Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's rumored rift "won't last" despite speculation about separation: Reports
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's reported rift has hijacked the NFL offseason in the days leading up to the regular-season opener between the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills.
Brady and Gisele have reportedly been in disagreement ever since the former decided to unretire from the NFL in March just over a month after announcing his retirement.

Over the last few days, multiple news outlets have reported that the Buccaneers quarterback is having a hard time dealing with Gisele's rumored trip to Costa Rica amid the rift. An unnamed source told RadarOnline that the pair's disagreements are commonplace due to their up-and-down relationship.
"They run hot and cold; she is the boss and has tantrums from time to time when she’s displeased … just about anything really. They are in an icy phase right now, but it won’t last. Too much of her brand is wrapped up in being married to him and he loves that he married the ultimate supermodel," said the source.
Back in 2020, another source told the same publication about the seven-time Super Bowl champion's "lack of effort" in the relationship.
"When Tom's had a busy day of training, he'll come home and pass out on the couch. There's a lack of effort, for sure, but what annoys Gisele more is when Tom yells at the kids for behaving badly during the time he does spend with them. She feels he should be more patient," said the source.
Last week, Page Six was the first to report on the news of fresh disagreements between Brady and Gisele.
“They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind," an unnamed source told Page Six.
Another source close to the couple added:
"They have a fiery relationship. Gisele is a bit hot-headed — she has that Brazilian heat!”
Is this Tom Brady's last season in the NFL?
In February, Brady sounded like a man who didn't want to retire, but the speculation surrounding his disagreement with wife Gisele suggests the 2022-23 NFL season could be his final campaign. The duo have previously expressed how important 'family time' is in multiple interviews.
Gisele allegedly feels that Brady has not lived up to his end of the bargain.
“They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind," the Page Six source revealed.

Brady sounded like a man without a desire to play pro football for much longer in his latest appearance on the Let's Go podcast with co-host Jim Gray and former NFL star Larry Fitzgerald. He said:
"As you get older, life changes quite a bit. There's different responsibilities that take form in your life. There's different perspectives you gain. When I was 25, all I did was think about football. That was my life. It was eat, sleep, drink football. It was my profession. It was my career."
"Over time, other priorities develop because you change and evolve through life and you grow in different ways. You take on these different responsibilities of family and commitments so forth and you commit time and energy to those things."
