Tom Brady Opens Up About Painful Divorce from Gisele Bündchen
Three years after their shocking split, NFL legend Tom Brady has finally spoken about his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The football icon appeared on FOX Sports' "The Herd" and shared emotional details about how the separation affected his life and career.
Brady's Candid Admission About His Final Season
Tom Brady did not hold back during his interview. He described his last NFL season as particularly difficult. "My last season was tough," Brady revealed. "I was going through a lot of personal, family issues, and it was a challenge. It just took a lot out of me in terms of my ability to continue to play."
The seven-time Super Bowl champion explained that family considerations played a major role in his retirement decision. "I had 23 years in the NFL, so I didn't feel like I was missing anything by retiring," Brady said. "I always had a goal to play until 45. I was 45 years old. I wanted to spend time with my kids. I felt like, 'OK, now it's time for me to be at all my kids' games.' They've been to enough of their dad's games."
Gisele Bündchen's Cryptic Social Media Post
Just hours before Brady's interview aired, Gisele Bündchen made a mysterious post on social media. The Brazilian supermodel shared a stunning photograph of herself wearing a beautiful necklace with the initials "J, B, V and A."
Observers believe the letters represent her new family. The "J" likely stands for her new husband, Joaquim Valente. "B" probably represents her 16-year-old son, Benjamin. "V" appears to be for her 13-year-old daughter, Vivian. The "A" is thought to be the initial of her third child.
Bündchen's Heartfelt New Year Message
Gisele Bündchen accompanied her photo with a meaningful caption about gratitude and new beginnings. "As the new year unfolds, my heart is full of gratitude for the moments spent recharging with my family," she wrote. "May this year bring you love, health, peace, and new adventures."
The supermodel added a powerful message about self-discovery. "May you find the courage to honor your heart's calling and to know and love yourself more deeply," Bündchen concluded.
Different Paths After Divorce
The former couple has taken distinctly different paths since their 2022 divorce. Tom Brady has remained single and focused on his broadcasting career with FOX Sports. Meanwhile, Gisele Bündchen has remarried and expanded her family with a new baby.
Their high-profile separation continues to capture public attention. Brady's emotional revelations and Bündchen's symbolic post offer glimpses into how both have processed their split and moved forward with their lives.
