Where Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s Marriage Went Wrong

That certainly wasn’t the first time Bündchen had voiced her fears about the long-term effect the game might have on her husband’s well-being. The 42-year-old courted controversy in 2017 when she said Brady had suffered a concussion at some point during the 2016-17 season—which, since that was never included in any Patriots injury report, was news to everyone. 

“I don’t think it’s a healthy thing for your body to go through,” she observed on CBS This Morning. “Through that kind of aggression, like, all the time. That cannot be healthy for you, right?” (Brady’s agent said the athlete was not diagnosed with a concussion during that time and the NFL said that medical records from the season supported that assertion.)

Neither confirming nor denying, Brady told ESPN, “She’s there every day. I mean, we go to bed in the same bed every night, so I think she knows when I’m sore, she knows when I’m tired, she knows when I get hit. We drive home together. But, she also knows how well I take care of myself. She’s a very concerned wife and very loving.”

Brady’s plans for his end game always sounded as if they included fully supporting Bündchen’s endeavors—once he had retired from the NFL. And we know how that’s gone.

“He did tell me that he was going to play only for 10 years, I just want to say that,” Bündchen recalled on the Facebook Watch docuseries Tom vs. Time, which premiered in January 2018. “When I met him in 2006 he said, ‘Listen, I’m just going to play for 10 more years and I’m going to win one [more] Super Bowl and I’m going to be happy.'”
