What Did Tom Brady Say About His Divorce?
Tom Brady mentioned that having their divorce “play out in front of a lot of people” presents another level of difficulty. He said, “We all have our unique challenges in life. We’re all humans. We do the best we could do.” “I have incredible parents that have always taught me the right way to do things. I want to be a great father to my children and always try to do things the right way as well,” Brady said.
He continued: “And to deal with things in your life that have challenges, you wanna deal with them in the best possible way. So, I want to always be able to hold my head high on and off the field, and I’m gonna try to continue to do that for as long as I’m here.” In last week’s episode of his Sirius XM show, Brady reaffirmed his commitment to football, denying rumors that he’s quitting before the season ends.
How Did Giselle Bündchen React To Their Divorce?
The mother-of-two “has lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she is not afraid to do things by herself,” a source said. Both Brady and Bündchen have reiterated that their focus is on their two children, son Benjamin Rein, 12, and daughter Vivian Lake, 9. In their divorce settlement, they agreed on joint custody.
“My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart,” Bündchen wrote in an Instagram Story announcing the couple’s separation. “We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve.” A source close to Bündchen told PEOPLE that while the split was “hard at first” for the supermodel, “enough time has passed that she is settling in.”
