"Words can't describe how proud I was to watch you represent your country" - Tom Brady once admirably defended wife Gisele Bundchen's controversial Olympic opening ceremony catwalk
Unless you're living under a rock, you should be aware of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's rumored rift. The couple are reportedly living separately, with speculation rife over a possible divorce.
Of course, their paradise wasn't always in trouble. Before they started dating, Brady and Bundchen were just getting started with their respective careers. The NFL icon was with the New England Patriots, while Bundchen ruled magazine covers and runways. Together, they formed the NFL's ultimate power couple.
Brady and Bundchen have always supported each other publicly. This was the case at the 2016 Rio Olympics, when criticism was thrown in Bundchen's direction after she strutted down the catwalk during the opening ceremony.
Brady was quick to take to social media to defend the Brazilian supermodel. Though he did not call out her haters directly, he did make sure to voice his opinion.
Brady also went on to congratulate the ceremony itself. He even translated the message to Portuguese and shared it with possible native readers.
"Gisele, words can't describe how proud I was to watch you represent your country. I love you."
Why did Tom Brady need to defend Gisele Bundchen?
Though it seemed to be an important moment for Gisele, fans were unhappy with the entire situation as they wanted someone else to represent Brazil in the ceremony. Many referred to the segment as 'dumb'.
Gisele posted about the event on social media and was beyond happy to be a part of the Olympic Games.

"Everyone involved worked with dedication and passion to create a show that gave the world a glimpse of our history and Brazil's essence."
Both Brady and Bundchen have come a long way since the 2016 Rio Olympics. Not only is Brady edging towards retirement, but Bundchen's work has also changed with the times.
Their recent rift is apparently a result of Brady deciding to play another NFL season. The supermodel, who wanted him to focus on their family, reportedly left their home in Florida and flew to Costa Rica.
Even though Gisele has returned to Florida since, she is reportedly yet to meet with Brady. Despite the severity of the situation, Brady remains hopeful of reconciliation.
