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.

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.
