Unfortunately, after 13 years of marriage, Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bündchen, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, are going their separate ways as reports came in that they both hired their own divorce lawyers.

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.”

“You’re so much better than the way you’re f***ing playing,” Brady reportedly said in the heated moment, which was caught by FOX’s live broadcast.
