Is the marriage of Gisele Bundchen (42) and Tom Brady (45) over? Rumors have been circulating for a few weeks about an alleged crisis between the model and the football star. As reported, among other things, by "Page Six", the gossip portal of the "New York Post", citing several insiders from the couple's environment, the two are said to have recently hired divorce lawyers.

Accordingly, a final separation of the two can be assumed. "I don't think there will be any going back now. They both have lawyers and are evaluating what a split will entail, who will get what and what the finances will be like," said an inside source. Neither Brady nor Bundchen have commented on the reports.

Just a few weeks ago, in an interview with Elle magazine, the model spoke about their relationship and Brady's decision not to end his football career after all. "Of course I have my concerns - this is a very violent sport and I have my kids and I want it to be more present," she said among other things. "I've definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately I think everyone has to make a decision that works for them."

In early February 2022, Brady initially announced the end of his career. Only 40 days later, however, he announced his resignation: His place was still on the field and not in the stands. He is considered one of the most successful and best American football players of all time. He secured six of his seven Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots. In 2021 he triumphed again with his current team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have been a couple since 2006 and have been married since February 26, 2009. In December of the same year, their son Benjamin was born. Three years later, daughter Vivian was born. Tom Brady also has son John Edward Thomas Moynahan (15) from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan (51).
