
And it seems as though BetOnline agrees!
They’ve put Davidson as the favorite on a list of potential new boyfriends for Bündchen.
Jason Momoa is right behind him!
Followed by Leonardo DiCaprio, John Mayer, Chris Evans, and Bradley Cooper.
However, they might be jumping the gun just a little.
Since their public split, Brady has spoken out for the first time.
He spilled all on his recent SiriusXM podcast Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray.
“I think there’s a lot of professionals in life that go through things that they deal with at work and they deal with at home,” he said.
“Obviously the good news is it’s a very amicable situation and I’m really focused on two things, taking care of my family and certainly my children and, secondly, doing the best job I can to win football games.
He continued: “So that’s what professionals do. You focus at work when it’s time to work, and then when you come home you focus on the priorities that are at home. All you can do is the best you could do.
“That’s what I’ll just continue to do as long as I’m working and as long as I’m being a dad.”
Jim Gray then asked Brady: “Is there a challenge compartmentalizing between the two?”
“Well, I think that’s what being a professional is. I’ve dealt with a lot of challenging situations on and off the field over 23 years, and a lot of it does play out in front of a lot of people,” he replied.
Brady later added: “To deal with things in your life that have challenges, you wanna deal with them in the best possible way. So I want to always be able to hold my head high on and off the field, and I’m gonna try to continue to do that for as long as I’m here.”
