Three Months After Gisele Divorce, Sleepless Tom Brady Sheds 15 Pounds In Devastatingly Draining Season

Tom Brady and his list of accomplishments will not be topped any time soon. But his dominance over the last two decades may have painted him as an indomitable superhuman. Now, the NFL world is beginning to realize that TB12, after all, is also human.

Perhaps it was his steady decline in performance or his resigned statements that carried the weight of being at the top for so long that set things into perspective. As newer updates about the QB’s mental and physical state come to light, one can’t help but wonder if the end of his glorious career is drawing near.

Is Tom Brady physically and emotionally drained?

Two elements of Brady’s life in his 23-year career were constant. One was his upward trajectory and dominance. The second was his fairytale romance and subsequent marriage to Gisele Bündchen. But those elements have been missing from the QB’s life.

After 13 years of marriage, the couple closed the curtain on their relationship. They announced the finalization of their divorce in October 2022. This was undoubtedly a dark time in the QB’s life. And the weight of a public split manifested itself mentally and physically. According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, TB12 reportedly lost 15 pounds during the season.

The physical and mental toll of having to navigate one’s personal life in the public eye is not something anyone would want to deal with.

Brady will have to decide how he wants the future to look

Throughout this season, the NFL has witnessed Brady’s uncharacteristic outbursts. But the decline in the Bucs QB’s performance cannot be solely attributed to his personal struggles. While he may not look like it, TB12 is 45 years old- a number that puts him way ahead of his younger peers.

Recently, the seven-time Super Bowl champion hasn’t been sounding like his usual confident self. With questions about his future looming ahead, the QB’s exasperated statements do nothing to make the situation better. His return to the league after a brief retirement is reportedly what sparked the decline of his relationship with his ex-wife. But now the most bitter pill Brady will have to swallow is not being able to perform his best after putting everything, including his family, on the line.
