Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen divorce details emerge in new biography
A forthcoming biography by Lars Anderson, titled ‘Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness’, reveals new details regarding the 2022 divorce of NFL legend Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
According to the book, Bündchen reportedly ended their 13-year marriage by telling Brady, ‘We’re not compatible,’ a decision influenced by her interest in astrology. The text suggests that long-standing tensions arose from Brady’s refusal to retire from football, a subject Bündchen allegedly raised as early as the 2017 Super Bowl.
Additional claims in the biography describe Bündchen sending a handwritten letter in 2018 demanding more presence and support at home. During Brady’s final NFL season, observers within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization reportedly noted his significant weight loss and emotional distress, with one coach describing his appearance as looking like a ‘cancer patient’ due to extreme stress.
The book characterizes the divorce as a major turning point in Brady’s life, noting the professional and personal imbalances caused by his intense athletic career and the subsequent impact on his public image.
