After 13 years of marriage, it seems as though Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bündchen, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, are going their separate ways as reports recently came in, confirming both individuals hired a divorce lawyer.
The speculation that the two were in rocky waters began when the 45-year-old quarterback unexpectedly took an 11-day break from training camp in August due to “personal reasons.”
Now, Camille Kostek, the girlfriend of Rob Gronkowski -- one of Brady's former teammates -- is speaking out.
Camille Kostek Hopes Brady and Bündchen Reconcile
Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend, Camille Kostek, recently spoke out in regard to Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's divorce rumors.
Kostek was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport on October 13, to which a paparazzi asked if she thought Brady and Bündchen could work through their ongoing issues. She replied with a confident "yes" twice and then adding, "I love Tom and Gisele so much."
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s Marital Problems
Tom Brady made headlines a few weeks before the NFL season officially kicked off when he took an unexpected 11-day break from training camp in August due to “personal reasons”, according to Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles.
After Brady returned to training camp from his 11-day absence, he released a statement saying, “Everyone has different situations they’re dealing with, and we all have unique challenges to our lives. I’m 45 years old, man.”
Reports then began speculating that he and his wife of 13 years, Gisele Bündchen, were having marital problems and were taking some time apart.
Is the NFL To Blame For Brady's Marital Issues?
After the rumors surfaced, some blamed Brady’s decision to come out of retirement and return to the NFL as the main issue. However, since then, a source close to the couple spoke out, saying Brady’s decision to come out of retirement is not to blame for the marital issues the two are facing and those rumors are completely false.
Other sources have come forward, making it clear that Brady needs to seriously consider retirement at the end of this year in order for his marriage to work. “She doesn’t hate that he’s playing football, but she sure hates the way he handled the retirement and coming back,” the source said. “He knows that, and he’s doing what he can do to smooth things over. He does know that this is his last season if he wants to stay married. He can’t do this again.”
Since then, both Brady and Bündchen hired their own divorce lawyers, and the Brazilian fashion model was seen without her wedding ring.
Tom Brady's Current NFL Season
Tom Brady is still playing football, quarterbacking for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have not had the best NFL start.
Yesterday, Brady went 25/40 and threw for 243 yards and one touchdown in the 20-18 loss against the Steelers. He was seen screaming at his offensive line on the sideline during the game.
Brady and the Buccaneers will take on the Carolina Panthers next week in Charlotte.
