The Divorce Between Brady and Bündchen

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and Brazilian fashion model have officially reached a settlement ending their marriage. The Blast recently reported that the divorce documents will be officially filed today in Florida.

Reports have confirmed that the divorce lawyers for both Bündchen and Brady have been working with a mediator so that the two can come to an agreement in regard to property settlement and custody of their children. It seems the two have officially come to terms, but the terms of the settlement will remain confidential and sealed.

The speculation that the two were in rocky waters began when Tom Brady unexpectedly took an 11-day break from training camp in August due to “personal reasons.”

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.”

Although the rumors suggested Brady’s decision to unretire and return to the NFL is the reason to blame, another source, close to the Tampa Bay Bucs quarterback and the Brazilian fashion model, says that is not the case and those claims are “sexist.”

The divorce news comes weeks after reports confirmed Brady and Bündchen both hired divorce lawyers and were spotted without their wedding rings.
