Bundchen and Brady have reportedly hired divorce lawyers and Bucs star Brady was pictured this week without his wedding ring on.
Brady’s obsession with football, and his dramatic unretiring from the sport earlier in 2022, are said to be central reason’s behind Bundchen’s unhappiness.
Speaking on his ‘Let’s Go’ podcast, Brady discussed his life balance with NBA and Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant and how his attitude hasn’t changed across his lengthy career.
‘Me being 45 now, do I think the same way? I almost look at a football season like going away on deployment,’ Brady said. ‘There’s only one way to do it.
‘We’ve talked (on the podcast) from time to time on how you enjoy certain moments of it. The reality of it is you can really only be authentic to yourself.
‘Whatever you may say – “I want to spend a little bit more time doing this” – during the season, the reality is when it comes down to it your competitiveness takes over and as much as you want to have this playful balance with the work balance, you’re going to end up doing what you’ve always done and that is why you are who you are.’
