Tom Brady is said to have tried “to make things work” with Gisele Bündchen before the couple officially ended their 13-year marriage last week, according to a new report.
A source recently told People that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, 45, had been “really trying to fix” his relationship with the 42-year-old supermodel, but the efforts appeared “too little, too late.”
“She gave him a lot of opportunities to fix things, and he didn’t,” the insider told the outlet.

Brady and Bündchen confirmed Friday they were parting ways, with both releasing separate statements on Instagram.
“My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart,” said Bündchen, who shares son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9, with Brady.
“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.”
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen originally tied the knot in 2009. 
The couple has two kids together, daughter Vivian (bottom left) and son Benjamin (bottom right). Tom Brady shares son Jack (top left) with his ex, Bridget Moynahan. Brady, who co-parents son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan, said in his message that he and Bündchen “arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration.”
“We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion posted.
Rumblings of a rift between Brady and Bündchen first surfaced over the summer, when Page Six exclusively reported how the couple engaged in heated arguments over the quarterback’s decision to un-retire from football. Brady announced his NFL retirement in February before returning to the game a month later.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, here in May 2019, announced their divorce on Friday, Oct. 28, 2022. 
The pair posted separate statements to social media following the divorce announcement. “There’s been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids,” a source said at the time.
“They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.”
In late September, however, an insider told Page Six that Brady and Bündchen’s troubles have “nothing to do” with the NFL.
Brady, who is currently in his 23rd NFL season, spoke Monday on his SiriusXM podcast, “Let’s Go!” about how he’s coping following the divorce.

“So, that’s what professionals do. You focus at work when it’s time to work and then when you come home you focus on the priorities that are at home. All you can do is the best you can do. That’s what I’ll continue to do as long as I’m working and as long as I’m being a dad.”
For Halloween on Monday night, Brady dressed up as he trick-or-treated with his kids, sharing an Instagram photo on Tuesday morning from the festivities.
