Tom Brady has had a turbulent year so far. Earlier this year, he called an end to his remarkable career, leaving his fans in tears. However, just after a month into his retirement, he announced that he was coming back from his retirement to play for his 23rd season. The NFL fanbase was left ecstatic as the legend did a U-turn on his retirement.

However, this has taken a toll on his personal life. There have been growing rumors that Brady and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, are heading for separation. Recently, tennis legend Rennae Stubbs appealed to people to stop making fun of Brady’s divorce news.
