“My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart,” the Brazilian supermodel said in the statement. 

This caused the fans to believe she took a dig at Brady with her use of “my priority.” The couple did not see eye to eye on Brady’s decision to unretire and continue playing football. Bündchen wanted him to prioritize family over football. But the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star decided to give another shot at the Super Bowl ring. Brady has already won seven Super Bowl titles in his 22-year-long career. He is currently in pursuit of an eighth one.

Brady did announce his retirement at the end of the 2021 season, but reversed his decision in just over a month. Bündchen was reportedly not happy with this decision, as she thought Brady was prioritizing his NFL career over his family. That caused the couple to arrive at a decision of going their separate ways in life.

Brady has three children, 15-year-old Jack (from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan), 12-year-old Benjamin, and nine-year-old Vivian. Bündchen acted as the stepmom to Jack, once calling him her bonus child. The couple has decided that they will have joint custody of the two younger children after their divorce. While Brady will continue to live in Tampa, Bündchen will move to Miami.

Amid all this, his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling on the field. The team has lost three straight games and has a 3-5 record after eight games. An eighth Super Bowl ring seems a long shot now. As the Bucs take on the reigning Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams, can Brady turn it around to once again vindicate himself?
