Tom Brady is ‘very hurt by’ Gisele Bündchen after she hired divorce lawyer
A source close to the NFL icon said “it’s pretty obvious that he’s hurting” after new revelations came to light this week.
Tom Brady is having a hard time accepting things are over.
Following reports that his estranged wife, Gisele Bündchen, has been talking to a divorce lawyer for weeks, a source close to the NFL player said “it’s pretty obvious that he’s hurting”.
“He feels very hurt by her,” the source noted to People in a story published on Thursday.
However, while Brady seems to be holding out hope for reconciliation, it appears the supermodel is ready for a clean slate.

On Thursday, 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.
The therapeutic experience came just days after Page Six revealed that both Bündchen and Brady, who have been married for 13 years, each hired their own divorce attorneys.
“I don’t think there will be any coming back now. They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be,” a source told Page Six.
The pair have been on the rocks for a few months following an “epic fight” over Brady’s decision to “un-retire” from the NFL.
While some sources claim it’s “sexist” to boil their issues down to Brady’s career, other insiders tell us that “as with many marriages, it’s not just one thing. Gisele has made it clear that she worried about Tom playing football and that they had had many talks about it.”
The supermodel has even made her “concerns” about Brady staying in the league known amid their marital drama.
“This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” she told Elle magazine last month, adding that she has “definitely had those conversations with him over and over again.”
The pair — who share son Benjamin, 12, daughter Vivian, nine, and son Jack, 15, from one of Brady’s previous relationships — have been living separately while the quarterback is playing his 23rd season.
Although Brady was “hopeful” his wife would come around, the model has not attended any of his games.
