It seems Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s turmoil has not reached its final chapter yet. Previously, the couple had been gearing up for a $17 million personal project aimed at benefiting their children. However, recent reports indicate that Brady has halted his involvement in the project. Following their divorce in October of last year, the couple shifted their focus toward their family, particularly their children Benjamin and Vivian.
Brady also maintains a co-parenting arrangement with his first son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Following Brady and Bündchen’s divorce, they obtained legal custody of their children and decided to pursue a co-parenting approach in South Florida. As part of this plan, they embarked on a significant joint project that they purchased for $17,000,000.

Tom Brady has abandoned the extensive construction and design plans that he and Gisele Bündchen had envisioned for their shared marital home, and the reasons are still unclear. The former couple acquired the land on the exclusive Indian Creek Island for a substantial $17 million in 2020. Originally, according to New York Post, the floor plans blueprint showcased a lavish residence featuring a range of amenities, including a yoga terrace, organic garden, meditation garden, and pickleball court. The plans also included expansive his-and-hers bathroom suites, and multiple kitchens, among other luxurious features. However, those plans have now been completely scrapped after their divorce. Instead, Brady has devised new plans for his opulent bachelor pad.
The retired NFL star has secured an enormous $35 million construction loan with an annual interest rate of 8.25% to kickstart the new project. The proposed home was about to have a two-story single-family residence, completed with a security building, gym, cabana, pool, sport court, emergency facilities, landscaping, and a septic system. Meanwhile, the cat-walk star, in a separate move, made a significant investment of $11.5 million through a trust for a waterfront teardown in Surfside, which is located just across the water from Brady’s construction site. The existing 6,600-square-foot house on the property was built back in 1981. However, this is not the first instance of construction being halted. There has been a previous occasion where a similar interruption occurred in the project.
The interrupted construction amidst an imminent wave of relationship turmoil
Earlier, construction on former Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s envisioned Florida megamansion came to a halt amid the tumultuous backdrop of their divorce proceedings. The project was already put on hold due to Hurricane Ian, but the complications stemming from their impending divorce further exacerbated the situation.

According to records, the couple had already invested a staggering $17 million in the land, with an additional $10.12 million allocated for construction costs of their custom-built home. A few months ago, construction on Brady’s mansion resumed, fueling speculation that the children would finally have convenient access to both of their parents’ residences. It is worth noting that this particular property is one of only 34 available across 300 acres, offering breathtaking waterfront views of Biscayne Bay, situated along the Atlantic coast of South Florida.
