Via People: "Tom‘s three kids – daughter Vivian, 9, and son Benjamin, 12, whom he shares with wife Gisele Bundchen and son John “Jack”, 15, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan – were brought out onto the field [for his home game] by Tom’s mom and his sisters.

The kids all gave Tom a big hug and wished him good luck before the game.

Skipping out on the game was Gisele, 42, amid rumors that there are troubles in the marriage."

His team did lose...

There were rumors that Tom is a contestant on The Masked Singer because it was taping at the same time he left the Bucs during the preseason for “personal reasons.” It seems like too much of an over-the-top ruse to pretend to have marital problems in order to keep your participation in a celebrity talent show secret though.
 
It’s getting serious! Gisele arranged to be papped in her workout clothes at the gym. She hasn’t been this needy in a long time.


 
They have a staff… she didn’t have to give up anything more than any other mom (or dad) raising kids imo.
She has had the means the whole time to do anything she’s dreamt of. I’ve been a SAHM mom raising kids longer, and my job was always equally important. If I’d had her career and money plus my husbands income I’d continue pursuing my dreams.
I can’t feel sorry for either of them tbh. Her judgy comments don’t win my sympathy, sorry!
 
Not every wealthy career woman wants to leave her children with hired help for weeks at a time or fly them internationally between two households. Whatever their means were it was important enough to Gisele to put her career on hold to be present and give their kids stability while Tom pursued his NFL career. I think he should have honored his promise instead he chose football over his wife’s feelings. And now divorce potentially. Oh well. We all make choices and deal with them too.

I agree, we all need different things.
She married him playing and is divorcing him playing.
Her attitude over the years has made her hard to sympathize with. Maybe when he retired for a minute they realized they don’t like each other that much after spending some time together.
They both say tone deaf comments, so I’m just saying it’s hard to feel very sad for her complaining.
I don’t know that he “promised”…
he announced retirement then took it back, but I don’t know that it was ever a promise to her.
 
She seems very controlling. She knew what he did when she got with him. So I guess if she married Leo, then he would need to give up acting? I have my career and would never let my husband dictate what to do with it. Football season is five months out of the year. She has him all to herself the other seven months. She's complaining that she had to put her career on hold for him. She could have picked up work during the seven months when he was home.

Yeah the optics of him returning to football so soon after retirement had to be embarrassing for Gisele. No matter how he spins it people will assume (rightfully or wrongly) trouble at home and he’d rather be on a field than with her. On the other hand if it wasn’t working out no need to prolong his return while the momentum was still there.
 
Not sure if this was already mentioned, but I don't think Tom Brady would have retired if his retirement announcement was not prematurely leaked;

- He was on vacation with Gisele and the kids, supposedly without internet service, when his retirement news broke
- Tom Sr. (his dad) had to come out and say that his son has not yet made a decision
- Tom comes back and finds out he's retired (imagine his surprise!), even though he didn't make that final call :blah:
- Now everyone wants Tom to confirm whether he is or is not retiring
- Tom felt pressured into make a decision. Coming off a family trip, he likely was still on "vacation mode" and thought to himself "okay...yeah...I can see myself living a life like this away from football....forever."
- Announces he IS retiring
- 40 days later Tom surprises us all, says there is "unfinished business" and comes out of retirement. He realized that even with his companies like TB12, Brady Brand & Autograph.io, nothing can replace the game of football itself.
- Tom Brady turns 45 :rolleyes:. Tom ALWAYS said he wants to play until 45!
- Tom misses ELEVEN DAYS of NFL training camp, no one knows why. Reddit users come up with a theory that Tom was a contestant on The Masked Singer
(fyi, he takes practices and camp SERIOUSLY. In 2010 he got into a car accident before getting to practice. He didn't care about the accident - he was freaking out about possibly being late to practice)
- Tom returns to training camp, tells reporters there is "alot of sh*t going on."
- Rumors that Gisele is not attending the Tom's first game of the season
- His kids show up to a game but no Gisele :shocked:

I guess now we know Gisele was busy with divorce attorneys :oh:

TLDR: Tom Brady's retirement was prematurely announced when he himself didn't know what the future holds; he was forced into making a decision, so he chose retirement, making Gisele the happiest wife in the world. He realized he still has alot left in him (thank you, TB12 Method!), so he chooses to unretire. Gisele is pissed :mad: and feels like he broke a promise, but he never promised he would remain retired. He has said for over a decade "I want to play until I'm 45.".
Tom turned 45 in August.
