Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback for the National Football League, and Gisele Bündchen, the supermodel, announced their divorce on Friday via social media. The pair “grew apart,” according to Bündchen, and the divorce came after Brady returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after initially declaring he was retiring.

“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” Brady said in an Instagram story on Friday. “…We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration. Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world.” 

Brady, 45, claimed that they are “blessed with beautiful and wonderful children” and that they will continue to parent them together.  Brady has a son, 15, from a former relationship with actor Bridget Moynahan in addition to his two children together.

He went on to say “We wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written”.

The 42-year-old Bündchen sent a statement of her own, expressing “great gratitude” for the couple’s time together.

“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,” she wrote. 

The news comes amid reports that Bündchen had retained divorce attorneys a few weeks prior to the announcement.

In order to keep the marriage together, “she remembers drafting him a letter basically stating what kind of spouse she needs him to be for her,”Triggs said. And he said in an interview afterward that it was a wake-up call for him and he knew he had to make some changes because of it.

NFL veteran and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady announced his retirement from the sport on February 1 so that he could devote his “time and energy on other things that deserve my attention.” After starting his NFL career with the Patriots, he signed with the Buccaneers in 2020.

A month and a half later, though, he reversed course.

“I’ve come to terms with the fact that the stands are not where my true home is. We are approaching that point now. However, that day has not yet come “On Twitter, of course.

While Brady and the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in his first season with the organization, this year has been a disaster for them.

Cube has already spoken out against the NBA, so this isn’t the first time he’s done so openly. In an interview with Basketball News published in June 2022, Cube discussed the status of the BIG3 within the NBA.

In regards to the BIG3, Cube says, “The NBA hasn’t been the nicest to the BIG3,”. “Of course, publicly, they say all the right words. But we know privately there’s things done behind the scenes [with] sponsors, broadcasts. It did tarnish my fandom a bit.”

After more than 20 years of success on the tennis court, Serena Williams has retired from the sport. Could be what she wants us to believe.

It was questioned of Williams on the September 13 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” if she might return to tennis.

What, Fallon questioned, “is there no chance you’ll do a Tom Brady and say, ‘Maybe I’m evolving to coming back?'”

Williams shot back, “You know what? Tom Brady started an amazing trend. That’s what I want to say.”

Brady has stated that he will retire from the NFL after the conclusion of the 2021 season. Forty days later, Brady reversed his decision and said he would resume playing.

Williams discussed retirement in great detail on the show.

“I think retirement is something that’s super-earned, that people work really hard for,” Williams said. “But I just feel like I’m at an age where I definitely have a lot more to give, there’s a lot more I want to do, so I’m not going to be relaxing. There is so much more for me and I feel it’s more like an evolution of Serena.

“There [are] so many things that I’ve been wanting to do for so many years and I have such a passion for tennis for so long that I have never done it but now it’s time for me to try to enjoy those things.”
