NFL and entertainment fans were handed a shock when it was revealed that superstar quarterback Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen had a series of fights recently, following which the latter left her Florida home for Costa Rica. While Gisele has left the couple’s residence in Tampa, Florida, Brady has remained at the house for pre-season training with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

According to reports, the series of fights that ended with Gisele leaving her home to travel to Costa Rica was because of Brady’s decision to come out of retirement to play for the Bucs.

The couple has fought several times in the past but has always reunited. However, this time, it is serious as the two are set for a divorce. The New York Post reported on October 4 that both Brady and Bundchen have hired divorce lawyers since the fight.

The couple has a son and a daughter named Benjamin and Vivian, while Gisele is also the stepmother of Brady’s firstborn son, Jack. Reports suggest that Giselle has always taken care of the children in Brady’s absence to play in the NFL and her husband’s decision to come out of retirement has not sat well with her.

When Brady retired from the NFL, he had agreed to take care of the kids and focus on the family more. However, it seems that he changed his mind later.

Gisele had told British Vogue earlier this year that people need to work to maintain their relationships, especially after kids.

“I don’t think relationships just happen; it’s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is. It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids,” she said.

The supermodel also revealed that while Brady’s focus remains on his career, it is she who focuses on the well-being of the children.

Brady has also previously revealed their problems publicly. During an appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show, he said that his wife did not feel that Brady was focusing on his family.

“A couple of years ago, (Gisele) didn’t feel like I was doing my part for the family,” he said.

“She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house,” he added.

Brady also revealed that Gisele was not satisfied with the marriage and admitted he needed to work towards balancing his career and his family.
