The pair's troubles appear to have emanated from earlier in the offseason.

Back then, the Bucs star decided to retire for a minute, ultimately choosing to unretire within 40 days of the bombshell announcement.

The Buccaneers star's decision seemingly rubbed Gisele Bundchen the wrong way.

The supermodel later gave an interview to Elle Magazine, saying she'd sacrificed a lot in her career to make their marriage work. In the same interview, she added that she was there for him all the while, and it was now her turn to focus on her uber-successful career.

The Buccaneers QB, meanwhile, has a reported net worth of $200 million as of 2022. His salary with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will see him earn a reported figure of $30 million this year.

It remains to be seen how the power couple will divide their multi-million-dollar assets, though it certainly appears that will be a decision Brady and Gisele will have to take sooner, rather than later.
