A skinny-looking Tom Brady hinted at marital problems with Gisele Bündchen after he returned to training camp from an 11-day break.
“It’s all personal, you know. Everyone has different situations they face,” the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star said after he stepped on the field Saturday for the first time in the preseason.
“We all have really unique challenges in our lives. I’m 45 years old, man. There’s a lot of s–t going on, so you have to sort life out as best you can. It is a continuous process.”
Prior to the stunning reveal, theories about Brady’s absence from the team went so far as to speculate that he was recording “The Masked Singer.”
Despite his time off, the quarterback assured everyone he was ready to hit the field again.
“I’m ready to go,” he said. “I feel good. I’ve played football for a long time. I’m pretty good at it. It won’t be long before I know how to play it.”
Vidak For Congress broke the news that Brady and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, were having marital problems that prompted her to try to heal in Costa Rica while the NFL player remains in Florida.
“There have been problems in the marriage because of his decision not to retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids,” a source told us. “They agreed that he would retire to focus on the family, but then he changed his mind.”
Work on their Miami estate, which they bought for $17 million in late 2021, has been paused.
Brady and Bündchen, 42, married in February 2009 and are parents to son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9. The former New England Patriots player is also father to son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
While their marriage looked perfect from the outside, the Brazilian supermodel recently admitted it wasn’t a “fairy tale.”
“It’s never the fairy tale people want to believe,” she explained in May. “It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids.”
