Tom Brady Had To 'Check' Himself When Gisele Bündchen Was Not 'Satisfied' With Their Marriage

Making compromises is a part of marriage, and it’s something Tom Brady is no stranger to!

As you’re aware, the NFL star recently announced his departure from the New England Patriots after 20 seasons with the team, but that’s not the only big change he’s had to make.

The 42-year-old chatted with Howard Stern on Wednesday about the understanding he and Gisele Bündchen previously reached about their marriage:

“There was a couple years ago, she didn’t feel 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 the sudden when the season would end, that I’d be like, ‘Great, let me get into all my other business activities. Let me get into my football training.'”

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback continued

“And she’s sitting there going, ‘Well, when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?'”

You tell ’em, girl!!

The supermodel ended up writing her husband a “heartfelt letter” saying she was unhappy with him. Brady added:

“That was a big part of our marriage and I had to check myself because she’s like, ‘I have my goals and dreams, too. You better start taking care of things at the house.'”

He had to make sure to keep himself in “check” moving forward, leading to a “big transition” to improve their relationship:

“She wasn’t satisfied with our marriage. So I needed to make a change in that.”

And it seems her message has stuck! He mentioned on The Howard Stern Show that he kept the letter and still reads it.

In an effort to spend more quality time with his wife and their 10-year-old son Benjamin and 7-year-old daughter Vivian, Tom stopped attending voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs) with the Patriots in 2018 and 2019. He is also dad to 12-year-old Jack from his relationship with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan.

He admitted to the radio host:

“I had to make a big transition in my life to say, I can’t do all the things that I wanted to do for football like I used to. I gotta take care of things in my family, because my family — the situation wasn’t great. She wasn’t satisfied with our marriage.”
