Gisele Bündchen changes tattoo amid swirling Tom Brady divorce rumours

Gisele Bündchen has been spotted in public with an eye-catching new tattoo that covers up previous inkwork she has had.

As the sun appears to be setting on Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady’s marriage, the supermodel has made some eye-catching changes to one of her celestial tattoos.

On Friday (AEDT), the Brazilian beauty was snapped visiting a building in Miami (that happens to house legal offices) wearing cuffed jeans and a pair of thongs that showed off the updated ink on her right ankle, The New York Post reports.

While the design previously depicted a crescent moon surrounded by three stars, Bündchen appears to have turned it into a tree, with several branches curling upward around the stars.

Although the original tat predates the 42-year-old catwalker’s relationship with Brady, 45 — the couple met on a blind date in 2006, and married in 2009 — it’s possible the tweak is still symbolic.

After all, Bündchen’s other known tattoo, a small shooting star located on her left wrist, was inked in honour of another member of her family: her late grandmother.

“She died when I was young. When I first moved to New York, there were no stars in the sky, so to remind me of her I drew one on my wrist and kept it there for a month, and then had someone draw it in, which is why it’s a little crooked,” the model told The New York Daily News years ago.

“It’s held up pretty well … It helps me to ­remember her.”

Bündchen might not be as keen to hold onto memories of Brady — and has already proven just that by parting ways with a significant symbol of their matrimony.

Earlier this week, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel was spotted without her wedding ring just hours after Page Six broke the news that she and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback had hired divorce lawyers.

Bündchen is reportedly “done” with Brady and “doesn’t believe” that their 13-year marriage can be repaired.

“She was upset about it for a long time and it’s still difficult, but she feels like she needs to move on,” an insider told People on Friday.

Sources previously revealed to Page Six that Bündchen and Brady had gotten into an “epic fight” over the NFL star’s decision to “un-retire.”

“I don’t think there will be any coming back now,” the insider said.

“They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be.”

Bündchen and Brady share son Benjamin Rein, 12, and 9-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. The athlete also has a 15-year-old son, John Edward, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

It was revealed last week Brady has been taking the separation hard after learning Bündchen had retained lawyers, as revealed by Page Six.

“It’s pretty obvious that he’s hurting,” one source said.

“He feels very hurt by her.”

On Friday, Bündchen, 45, was spotted spiritually cleansing her car, which is done to get rid of any negative energy, with the help of a holistic woman.

While the former Victoria’s Secret Angel was photographed with a smudge stick to burn sage around her car, she was noticeably missing her wedding ring.
