“Just Trying to Be Super Dad”- Insider Reveals Tom Brady’s Mindset as Rumors of Wife Gisele Bundchen Leaving Him for Costa Rica Heighten Amidst Divorce Reports
Tom Brady is gearing up for his 22nd season as an NFL player. While an average lifespan of an NFL player is 3.3 years, Brady has surpassed it by almost seven times. The man from San Mateo will arguably go down as the greatest player to have ever stepped foot on an NFL pitch. While Brady had the talent and worked incredibly hard to make sure he achieves success, a lot of outside factors have also contributed to his success.
His parents played a huge role in his success early on and, more recently, his wife of 13 years Gisele Bundchen. The two started dating in 2006 and got married in 2009. Ever since then, Bundchen has been a pillar of support for Brady and has been present for all of his biggest victories as well as the most crushing defeats. Unfortunately, this time around, as Brady gears up to go into his 22nd season, he does not have the support of his wife.
Tom Brady defied his wife’s wishes to continue his NFL career
At the end of last season, Brady announced his retirement from football. The former New England Patriots man stated that he wanted to spend time with his family and therefore was stepping away from the sport. A few weeks later, Brady stated that he would be reversing his decision and playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.
This has not gone down well with his wife, who is understood to be extremely angry at his decision to return to the sport so much so that rumors of a divorce between the two are at an all-time high.
According to a source close to ‘The Sun’, “He’s very sad at the moment. Friends know they’ve had a serious disagreement this time. It seems that Gisele gets mad and says things like she’s leaving him, but in the past, they’ve always made up. But maybe this time it is more serious. He’s with the kids, and is just trying to be super dad.”
Our work is unfinished. So let's get to it.
