Gisele Bündchen glows as she arrives back in Miami ahead of ex Tom Brady’s retirement from the NFL

Top model and ex-wife of Tom Brady Gisele Bündchen landed back in Miami on Tuesday ahead of her ex-husband’s announcement that he will be retiring from his football playing days after this season.

She later posted a message of support on her 45-year-old ex’s Instagram announcement, writing that she wishes him ‘only wonderful things in the next chapter of your life.’

The bonafide supermodel, 42, wore a smooth, all-white, casual outfit and a grey baseball cap as she made her way through Miami International Airport on Tuesday.

The beauty was doing at least some of her own schlepping as she carried a pillow with a personalized cover, a denim jacket and a small shopping bag.

Bündchen has been keeping herself busy following the announcement of the longtime couple’s divorce late last year.

She’s been overseeing the construction of her new Miami Beach home, as well as continuing to her parent the two children she shared with Brady – Benjamin 12, and Vivian 10.

The Brazilian bombshell has also been spotted spending times with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, in Costa Rica, where she owns real estate.

 In October, the supermodel and seven-time Super Bowl winner, who announced his first retirement from American football in February 2022 but reversed his decision the following month, announced the end of their 13-year marriage.

Brady said the decision to end things was ‘painful and difficult.’ 

‘However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written,’ he added. ‘And we kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate what is to come in the days and weeks ahead.’ 

Bundchen, 42, said they had ‘amicably’ finalized the divorce.

‘My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve,’ she said on Instagram.

‘The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and 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.’

Brady spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls before moving to Tampa Bay in 2020 and leading the Bucs to a championship in his first campaign with the team.

But the future Hall of Famer’s play this season has not reached his usual high standards, the frustration coming out in explosive exchanges on the sidelines and the throwing of his helmet and a tablet.

Brady’s retirement announcement follows the Buccaneers’ Wild Card series loss to the Dallas Cowboys and a losing regular season, a low mark in Brady’s remarkable career.
