If you ve been following their relationship in recent months you ll probably have heard that an alleged rift between Tom and Gisele has developed over his decision to unretire from football — just 40 days after announcing his retirement on Feb 1

Tom Brady @TomBrady These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa.

Despite his decade-spanning dedication to his career a third source told People that Tom still spends a great deal of time with Gisele their two kids Benjamin 12 and Vivian 9 and his 15-year-old son John whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan

And in spite of earlier reports claiming that Gisele and Tom have hit a rough patch over his decision to play for another season insiders were quick to make clear last week that a split isn t in the cards

Gisele was notably absent for Tom s return to the football field during the Bucs first game of the 2022-2023 season on Sept 12 bolstering claims of a fallout behind the scenes

I don t think relationships just happen it s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is she explained admitting that she takes on the bulk of parenting duties His focus is on his career mine is mostly on the kids And I m very grateful that he lets me take the reins when it comes to our family He trusts my decisions

Similarly Tom talked about his and Gisele s parenting dynamics in an interview with Howard Stern in 2020 saying candidly There was a couple years ago she didn t feel like I was doing my part for the family

She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house And then all of a sudden a season would end and I d be like Great let me get into all my other business activities Let me get into my football training And she s sitting there going Well when are you going to do things for the house When are you going to take kids to school and do that he explained

Tom recalled making a conscious transition to be more present after realizing that Gisele wasn t satisfied with their marriage also going on to reveal that she wrote him a heartfelt letter to explain her feelings at the time

Mike Coppola

You can get caught up in your life where you think a relationship is great because it only works for you the football star reflected The point of a relationship it has to work for both You better work on both because if you don t ultimately it s not sustainable
