Since things between Brady and Bündchen reportedly started going downhill when Brady unretired and came back to the league, fans were quick to connect the dots and draw comparisons between the two situations.
Fans brutally address Tom Brady’s marriage
After Houston Astros’ triumph at the world series, Kate Upton expressed support for her husband, Astros’ pitcher Justin Verlander. Retired baseball player David Ortiz did not miss his opportunity to ask the model if her husband should retire or continue to play when she crashed Verlander’s interview.
Upton said, “I love watching my husband do what he loves to do.” The model proceeded to praise her husband on air. Her response was noted by fans, who wasted no time in drawing parallels to Tom Brady’s situation.

This fan comes to Bundchen’s defense
Everyone comparing Kate Upton to Gisele like y’all forget she supported Tom for THIRTEEN years.

This user has a rational take on the situation
🚨In all fairness Kate Upton is 12yrs younger than Gisele Bündchen. If he played 12 more years of baseball I doubt she has the same mindset.

While fans were quick to praise Upton’s supportive statements, others pointed out that Brady and Bündchen were married for far longer. Other voices of reason chimed in and stated that the two situations were different, given that Upton and Verlander are 30 and 39 years old, while Brady and Bündchen are 42 and 45 years old respectively.
