The couple's separation came in the wake of a falling out over Brady's decision to unretire after previously calling it quits on his football career in February 2022.

"There's been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire," a source told Page Six at the time. "Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind."

In a shocking turn of events, Brady announced this year that he was retiring from football "for good."

Following his announcement, Bündchen shared on social media that she wishes him "only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life."

The ex-footballer is arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, winning seven Super Bowl titles alongside numerous NFL records while playing for the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
