Tom Brady’s Ex-wife Gisele Bündchen Reportedly Held Prime Role in the QB Deciding to Retire for Good

Tom Brady shook the world after revealing that he is finally stepping down. The quarterback was amidst looming speculation that he could return for another season. But that did not happen, as the GOAT sailed off into the sunset. However, the athlete’s retirement may have more influence than his. New speculations are turning up, and it may look like Brady’s retirement has a Gisele Bündchen factor.

A few days after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Wild Card loss, Tom Brady was under intense speculations. But when Brady announced his retirement, several people came forward to congratulate him. Among them was Gisele Bündchen, who wished her luck. But her involvement was more than just commenting on Instagram.

Tom Brady had support from his ex-wife

As it turns out, Gisele Bündchen is ardently supporting Tom Brady. As per US Weekly’s latest edition, sources revealed that Brady went to his ex-wife Bündchen for advice on whether to retire from the NFL for the second time. The insiders added, “Tom and Gisele are on cordial terms,” and that they, “talked this through before he came to the final decision.”

The supermodel stood like a “rock” for her ex-husband to make such a decision, which was a very successful juncture in her life. Leaving behind such a grand legacy is indeed onerous. But Bündchen was the prime factor that helped TB12 pursue his second retirement. It is safe to say that the exes have each other’s backs despite ending their relationship last year.

While speaking on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Tom Brady said he wants to be good at whatever he does. He would take his time to learn, study, and do great in whatever he would be doing. But he would not rush into anything, which could explain why he would take the job in 2024.
