NFL icon Tom Brady is going through testing times. The 45-year-old QB is battling both on-field and off-field issues. Incidentally, TB’s decision to play for the Bucs this season did not go well with his wife, Gisele Bündchen. The 42-year-old supermodel had asked the legend to retire from the game, to give more time to their family. However, TB’s reluctance to retire, owing to his passion for the game, led to some troubles in their marriage.

For the first time, the supermodel may miss TB’s opening NFL game on Sunday. Earlier, Bündchen and children used to cheer for the NFL GOAT in the crowd during NFL nights. The family used to take a roundabout way through the gallery after the match. It is a sight etched in the memories of NFL fans. However, they may miss that sight, most probably this year.

As of now, there is no clarity on Tom Brady’s wife attending his first match of this season. “It’s always a big thing when Gisele is coming to watch the game with extra security and snacks for the family, but as of right now, there’s none of that for Sunday’s game,” a source with the Buccaneers said.

However, the NFL GOAT is not disappointed either. The 45-year-old is trying to set his priorities right, and move ahead in life. The legend did not make a fuzz as to why his family is absent. However, the source is not leaving the complete chances of TB’s wife’s return. “ 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,” added the source.

Tom Brady to focus on his game

Talking about the dressing room environment, the source added that the team members are not discussing the marriage issue with TB. Instead, the NFL GOAT is given the space to handle it himself. “Everyone here knows that there’s tension, but 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 insider continued.

Meanwhile, the insider also added that the duo are not giving up on themselves, but are trying hard to make things work. “But I know they’re trying, or at least he’s trying, to figure it out and make it work.
