A lot of speculation surfaced from the divorce between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen. The power couple married in 2007 and raised a close-knit family while supporting each other’s professional ventures. With a combined net worth of $733 million, it came as a shocker to the world when they officially split in late 2022.
There’s no name as great as Tom Brady in the NFL who is the GOAT with seven Super Bowl wins. Likewise, there’s no comparison to Gisele Bündchen who is regarded as one of the greatest fashion models, starring in over 500 campaigns and posing for more than 2000 magazine covers. Bündchen has already denied speculations that suggested that their divorce came from Brady’s refusal to retire from the NFL. So what’s the reason?

According to a recent report via The Comments Section with Brett Cooper on YouTube, one possible reason that could have initiated the split is that “[Tom Brady] was away for years for longer than he needed to be or should have been.” The commentator added, “You cannot expect to be the man of your house, to be the head of the household if you were not even there… Because when you get married, you are making a commitment.”
The point of argument is that Tom Brady prioritized his career over his family with Bündchen having to make personal sacrifices on behalf of her husband’s NFL career. A source close to the couple told People that Gisele Bündchen was able to cope with the divorce because she has “lived her own life for years while Tom played football.” While Bündchen was more of a family woman, Brady couldn’t leave behind his love for football to prioritize his wife and family.

When Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen met, he was 29 and she was 26 and they wanted things together. The supermodel reflected on their marriage timeline saying, “As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make… You have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle… It’s a balance.” The 46-year-old finally retired for the second and final time in 2023 but it was too late to fix their marriage as they both “amicably” parted ways.

Tom Brady has a net worth of about $333 million while Gisele Bündchen is worth around $400 million. The combined $733 million division wasn’t an issue in the end because they had an ironclad prenup set down before their marriage. The only major thing to consider is the division of their massive property portfolio.
