David Beckham has been spending a significant amount of time with Tom Brady and has even been involved in the NFL legend's dating life. However, a source has exclusively informed In Touch that the bromance may be coming to an end now that the soccer star has become close with his friend's ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
David, 49, recently utilized his chiseled appearance for his inaugural Hugo Boss campaign, which featured Naomi Watts and Gisele, 44, both modeling titans. The Brit's situation is further complicated by the fact that he has not only filmed a one-off series for the brand, but has also become an ambassador for BOSS. This implies that there will likely be much more collaboration with his friend's ex in the future.
However, the source further clarifies that David's latest move has Tom looking over his shoulder at another potential rival, which is a danger to his already situationally-dependent friendship.
“Working with Gisele sends a clear signal to the media that David isn’t messing around,” according to the source told In Touch Weekly. “He wants to be a relevant fashion and sports brand for decades to come and Tom is his main competition. This is a shocking moment for people who have paid attention to how competitive these guys are, despite their very loose friendship.”
In February 2023, Tom declared to the world that his professional football career had concluded "for good," The New York Times reported. However, the source asserts that he is now directing his on-field energy toward his post-retirement pursuits, which include broadcasting and the development of a personal brand that extends beyond his team and role as a player. He has always been a ferocious competitor.
The source claims that Tom and David have been vying for the same audience for decades, but with Tom's retirement and subsequent attempts to break into broadcasting, the competition has entered a new phase.
Under normal circumstances, there would be an abundance of endorsement agreements and television spots available for legendary sports icons such as David and Tom. However, David's enthusiasm for collaborating with Tom's ex-wife may potentially disrupt their friendship.
In October 2022, Gisele and Tom filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, E! Online reported. During this time, Tom won seven Super Bowls and Gisele was featured on the covers of 1,200 publications. The couple appeared to be a perfect power couple. On the same day that they filed, the court declared their marriage to be "irretrievably broken" and dissolved.
In the years that have passed, the former Patriot has been exceedingly sensitive regarding his divorce, particularly in response to quips about his ex-wife during his Netflix roast. The insider also mentions that Tom is not retiring silently, but rather is utilizing his broadcasting platform to resolve disputes with other players.
According to the source, although these two are "friends," David lacks Tom's arrogance. He should visit the TV booth weekly to voice his disapproval of his former coworkers and teammates. As far as David is concerned, he can keep generating a ton of money even after that. The main distinction between him and Tom is that.
