During a stormy night,Gisele Bündchen propped herself against the headboard and read a book. Abruptly, the bedroom door swung open, her husband, Tom Brady, walked in.
Before Kallie could utter a word, Jake pressed his lips to hers, the smell of alcohol mingling with the rain’s freshness.
“Don’t move.” In a thick, persuasive tone, Jake commanded, his cold hand slid under her skirt, pressing firmly against her resisting leg.
Gisele Bündchen ceased her struggles, the pain escalating. She emitted faint, distorted noises.
At her sounds, Jake frowned and placed his hand over her mouth.
Being silenced, Gisele Bündchen clung to Tom’s muscular arm, her grip desperate as if anchoring herself in a tumultuous sea.
She was overwhelmed by the time Tom released her and headed for the shower.
Moments after Tom disappeared behind the bathroom door, his phone on the nightstand came to life.
Out of reflex, Gisele glanced at it and saw a new message flash on the screen. “Tom, I’m sorry, okay? Can you stop going back to your mute wife every time we fight? It’s really hurting me.”
The light faded from Gisele’s eyes. She realized she would never master the art of playful scolding or tender grievances shared softly in the quiet of night.
Due to a childhood illness, Gisele Bündchen’s voice had been stolen from her, leaving her unable to speak. She could only produce fragmented sounds, which even her own husband found unbearable to hear.
After the divorce, she learned that her ex-husband had quickly gotten engaged to the woman he truly loved. Holding her slightly rounded belly, she realized that he had never really cared for her.
Determined, she left him behind, treating him as a stranger. Yet, after she left, he scoured the globe in search of her…
Life hasn’t slowed down for Tom Brady in retirement.
The legendary quarterback, 47, told Stephen A. Smith he is “busier than ever” while juggling parenthood and his new career endeavors at Friday’s first-ever Fanatics Fest in New York City.
“I got a lot of things that keep me busy but still trying to be a great dad and be there for my kids,” Brady said.
Brady shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who divorced in October 2022. He is also dad to 16-year-old son Jack from a previous relationship.
Although Brady rarely gives insight into his and the supermodel’s co-parenting dynamic, he noted that raising kids is never easy — regardless of the situation.
“And all the parents out there know that it’s a challenge to be a good parent,” he told the live audience. “And all the kids I hope you appreciate your parents too! Because there’s a lot of work they put into making your life a little easier.”
When asked if his kids “run [his] life,” the New England Patriots legend emphatically replied, “Absolutely, yes!”
Every time they call me I know there is a request because when they don’t call I don’t hear from them,” the former NFL star joked. “And when I don’t hear from them I know they don’t want anything.”
Joking aside, Brady noted that his kids started to understand why he made certain sacrifices as they “got a little older.”
“They begin to appreciate …. as they get older and start to have the responsibilities of an adult,” he said. “When you’re working hard to be a dad and also provide for the family that does come with being away a bit and being really focused on my job.”
After retiring from the league in 2023, the seven-time Super Bowl champion took a year off to be with his family and launch his wellness brand, TB12.
However, the famed football star is set to make his return to the gridiron in a different fashion next month. In May, Brady signed a massive 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports to become their NFL analyst.
Although his weekends will likely be a bit busier again, Brady has been making the most of his time off — from fulfilling a Make-A-Wish request in New York City to walking out Morgan Wallen at his Las Vegas concert.
He also recently traveled to Paris to watch the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside his daughter — and documented the fun vacation for his new vlog series, “Last Week With Tom Brady.”
Before watching the games, the father-daughter duo spent time together in Italy celebrating the former football player’s 47th birthday. It’s unclear if his sons joined the European vacation, but the foursome went on a getaway to Montana a few weeks prior.
While little is known about Brady and Bündchen’s co-parenting and custody agreements, the exes hit a rough patch in May when he agreed to do a Netlfix roast that ended up containing a lot of jokes about their ill-fated marriage and the model’s new romance with Joaquim Valente.
Bündchen was reportedly left “deeply disappointed” by the “disrespectful” special, which she felt “once again put football before his family.”
Brady later admitted he “didn’t like” how some of the jokes “affected” his family and wouldn’t do it again.
However, at the festival Friday, Smith revealed he was recently asked to do a roast of his own and asked Brady for a bit of advice.
“They’re talking about roasting me, should I allow them to do it?” the ESPN star asked.
“Measure nine times and cut once,” Brady jokingly replied. “So think really hard about it.”
