While the Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is getting ready to script history on Sunday, it seems his life partner won’t be there to witness the glory. There have been rumors about Brady and Gisele Bündchen going through a rough phase. However, with each passing day, things are getting more intense between them. Per the recent reports, Bündchen has not shown any signs of attending Brady’s season opener.

This season is very special for Tom Brady in every aspect. He will be the oldest NFL quarterback to start the game, and having his love along with the kids in the stands would be one of the most cherishing moments for the quarterback. However, per the Buccaneers insider who pitched to PEOPLE, the supermodel might stay away from the sighting. “It feels very different this year than last year,” the source said.

Because every year special provisions are made ahead of the game to accommodate Brady’s wife and kids. It has to be on the schedule. However, this time nothing as such seems to have appeared per the insider.

“I’m not saying she can’t possibly come, but nothing is in place for her to be here for the first regular season game, and that seems weird. We don’t know how serious it is. So we’re just not talking to him about Gisele. It’s not a topic anyone wants to bring up to him.” The tip read per the media outlet. Tracking down all the recent events between the NFL couple, this theory does hold gravity to some extent.
