It looks like some fingers are being pointed following Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady’s divorce was finalized.
A source close to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB claims it was never Tom’s idea to end his marriage to the supermodel.
The source exclusively told PEOPLE, TB was prepared to do “whatever it took to make things work.”
Brady Was Willing To Do Anything & Everything To Make Marriage Work
“This was not Tom’s idea,” the source said about the couple’s decision to divorce, before doubling down, “This was never Tom’s idea.”
Despite coming out of retirement against his wife’s discretion, the football star “wanted to do whatever he needed to do to fix things” with Gisele.
The couple finalized their divorce on Friday, October 28th, and both released statements.
Divorce Was "Never Tom's Idea"
Taking to her Instagram Story, Gisele opened up about her and Tom’s decision to end their 13-year marriage.
“With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce. My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve,” her statement read. “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed. For the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always. I kindly ask that our privacy be respected during this sensitive time.”
PEOPLE’s source was insistent that Tom “didn’t want the divorce and he didn’t want the marriage to end.”
He was reportedly “willing to go to therapy, marriage counseling… whatever it took to make things work.”
The QB’s statement regarding their divorce read, “In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration. Doing so, is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world. However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written.”
Gisele & Tom Finalized Their Divorce On October 28th
The star QB concluded his statement, “And we kindly as for privacy and respect as we navigate what is to come in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you.”
Both Tom and Gisele attended a mandatory “Parent Education and Family Stabilization” course before finalizing the end of their marriage.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Tom completed the course on October 25th and Gisele completed it the following day on the 26th.
Tom “didn't want the kids to have divorced parents; he wanted to work this out,” per PEOPLE.
Gisele Felt Tom's Efforts Came A Bit "Too Little, Too Late"
He attempted to “make things work, and to make things right,” but his supermodel wife felt that “it was a little bit too little, too late.”
The source revealed, “She gave him a lot of opportunities to fix things, and he didn’t.”
Throughout the course of their 13-year marriage, and especially towards the end of it, Tom’s NFL career took precedent.
This left Gisele feeling that “he wasn’t hearing what she was saying.”Days before finalizing their divorce, Tom announced he would NOT be retiring anytime soon.
