Tom Brady spotted without wedding ring amid divorce rumors with Gisele Bundchen
TAMPA, FLORIDA: American football quarterback Tom Brady has decided to take a break from wearing his wedding ring. When the NFL player stepped out of his hotel on October 16 before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, his fingers were bare. Wearing a blue jacket, white T-shirt, and navy blue pants, the 45-year-old clutched a camouflage-patterned duffel bag as he boarded the waiting team bus - his only accessory was a white watch.
The quarterback's decision to leave the ring at home comes just a week after his wife, Gisele Bundchen, was seen leaving her wedding band at home while visiting a Miami gym, Page Six reports.

For months, there has been talking about trouble for the pair in paradise. Although neither has addressed the accusations in public, a source recently told E! News that Tom and Gisele, who wed in 2009 after dating for more than two years, have individually hired divorce lawyers and the major reason for Brady's rumored breakup with Bündchen appears to be his reluctance to retire from football. "There has always been a lot of love and passion between them," the insider shared. "But now that they have been apart, it seems like this is better for everyone." The source added, "It's surprising to friends they have taken it this far."
“There’s been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids,” one insider told 'Page Six' in September, adding, “They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.” While a source told People that the supermodel and the athlete's romance is irreparably broken. “[Gisele] is done with their marriage,” a source previously claimed to the outlet. “She was upset about it for a long time, and it’s still difficult, but she feels like she needs to move on. She doesn’t believe that her marriage can be repaired.”
After the Buccaneers' loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, fans mocked the NFL star's decision to stay in the game — and its connection to the state of his marriage. An enraged Brady is seen in now-viral video footage exchanging furious words with the team's offensive line, allegedly shouting in his teammates' faces.

And it appears that Tom has been running on his own lately. On Oct 14, the quarterback attended the wedding of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Dr Dana Blumberg, albeit Gisele was not present. Brady and Bündchen are parents to 12-year-old Benjamin and 9-year-old Vivian. Additionally, the ex-Patriots star and ex-Bridget Moynahan have a 15-year-old son named Jack. Recently, Bündchen acknowledged that she and her children desire to see more of Brady. “My children and I would like [Tom] to be more present,” Bündchen told Elle in September, adding that they have “definitely had those conversations with him over and over again.”
