His prolonged absence from the family, the physicality of the sport, and many other factors have heightened the fears of the catwalk model.
So what fractured the domestic bliss of 42-year-old Brazilian Gisele and NFL hero Tom?
Former Real Madrid and Manchester United star and five-times Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldobhas been linked to the simmering crisis between Brady and his wife, Gisele.
Ronaldo and Brady are reportedly close friends. In March, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a perfect hat-trick for Manchester United in his return to Old Trafford at 37.
The scenery reportedly gingered the NFL icon to announce that he is coming out of retirement as soon as possible.
Brady’s decision to return to the NFL did not sit well with his wife Gisele who had longed for her husband’s fulltime presence around the family.
“This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present”, Gisele was quoted as saying.
“I have definitely had those conversations with him.
‘I didn’t want to leave’
“But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works. He needs to follow his joy, too.”
Gisele had wanted Brady to devote more time to the family by quitting the sport; returning to the sport was a no from her.
Before Brady’s decision to return to the NFL which angered her, there were reports of misunderstandings between her and her husband.
Meanwhile, this new stand by Brady has seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel’s back, with the couple reportedly spotted without their wedding ring in the public as the row intensifies.
Tom and Gisele have two children together, Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 19, since they tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2009.
Ronaldo reportedly asked Brady after scoring the hat-trick if he is done with American football.
Brady had reportedly refuse to answer the question and had felt uncomfortable with the question.
Few hours after the question, Brady took to his social media handle and wrote,
“These past two months I’ve realised my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. Unfinished business.”
His decision to return to the sport have angered his wife, who, according to reports, have reportedly taken a decision to leave the marriage.
Gisele has reportedly left their Florida home, and there are reports that there will not be a turning back.
Gisele is reportedly worth £355m, while her husband’s net worth is valued at £222m. The duo are preparing their legal Arsenal to battle for the custody of the kids and how the properties will be shared.
