Tom Brady's 13-year marriage ended after brutal three-word comment from Gisele Bundchen

The brutal three-word comment which ended Tom Brady's 13-year marriage with ex wife Gisele Bundchen has emerged in a new book.

Brady and Bundchen, who share two children together, announced their split in October 2022. The divorce was a central subject matter on Brady's Netflix comedy roast.

On Instagram, Bundchen said, "I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always".

Tom Brady was told his marriage was finished in brutal fashion

Bundchen has since re-married with jiu-jitsu teacher Joaquim Valente, tying the knot in December 2025 after giving birth to a boy in February.

But a new book about the NFL icon details the remark which saw the end of the relationship between Brady and the Brazilian model.

Details of 'Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness,' by Lars Anderson, released on 23 November, have been shared by the Daily Mail.

The book states that an individual close to the seven-time Super Bowl champion told Anderson that Brady was told by his wife that they were no longer compatible, hence their marriage ending.

The insider said: “One day, Gisele, who is really into astrology, basically looked into the stars and told Tom, ‘We’re not compatible,'.

It is then written that Bundchen was "done" from that point onwards and eventually divorce was settled and finalised.

As per Anderson, a New York Times best-selling journalist, Bundchen wanted Brady to retire following the 2017 Super Bowl where his New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons.

After his sixth Super Bowl, she is alleged to have asked him, “Would now be the perfect time to retire?”

But Brady is reported to have responded, saying, "Too bad, babe. I’m having too much fun right now".

The Patriots lost the 2018 Super Bowl to Philadelphia Eagles and Bundchen is said to have had raised issues about Brady not being "present when he was at home" and wanted a version that wasn't regularly "responding to text messages on his constantly buzzing cell phone or replaying a game in his mind".

A former teammate of Brady's said it must have been "tiresome" for Bundchen because of the life he lived.

Brady signed with Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and claimed a seventh Super Bowl win.

He announced retirement on February 1, 2022, before returning to the sport for a final season and hang up his cleats for good the following year.

The book details that in August 2022, he left the Buccaneers training camp for a period of 11-days in a desperate attempt to save his marriage.

He is said to have headed to a private resort in the Bahamas but the move was ultimately unsuccessful in keeping the marriage alive.

Brady is a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders NFL franchise, has a whopping $375million broadcasting deal with Fox and is also a minority owner of Birmingham City in the second tier of English football.

He has been linked with a number of women in a romantic sense but is currently believed to be single.
