Gisele Bündchen reportedly ended marriage over compatibility

Gisele Bündchen reportedly told Tom Brady that they were “not compatible” before the former couple ended their 13-year marriage in 2022.

The revelation has emerged in a forthcoming book about the retired NFL star, which explores Brady’s personal life, career, and the challenges he faced during his long journey in professional football.

According to the book, Bündchen, who has a strong interest in astrology, once looked at the stars and concluded that she and Brady were not compatible. She reportedly shared her thoughts with Brady and told him that their relationship was no longer working for her.

The book describes the moment as an important point in the breakdown of their marriage. Bündchen and Brady had been together for more than a decade and had built a family while Brady continued his successful NFL career.

Their relationship also reportedly faced tension over Brady’s decision to continue playing football. Bündchen had allegedly encouraged her husband to retire from the NFL for several years.

The issue reportedly became especially noticeable after the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2017. Following the major victory, Bündchen allegedly asked Brady if it would be the right time for him to retire.

Brady, however, was not ready to walk away from football. He reportedly responded that he was enjoying the game too much and wanted to continue playing.

The disagreement became even more complicated years later when Brady announced his retirement in February 2022. At the time, the football star appeared ready to leave the sport after an extraordinary career.

However, his retirement did not last long.

Brady later changed his mind and announced that he would return for another NFL season. He explained his decision on social media, saying that he had realized his place was still on the field rather than in the stands.

His return reportedly created additional pressure in his personal life. The book describes Brady as distracted after returning to training camp, with former teammates and coaches noticing changes in his focus.

During this period, Bündchen reportedly traveled to Costa Rica while Brady continued preparing for the new NFL season.

The couple eventually confirmed that their marriage was ending. Brady and Bündchen announced their divorce on October 28, 2022, bringing an end to their 13-year marriage.

At the time, Bündchen shared an emotional statement about their separation. She explained that the two had grown apart and acknowledged that ending their relationship was difficult.

Despite their divorce, she expressed gratitude for the years they had spent together and said that she would always wish Brady the best.

Brady and Bündchen share two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Both have continued to remain involved in their children’s lives following their separation.

Their divorce came after years of public interest in their marriage, particularly because of Brady’s demanding football career and Bündchen’s own successful modeling career.

Since their separation, both have continued with their personal lives and careers. Bündchen has since remarried Joaquim Valente, while Brady has remained connected to football through various professional and media projects.

The details surrounding their marriage and divorce have continued to attract public attention, especially because the couple had previously appeared to have a strong relationship while raising their family together.

The reported comments about compatibility and Brady’s decision to continue playing football offer another perspective on the challenges the couple faced before officially ending their marriage in 2022.
