The football stations are saying he promised retirement after the Pats and backtracked with her and then after the SB win with the Bucs. So this is possibly the 2nd or 3rd time he's un-retired with her, and she's given up. I'm behind her though--she gave up her career for him and the kids (mostly), probably based on future promises he'd support her. She also deserves a chance to travel and do what she wants and it seems he isn't willing to stop. He obviously loves football, but he lost the last two games since the news broke.
Let’s not feel too sorry for Gisele. As I understand it, she didn’t retire because Tom asked her to, she retired because she wanted to. These days she is still being asked to model and SHE turns them down. She didn’t “give up” anything, she quit. Her decision.

They have always had a staff of household employees and nannies who take care of everything for them so she’s not working at home. Tom was around six months of the year and they traveled extensively with the kids during that time. I’ve seen the pap vacation photos in exotic locales.

She never needed Tom to support her, she has more money than he does. Gisele’s net worth is $400 million. Tom is only worth $250 million. Divorced or together, these two pretty multi millionaires will be just fine. :biggrin:

How did Gisele amass a bigger net worth than Tom? Better investments? I’m not a football fan so idk much, just pondering. But I would’ve thought Tom’s NFL money would go further than Gisele’s modeling money since she retired ages ago.

She made a fortune from modeling, in fact she’s still considered to be the highest paid model. That’s based on all her endorsements for cosmetics and fragrances, etc. She has multi-million-dollar contracts with brands like Pantene, Chanel, Victoria’s Secret and Carolina Herrera. I’m sure she makes a lot from social media too since she has millions of followers. It all adds up.

Tom is very well paid for a pro football player but he doesn’t compare financially. I doubt Gisele will be going after Tom for spousal support. She better hope he doesn’t go after her. :lol:
 
Seems a weeeee bit classic, thought he’d change for me scenario.

Everyone knows how intense Tom is about football. He may say he’s done because he’s trying for her? But realistically he’s also been working 1000% to be able to stay in the game.

I’ve always preferred Peyton over Tom but still, kind of don’t see Gisele side. Tom ain’t gonna be playing when he’s 50 no matter how much “workout” and “protein shake” he does.

She’s really going to hang the hat now? And then what? There must be more than just football.
 
I don't think this is just about his retirement.
Never though about her over the years. Imho she looks much more interesting and beautiful nowadays...but I wish she would gain 5 kg.

I never thought these two have much in common other than both being extremely successful and incredibly beautiful.

It's like their values and goals in life are not aligned. I think Gisele has worked hard in their marriage, meanwhile Tom wasn't really himself/ comfortable. After the divorce, he'll probably turn around and date some 20 year old. But I think G will find it hard to find a solid, good man (up to par with her standards) even if she's one of the hottest woman on the planet. Yeah....

I really think she would have been happier married to a billionaire and working on charity work, or being somehow involved in his business, rather than to a professional athlete.

It would not surprise me at all if Giselle did not, at least temporarily, reunite with Leo. I could see Leo being told that his pattern of dumping women when they become 25 has become a liability and he needs to clean up his image. I could see Giselle seeing getting together with Leo to be an F-you to Tom (similar to J-Lo after ARod) showing that a man can't forget her after all these years. To me, there are enough benefits to their images for both of them to reunite that it could happen. I don't think it will get to marriage - having to deal with the kids will get annoying for Leo. But it would not surprise me if they flirt with it.

I'm glad you brought this up because I am thinking the exact opposite. Hear me out.

You know how news travels fast in Hollywood? I think Leo knew that these two were headed for divorce, hence now on Instagram there are all these gossip about Leo dating Gigi Hadid! They were in NYC, at Fashion Week,...etc.

For a moment, I thought he IS dating Gigi, but now, I think it's a diversion tactic, so he wouldn't have to "reunite" with Giselle.

Sad, but he just doesn't like women past a certain age.
