Tom Brady and the Buccaneers’ NFL journey ended for the season on Monday night. The Dallas Cowboys came out on top with a 31-14 shutdown of the dismal Bucs. However, with Brady’s peak form showing in Week 17’s Panthers game, Florida’s Pirate Nation had a rekindled hope about playoff success.
Unfortunately, this was not to be. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers crashed out in the NFC super Wild Card Round. But Brady paid homage to his now divorced, former Brazilian supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen. Brady sported the Gisele-endorsed Louis Vuitton handbag while arriving for what was to be his last game of the 2022-23 season.

Brady arrived Monday at the Raymond James Stadium for his 14th straight career playoff appearance. And fans spotted the ‘LVxYK Keepall 55’ worth $3,650.
What made this handbag more unique was Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and an array of global supermodels. This included Bella Hadid, Fei-Fei Sun, and former Victoria’s Secret supermodel and Brady’s ex, Gisele Bündchen.

Bündchen announced her return to the world of fashion after her much-publicized divorce from her former NE Patriots QB husband. And the LV collaboration was just that.

However, TB12 didn’t have the best of nights. With 3 touchdowns and 352 passing yards, his numbers weren’t enough for the win. Tom was also picked thrice in the losing effort, and maybe Gisele’s luck has not transcended into her LV bags.

Gisele was surely Brady’s lucky charm, with Tom Terrific winning three Super Bowl championships while being married to her. The bag? Not so much. Last year, after the Buccaneers lost to the eventual Super Bowl champions LA Rams in the divisional playoff round, Brady announced his retirement. However, he changed his mind within 40 days and this is said to be a major reason for the power couple’s divorce.
This year, Brady hosted a short and solemn press conference after the Cowboys game. And many think this was an indirect goodbye. And with Gisele’s handbag in the mix, Brady may finally be hanging up his cleats.

However, Tom and Gisele remain super close, in relation and proximity. The former couple still shares a joint co-parenting custodial plan from their official divorce settlement for their two kids, Benjamin and Vivian Lake. Gisele’s new Miami mansion is also directly across the waterfront from Brady’s future house on the Biscayne Bayfront. And safe to say, Brady will get a few more LV goodies from Bündchen.
