The entertainment and sports industry has been stormed with a lot of marriage controversies lately. The most recent one is the separation rumors between NFL legend Tom Brady and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The couple got married in 2009 and have two kids Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake.

Recently, Shaquille O’Neal has shared a strong piece of advice to the celebrity couple from his experiences.

Shaquille O’Neal was married to his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson and had four kids together.

The four-time NBA champ also disclosed that he suffered sadness and depression after his separation from Shaunie and being distanced from his kids.

Recently, Shaq shared his perspective on his own Brady-Bundchen separation fiasco during the latest episode of the Big Podcast. The host Nischelle Turner pointed out that Tomy Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s combined net worth is $650 million with the supermodel having the majority contribution. She hoped that the couple could sort out their differences and avoid getting separated.

Meanwhile, Shaq said, “We’ve seen this narrative with celebrity marriages. Once we start competing with each other, it’s over.” Shaq suggested that marriage requires sacrifices from both sides. The 15-time All-Star did not think that the problems between Brady and his wife were enough to get a divorce.

It is believed that Gisele Bundchen is the one pushing for the divorce. Tom Brady is not in favor of the separation and wants to continue being with his wife. The five-time Super Bowl MVP has been active in the NFL for almost 22 years since his debut with the New England Patriots in 2000.
