NFL superstar Tom Brady announced Friday that he and wife Gisele Bündchen have divorced after 13 years.

Rumors about the status of Brady’s marriage have been part of the public conversation for several months, since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback briefly retired in January before soon after electing to return for a 23rd NFL season, apparently angering Bündchen. The 45-year-old Brady announced Friday on Instagram that he and the 42-year-old Brazilian supermodel had recently finalized their divorce.

“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” Brady wrote in part. “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parts to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”

Brady and Bündchen married in 2009 after being set up on a blind date three years earlier. They have two children together, 12-year-old son Benjamin and 9-year-old daughter Vivian. Brady also has an older son, 15-year-old John Edward, with actress Bridget Moynahan.

Brady played the first 19 seasons of his NFL career with the New England Patriots, with which he won six Super Bowls. The NFL’s career leader in just about every major statistical passing category, he won a record seventh Super Bowl with Tampa Bay after the 2020 season.
