This week’s Star Magazine has a lengthy article about Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen and the sorry state of their marriage. If this story had come out during the summer of splits, or even on the heels of Ben Affleck’s Nannygate, which Tom got caught up in, I would believe more of this story. But I kind of think Gisele and Tom legitimately went through a bad time (Gisele reportedly consulted a divorce lawyer) and they worked on their drama and they’re now in a better place. Is their marriage perfect? Of course not. Do I think they’ll be together forever? It remains to be seen. But this Star story seems to be a rehash of months-old drama, with a few dashes of funny new info. New info like: Gisele spends $300 an hour on a psychic!!! Some highlights:
The psychic. Gisele was seen visiting a $300-an-hour psychic in massachusetts on Dec. 17. “Gisele was in there for a couple of hours,” an eyewitness reports. “When she finally emerged, she lingered in the hallway with the psychic. She appeared to be really concerned about something.”
The concerns. Sources say Gisele’s biggest concern these days is the state of her marriage. “She visited the psychic because she was desperate to know if Tom has cheated and if divorce is in her future.”
The fights. Tom and Gisele “fight over everything from how to parent their children to Gisele’s fear that Tom might stray… it didn’t help that Tom’s teammates despised Gisele. They’d tell him she’s controlling and manipulative. It put a lot of strain on him because he felt pulled in two directions. His teammates are like a second family and football is his life.”
Deflategate. Tom “became extremely moody and difficult to deal with as a result of Deflategate and their fighting intensified. Plus Gisele was embarrassed and furious over the scandal, because it corrupted her picture-perfect family image.”
The Affleck Factor. When Tom and Gisele started having problems, he began spending more time with Ben Affleck, the Typhoid Mary of Philandering Husbands. Gisele has “heard too much about Ben’s history of womanizing and demanded that Tom stop hanging out with him, which drove Tom to see him more often.” Gisele “couldn’t shake the feeling that something happened” between Tom and Ben’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian, and Gisele “became even more insecure about their relationship, and she’d confront him about it constantly, which didn’t go over well.”
Plastic surgery. When Gisele got her eyes and breasts done back in July, she did it to try to “win back Tom’s attention.” But when everyone found out, Tom was “embarrassed” and their fighting “intensified.”

Star says that in the end, Gisele is hoping Tom’s season wraps up quickly so they can focus on their marriage. Like… they’re making Gisele sound like the one fighting to save their marriage, while Tom is just phoning it in. I’m not sure I believe that. I’ll believe Gisele nags him, I’ll believe that she goes to a psychic, I’ll believe that she worries about Tom cheating on her. But I think Gisele is prepared to walk away, and she’s been prepared this whole time, and I think Tom has known that he’s on notice and he better behave if he wants to keep his marriage.
