Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has taken his toughest loss in the last 24 hours. Hours after the Buccaneers were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens, he is now single again.
His longtime wife Gisele Bündchen filed for divorce in Florida on Friday. The Brazilian Supermodel and Brady, the greatest football player alive, were married for 13 years.
The couple has several children together. Benjamin is 12 and Vivian is 9.
Bündchen was not pleased with Brady coming back this season. Reports said that she was worried about his life after football with the damage to his head.
He initially retire earlier this year. Then, in March after 40 days on the sidelines, he announced that he was coming back.
“The settlement is all worked out,” a source with knowledge of the situation tells PEOPLE. “They’ve been working on the terms this whole time.
“They agreed to joint custody of the kids.”
In September, reports began to circulate that the couple was struggling. Even the Thursday Night Football broadcast crew of Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit touched on Brady having a work-life balance.
Brady even commented “intense” when asked about his work-life balance before the Ravens game.
“She is the one steering the divorce,” the insider said. “She is playing offense and he is playing defense. He wants to protect himself, protect his interests, but he’s only starting to go the legal route in his defense from her. He doesn’t want this to be ugly, he doesn’t want to fight. If the divorce is happening — and it seems like it is — he wants it to go as smoothly as possible.”
With this divorce now behind him, Brady may play better football. He has not looked right since the divorce speculation began to circulate.
The Buccaneers have lost five of their last six games. This is the first time in Brady’s career that he has lost five of six in his career.
