Just a year ago, at the beginning of October 2022, the media leaked that both the Gisele Bündchen as much as Tom Brady they had hired divorce lawyers. After a summer in which US media spoke of a clear distance between the couple, who had been together for almost 15 years, this latest news, combined with the fact that they had been living in different homes for a few weeks, seemed like the chronicle of a foretold death. So it happened.

A few weeks later, in late October, the couple publicly announced their decision to separate with a short joint statement via their social media accounts. The final act of their separation was “played out” in a court in Florida. The couple divorced after 13 years of marriage. Since then, both have not said much on the matter.

Tom Brady has been the most… silent on the matter. More distant from the media, he grants few interviews, especially after his final retirement from the field of sports last February. In September, he revealed some details about his divorce in a podcast of his own. In it, the athlete admitted that dealing with this breakup was difficult, especially when he was so exposed.

As he told his teammates, he often heard people talk about him saying, “I love Tom Brady, but…” and that those “buts” are personal issues that he needs to continue to work on. “I’m probably a bit compulsive, with different things in my life. I like to try to keep things under control and stability,” she said.
“I try to learn more about myself every day. We all need to be self-aware. For someone like me, I’m very much in the limelight. I always try to say the right thing. I don’t want to face any more drama in my life. I already have a lot of drama,” he confessed, aware that he is being watched after his high-profile split, but not wanting to mention his ex-wife’s name or the specific situation.

In November of last year, just days after the world learned of their split, Tom Brady was the first to talk about it during an appearance on the same podcast. “The good news is that it’s a very friendly situation and I’m really focused on two things: taking care of my family and certainly my kids and secondly doing the best job I can to win races. That’s what professionals do.”

In recent months, and especially in the summer, he has been seen with Irina Shayk. The two have been out together in Los Angeles, where they were seen picking her up at her hotel. In September, they were spotted together at her New York apartment. Sources familiar with the situation said they have a relationship that is, for now, unofficial.

43-year-old Gisele Bündchen has been clearer about their split from the beginning. In an exclusive interview with “People” magazine, she spoke openly about the difficult period she went through. “It was very difficult for my family. It was a lot – in every area of ​​my life. I feel like whenever it rains, it rains. With all the different twists and turns life takes, all we can do is the best we can, given what’s going on around us.” The model said that meditation, her daily exercise (yoga, weights and walking) and diet have helped her. She and her children have now settled in Miami.

A few days after that interview, the Brazilian model gave an interview to CBS and explained how hard it was for her to accept that her marriage was falling apart. “Our separation was not what I dreamed and hoped for. My parents have been married for 50 years and I really wanted this to happen.” Finally, she said that she feels grateful for their relationship, as her two children were born as a result of it. “He is the father of my children, so I will always wish him the best.”

Finally, in an interview she gave to the magazine “Vanity Fair” five months after announcing the end of her marriage, she confessed that the divorce was “the death of a dream”. “A death and a rebirth…”.
