Gisele Bündchen showed social media support for Tom Brady’s first game of the NFL season amid their blowout fight.
“Let’s go @TomBrady! Let’s go Buks!”, the model, 42, tweeted on Sunday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beating the Dallas Cowboys 19-3.
However, according to People, Bündchen was not present at Brady’s season opener at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“It’s always a big party when Gisele comes to watch the game,” a source told the magazine last weekend.
“At the moment there is none of that for Sunday’s game,” the insider continued. “It feels very different this year than last year. … There’s nothing for her to be here for the first game of the regular season, and that seems weird.”
Vidak For Congress broke the news earlier this month that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel and the athlete, 45, are in the midst of an “epic fight” over Brady coming in for a 23rd season of football after his short-lived retirement.
“Gisele has always been the one with the kids,” a source told us at the time. “They had agreed that he would retire to focus on the family, but then he changed his mind.”
Brady hinted at tension in August when asked about his 11-day break from training camp.
“It’s all personal, you know. Everyone has different situations that they have to deal with,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion told the press last month. “We all have really unique challenges in our lives.”
Brady added that he had “a lot of things going on”, concluding: “[You’ve] you have to sort life out as best you can. It is a continuous process.”
He and Bündchen have been married since February 2009 and share son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9. (The quarterback is also the father of son Jack, 15, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.)
Bündchen wished her partner a happy birthday via Instagram in August, calling Brady one of the “most focused, disciplined and fashionable” people she knows.
“You are so loved and we are always here cheering for you and wishing you the best things in life! ❤️”, the creator of Sejaa Pure Skincare wrote with a photo of Benjamin and Vivian hugging their father.
Brady focuses on being a “super dad” to his little ones amid his marital strife, another source told Vidak For Congress, calling the NFL player “very sad.”
