When Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's marriage finally broke

Key Points:

• Gisele Bündchen decided to end her marriage with Tom Brady in August 2022 after a serious discussion at a private Bahamas resort, following Brady's 11-day absence from Buccaneers training camp.
• Their relationship had been strained due to Brady's decision to continue playing football after winning his sixth Super Bowl and coming out of retirement in March 2022, despite Bündchen's wishes.
• Bündchen, influenced by astrology and possibly spiritual advice, concluded they were incompatible, leading to their divorce announcement in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
• Brady appeared emotionally drained and joyless upon returning to training camp, with teammates noting his regret over unretiring, especially after witnessing a teammate's severe injury during practice.
• Bündchen later married her Jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, in December 2024, and they welcomed their first child together in February 2025.
