Since you’re a quarterback in professional football and big men are often trying to tackle you to the ground, you figure they have nothing to fear, right? Not in the opinion of Tom Brady, who allegedly worried about being divorced from Gisele Bundchen after 13 years of marriage.
Many have speculated that the reason for Bundchen’s finalized divorce from the former New England Patriot is that the quarterback chose to play in the NFL into his 40s with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bundchen is the mother of his two children, Benjamin and Vivian.
And now the romance is officially over because she’s dating fellow Brazilian Joaquim Valente, who acted as both a mentor and a coach for her Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Brady was always concerned about this since he was scared about having to deal with co-parenting stress again after splitting up with Bridget Moynahan, with whom he had a child, in 2006.
“Tom would actually agree that co-parenting hasn’t been easy,’ A source informed DailyMail.com. “There has been a lot of love lost in their relationship and navigating through that and their careers and finding new love has not been easy.
“It is safe to say that Tom and Gisele never expected to break up. He never wanted to divorce, especially since his relationship with Bridget ended, and dealing with that to get to a place of good co-parenting took some time.
To do it all over again has been stressful. It is just a sad situation because family is so important to both of them and to not be a complete family sets many struggles moving forward.”
Tom Brady is going to make co-parenting work.
The mother of his two children is the one with whom the seven-time Super Bowl champions are keen to work out a co-parenting arrangement. Similarly, Bundchen is deeply attached to her children and will put their needs ahead of her own.
Therefore, after going through a difficult breakup, they’re finally starting to see how they interact as co-parents and possibly friends rather than as husband and wife, and they’ll be able to build a strong bond.
“Like everything, they will get there,” the source added. “Because they aren’t getting back together, but Gisele and Tom have gone through a bunch of sadness to be where they are now, which is leaps and bounds better than it has been.
“As much as it is not ideal, they are both determined to get there somehow. They both agree that the benefit of their kids is what matters, and [Gisele] wasn’t lying when she said they have good days and bad days. It is a process, especially in the public eye.”
