Multiple sources confirmed the shocking move, with a source explaining, "I never actually thought this argument would be the end of them, but it looks like it is. I don’t think there will be any coming back now. They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be."

Following the report of the looming divorce, a source close to the former New England Patriots revealed that he is "hurt" by the decision to split, which was heralded by the Brazilian fashion model. The insider explained:

"He feels very hurt by her. She is the one steering the divorce. She is playing offense and he is playing defense. He wants to protect himself, protect his interests, but he's only starting to go the legal route in his defense from her. He doesn't want this to be ugly, he doesn't want to fight. If the divorce is happening — and it seems like it is — he wants it to go as smoothly as possible."

Another source added that Brady’s marital woes are weighing heavily on him as he has never been one to face difficult issues in his life. "Think about it: Tom has had a very charmed life. Things always seem to go his way. He works hard, he's a good guy, he hasn't had a lot of things go wrong in his life. This is awful for him. You can tell that this really, really hurts," the source expounded on the matter.

Brady and Bündchen’s marital troubles date back to late August when the star athlete missed 11 days of pre-season practice due to "personal reasons." Shortly after, news broke that the "Taxi" actress left their Tampa Bay home in anger, and ever since, things haven’t been the same.

Per reports, the estranged couple, who was married for over 13 years, no longer live together, with Bündchen even refusing to bunk with the father of her kids during Hurricane Ian. She also hasn’t attended any of his games since the 23rd season of the NFL began in September.
