How did Gisele Bündchen announce her divorce from Tom Brady?

After weeks of speculation, NFL superstar Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen have announced the finalization of their divorce. The pair posted similar messages on Instagram Stories almost simultaneously, with both emphasising that “co-parenting” their children would be their priority.

Unlike Brady, Bündchen explained how she and Brady had “grown apart” but said she “only wished the best for Tom always”.

“With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce. My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve.

The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.

I kindly ask that our privacy be respected during this sensitive time.

Thank you.”

Bündchen’s ultimatum to Brady

It is widely believed that Brady’s reluctance to put his marriage with Bündchen ahead of his NFL career was the root of their martial issues, with the supermodel reportedly issuing her now ex-husband with an ultimatum to choose between the two.
