Tom Brady is entering a new chapter in his life after announcing that he is retiring from the NFL. The big move comes months after the football icon divorced supermodel Gisele Bündchen
The former power couple was married for more than a decade. Over the years, Brady’s family has become a significant part of his public persona.
The now-retired athlete highlighted this aspect of his journey by paying tribute to his ex-wife in his retirement video. Interestingly, Brady’s decision to continue his career in 2022 played a big role in the split.
Bündchen was not on board for another season in the NFL, so she opted to move in a different direction with her life. Although the divorce was handled quickly, there was some tension between the exes when rumors started linking the Brazilian bombshell to her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente.
However, all seems fine now for the parents of Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake. The businesswoman broke her silence after her former husband announced his retirement.
She posted a comment on Instagram to wish him well. She wrote: “Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life.” A prayer hand emoji accompanied the message.
While his friends are pushing him to find love again, Brady is reportedly not ready to get back on the dating scene. He has other priorities because a divorce from Bündchen was never part of his plans.
An insider spoke to Page Six and said: “Brady gave everything he had to his final NFL season, but now he’s ready to give everything to his family and his new life. He never thought that he and Gisele would get divorced. He didn’t want a divorce.”
A second source chimed in: “No, he isn’t formally dating anyone right now. His friends want to set him up, but he’s all about the kids.”
Brady’s entire focus right now is to adapt to his new life and make sure that his children feel comfortable through it all.
A person with knowledge of his thinking previously told the same publication: “Tom hopes his house on Indian Creek will be finished within six to eight months if things go to plan. Until then, he is renting. It offers him the privacy he needs and all the luxury he is used to. Plus, it is great for the kids.”
Now that he has retired, some are wondering if he could get his family back together. Observers say that this scenario is unlikely, and Brady’s football career was probably just the tip of the iceberg in his issues with Bündchen.
