The NFL quarterback star and supermodel announced they finalized divorce proceedings in recent days, ending their 13-year marriage.
The Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback, currently playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his supermodel wife announced that in recent days they had finalized divorce proceedings, ending their 13-year marriage.
The two posted separate statements to their Instagram stories announcing the news.
In her statement, Bündchen writes in part that the pair “amicably” ended things, “with much gratitude for our time together.”
“My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart,” she adds. “We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve.”
In separate post, Brady echoes Bündchen’s comments about their amicable separation and gratitude for their time together.
“We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way,” he writes. “We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
He adds that they “arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration.”
Calling the move “painful and difficult,” he shared that they wish each other the best “as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written.”
The news comes amid reports that the two had been struggling in their marriage as Brady unretired this year and returned to playing football for the Bucs.
Brady and Bündchen were married in 2009 and the pair share two kids. Brady also has a third child, a son, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
