Tom Brady shuts down marriage-woes rumors: He and Gisele are ‘in a great place’
All’s well in Gisele and Tom’s world -- that according to embattled NFL quarterback Tom Brady, whose marriage to supermodel Gisele Bundchen has been fodder for the gossips since Deflategate rocked the NFL last spring.
“We’re in a great place,†the New England Patriots quarterback said Tuesday on Boston’s WEEI‘s “Dennis & Callahan†show. “I’ll just say that.â€
Brady, 38, has been wed to the supermodel since 2009, and they have two children together: son Benjamin, 5, and daughter Vivian, 2. (Brady also has a son from his relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.) Despite reports to the contrary, the football star said his wife has been incredibly supportive.
“I’m a lucky man. I’ve been very blessed with support from my family and certainly her,†he said. “There’s no bigger supporter than I have than her and vice versa. I’ve been very blessed to have an incredible relationship with my life partner. I don’t think anything would ever get in the way of that.â€
Rumors of marital troubles have been swirling around the comely couple since the AFC championship, when Brady was said to have been aware that staffers had purposely deflated game balls. The controversy was resolved last week when a judge tossed out the athlete’s upcoming four-game suspension.
Last month, reports alleged that the Super Bowl MVP had become “very nasty and irritable†and would act out against the former Victoria’s Secret Angel. Suspicions arose again over the summer after the couple apparently didn’t spend their birthdays together, Us Weekly said. (Bundchen did, however, post a gushy photo wishing her man a happy day.)
Meanwhile, People sources denied rumors of discord saying that the two are “living their life and doing great,†despite stress on their relationship from the scandal.
The two have put up a united front, with the Brazilian stunner accompanying her husband to court and practice last week.
Over the weekend, Bundchen, 35, posted a picture of Brady playing in the grass with Vivian. She captioned it: “and my heart melts ... #biggestlove #familyâ€
