Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen Say They Have Divorced

Brady, 45, has played professional football for more than two decades, and Bündchen, 42, has publicly spoken about wanting him to retire and spend more time with their family. Brady retired after last season, then reversed his decision and chose to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Since they met, Brady, a star quarterback, and Bündchen, a supermodel, have been a high-profile couple, constantly under the public eye. By the time they had met, Brady had already won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and Bündchen was one of the most famous people in the world, a top-earning model and a fixture on magazine covers.

In the time that they were together, Brady went on to win four more championships, including one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Bündchen often seen supporting him at games and during trophy celebrations.

Brady and Bündchen married in 2009, after meeting through a friend and going on their first date in 2006.

“The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, ‘That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!’” Bündchen told the magazine in 2009. “We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for Christmas, but I didn’t want to leave. You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other.”
