Although rumors of their potential divorce made rounds months in advance, watching the couple part ways after 13 years of a fairytale romance had fans stunned. The woes that followed the QB after this life-altering event made the situation even worse.

But now, reports indicate that despite parting ways, the former couple is still on good terms. When Brady had to make the biggest decision of his career, he reportedly sought out his ex-wife. Here’s what is known about the situation.

Brady’s recent divorce caused quite a storm in the NFL world. Despite the quarterback’s age, fans expected Brady to return for another year. And surprisingly, the person he consulted with before deciding to step down was Gisele Bündchen. Us Weekly’s source said that the former couple, “talked this through before he came to the final decision.” The NFL world does not overlook the irony of the situation.

Brady and Bündchen are moving ahead

Last year Brady’s short-lived retirement saw him come back to the Buccaneers. According to speculation, his decision to continue his playing career is what caused the rift in his marriage. And now, exactly one year after his first retirement announcement, his second one came to public knowledge. It’s rather surprising to hear that TB12 consulted his ex-wife before making the decision, especially because things didn’t turn out too well the first time around.

But, keeping in mind that they still share the responsibility of raising their children, it’s understandable why he would keep her in the loop. Apart from that, Brady and Bündchen have spent the better part of the last two decades together. A strong connection like theirs won’t be put out easily. At present, both the QB and model are taking steps to move forward into new chapters of their lives. The NFL world will anticipate whatever lies ahead in the paths they choose to follow.
