NFL superstar Tom Brady and model Gisele Bundchen have finalized their divorce, ending a 13-year union between two of the highest earners in the worlds of sports and fashion.
Brady, 45, and Bundchen, 42, both announced Friday on Instagram that they made their split official.
“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce,” Brady said in his post. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”
Bundchen said in her own statement that the couple had “grown apart” over the course of their marriage.
“While it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always,” the supermodel said.
The news follows weeks of speculation, as well as reports that the pair hired divorce attorneys earlier this month. In a cover story for Elle Magazine, Bundchen, who slowed her modeling career to focus on raising the couple’s two children, said she was getting back into the workforce.
“I feel very fulfilled in that way, as a mother and as a wife,” Bundchen said in the interview. “And now it’s going to be my turn.”
