The talks about Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady's marital woes intensify after his model wife didn't show up at Tampa Bay Buccaneers' fight against the Green Bay Packers at the Buc's home opener on Sunday, September 25. To make matters worse, the couple's kids, Vivian Lake and Benjamin Rein, were there, but their mother was a no-show.
Brady got a sweet hug from his two kids with Bündchen and his 15-year-old son Jack, who he shared with ex Bridget Moynahan. However, the quarterback's mom and sisters brought the children to the game instead of the Victoria's Secret Angel.
A source, allegedly, close to the pair told Page Six that the footballer was "hopeful" that his wife would "put her disappointment aside" to show her support to his team. The 42-year-old star has been known for mostly attending home games, but she wasn't seen in the game this time.
Brady and the rest of the Bucs would love to see her and the kids in the stands, but only the children were there.
For starters, Bündchen and Brady have reportedly been experiencing marriage problems due to the latter's decision to reverse his retirement from the NFL earlier this year. This made the Brazilian beauty seriously upset that she left him in Tampa to fly to their vacation home in Costa Rica to have some space.
A different source told HollywoodLife that Bündchen would never want Brady to give up his dreams and passion for her and the kids, knowing how important football was for him. However, she seemed to can't help but be upset after he broke his promise to retire finally.
The insider continued that this ordeal gave Bündchen a hard time handling her emotions. "They made a deal when he would retire, and she feels lied to at this point," the tipster explained.
Hence, another source told CNN that they are now "living separately." To recall, Brady retired from the NFL in February, only to reverse his decision later.
He then took an 11-day leave of absence from training to camp to "deal with personal things" in August, his head coach Todd Bowles revealed.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Elle magazine, Bündchen revealed she had "concerns" about Brady's return to the game after his initial decision to retire. She called football a "very violent sport," and she and her children would like him to be more present in their lives.
She then admitted that they had conversations about it repeatedly, but ultimately, she knew everyone had to make a decision that would work for them. Bündchen understood Brady had to "follow his joy, too."
