Washington [US]October 29 (ANI): Famous American football quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen have announced their divorce after more than 13 years of marriage.
According to the New York Times, their divorce followed months of media speculation about Brady’s long playing career and its impact on their relationship.
Brady posted the announcement on social media on Friday and wrote, “We reached this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time spent together.”
He continued, “We came to this decision after much deliberation to end our marriage. Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, as is the case for many people who live together every day around the world. However, we only wish the best for each other as we follow through with whatever new chapters are yet to be written in our lives.”
Gisele also took to Instagram to share the news. She wrote, “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we are apart and of course, going through this is hard, I feel blessed for the time we were together and wish only the best for Tom are. Always.”
Brady has been a professional football player for over 20 years.
According to the New York Times, his team ‘Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ struggled somewhat earlier this season due to Brady’s deteriorating skills. Brady saw his first three-game losing streak since 2002 on Thursday night, when the Buccaneers fell 3-5 to the Baltimore Ravens.
Gisele Bundchen has previously made it clear that she wants him to retire so they can spend more time together as a family. After the 2019 season, Brady announced his retirement. However, he later changed his mind and decided to rejoin the Buccaneers, the team he led in the 2020 season to the Super Bowl, according to the New York Times.
Bundchen filed for divorce on Friday in Glades County, Florida. According to court documents, Bundchen and Brady settled their divorce earlier this week and came up with a parenting plan. The terms of the agreement were submitted to the court with confidence.
The New York Times further reports that both Brady and Bundchen earlier this week also ended the four-hour parenting education and family stabilization classes that are required in Florida when a divorced couple has young children.
Brady and Bundchen are parents to a 12-year-old son named Benjamin and a 9-year-old girl named Vivian. Brady also has a 15-year-old son named Jack from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. (ANI)
