Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady have officially confirmed their divorce. Over the last few months, the internet has been rife with speculation regarding the couple’s marital issues. Fans online have been restlessly following updates regarding the couple’s then-alleged divorce. All rumours were put to rest when the couple announced that their divorce has been finalized.

It has been reported that the couple’s marriage took a turn for the worse when seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady announced his retirement from the sport. Together, Brady and Bündchen have two children, a son Benjamin and a daughter, Vivian.

Gisele Bündchen has been making plans ahead of time

The couple’s announcement has not come as a shock to fans. Brady and Bündchen have sent the rumor mill into overdrive over the last few months.

But it seems like Bündchen has had plans in place for a while now. The Daily Mail reported that Bündchen purchased a property near Miami Beach in February. Her soon-to-be ex-husband announced his retirement two weeks later.

This purchase may indicate that the eventual end of Bündchen and Brady’s marriage was in the works for a while now. The model and quarterback own several properties across the United States and abroad. It is unclear whether Bündchen plans on staying in Miami where Brady plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

An end to a 13-year marriage

The couple posted individual statements via Instagram to confirm that they have finalized their divorce. According to their statement, the decision was made amicably.

Bündchen’s modeling career has not been at the forefront of her priorities in the recent past. The Brazilian model has been very committed to taking care of her family. She has also been campaigning for environmental causes.

Bündchen’s memoir, ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life’, speaks of her childhood. The model also talks about all the lessons that have helped her get to where she is.

Tom Brady is currently in his 23rd season with the NFL. His performance on the gridiron, or lack thereof, has come under scrutiny. Currently, 3-5 in the league, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered three consecutive losses. The Ravens defeated the Bucs 22-27 in their most recent game.

Tom Brady’s tumultuous personal life seems to be manifesting itself on the field. Fans believe that the quarterback’s recent outburst and the slump in performance can be credited to whatever he is going through off the field.
