American football superstar Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen have finalised their divorce after 13 years of marriage, the seven-time Super Bowl winner said on Friday.
Brady, who plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, said on Instagram that they decided to end their marriage after “much consideration”. Brady and Bundchen have two children together — son Benjamin Rein and daughter Vivian Lake. Brady is also father to son John with Bridget Moynahan.
“In recent days, my wife and I finalised our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” Brady said.
“We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the centre of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
Brady, 45, who announced his retirement from American football in February but reversed his decision in March, said ending their marriage was “painful and difficult”.
Bundchen, 42, said they had “amicably” finalised the divorce. “My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve,” she said on Instagram.
