Tom and Gisele: Maybe Greenwich? Maybe not?
GREENWICH — The on-again, off-again saga of where Tom Brady is making a home is still generating questions among football fans and the media.
Boston sports commentators and news outlets ended months of speculation earlier this week when they reported that Brady and his wife, entrepreneur and model Gisele Bundchen, had moved to a new home in Greenwich.
But later this week, those reports were said to be premature, according to NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran.
Citing unnamed sources close to the New England Patriots quarterback, Curran said, “They do not have a house in Connecticut.”
Speculation has focused on a house on Lower Cross Road, but a representative from Compass Real Estate later stated that speculation that Tom Brady had made the purchase was incorrect.
Thursday at Town Hall there was no new information available at the Town Clerk or Assessor’s offices to indicate whether Brady and Bundchen had indeed bought a house in Greenwich, a process that could easily be masked through use of a limited liability corporation. However, they did acknowledge a lot more questions from local and national media looking for clues about whether the star quarterback and his family are moving to town.
The original report that Brady was buying in Greenwich appears to have come from a website called Homes of the Rich last year, acting on a tip from a local builder. But that website has now called the house purchase in backcountry Greenwich a “rumor.”
Brady will be a free agent on March 18 for the first time in his NFL career, and he has been somewhat vague about his plans.
