LAWYER UP!

Tom Brady claimed his un-retirement from the NFL was due to “unfinished the business of his marriage that may be finished, after all. A Star source reveals that Tom and wife Gisele

Bündchen have each hired divorce lawyers as simmering tensions in their 13-year union have come to a head.

The rift between the 45-year-old and his model wife, 42, centered on the quarterback’s decision to play another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite admitting in 2020 that his football-centric life “doesn’t work” for his wife. In recent weeks, the pair have led separate lives. As Tom has occupied himself with football, Gisele jetted on solo trips to Costa Rica and NYC. “In the past, Gisele rarely missed a [football] game,” says a source. “Her absence [this season] has been noted.”

It’s gotten so bad that each has sought legal advice, says the source. No wonder: Their assets include Tom’s $250 million fortune, Gisele’s net worth of $400 million, and multiple properties, including the unfinished remodel of their $17 million Miami mansion. “No one in their close circles can believe it’s really come to this,” says the source

power couple, who share kids Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9. “Gisele is giving every indication that she doesn’t want to be in this marriage, and if she doesn’t, better believe that Tom doesn’t either,” says the source. “It could be the end of an era.”
