Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen reportedly yet to reconcile amid alleged rift, separation rumors

Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bundchen are reportedly going through a rough patch in their relationship. The future Hall of Fame quarterback's surprising decision to return to the gridiron less than two months after announcing his retirement has apparently put his marriage on the rocks, according to multiple news outlets.

Page Six News reported that Gisele is yet to reunite with her husband upon returning from her Costa Rica trip.

"She flew back to Florida to be with her kids but hasn’t been to their home in Tampa. Tom is still hoping they can reconcile. Gisele has told him she’s leaving him before, and they always made up when she cooled down," an unnamed source told Page Six.

While the story does not specify whether an official separation is imminent, unnamed sources have suggested that divorce is not out of the question.

Furthermore, the report claims that this isn't the first time Gisele has threatened to leave Brady.

To add insult to injury, the couple's dispute has fueled social media fire on who's to blame for the entire ordeal.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's rumored rough patch continues to take center stage

After Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen supposedly agreed on the quarterback's retirement for family reasons, a sudden return to football may have caused friction.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner reflected on his NFL comeback and 45th birthday, among other things, on the 'Let's Go!' podcast with Jim Gray and former NFL star Larry Fitzgerald.

“When I was 25, all I did was think about football. That was my life: It was eat, sleep, drink football because it was my profession and my career. Over time other priorities develop because you change and evolve through life and you grow in different ways. You take on these different responsibilities of family, commitment, so forth. You commit time and energy to those things," he said.

Brady, who has been married to supermodel Bundchen since 2009, also spoke about being in the limelight as an NFL superstar.

“There is a big camera that’s always on you. You’re living your life and you’re living your sports life, too. They’re covering sports, but they are covering your life you too. And you can’t stop your life even though sports is happening. So, even though I’m playing in my 23rd year I have a freshman in high school that is playing football, too,” he added.

Brady's previously unexplained hiatus from the Buccaneers' training camp for nearly two weeks adds fuel to the fire. Interestingly, both Brady and Gisele have expressed the importance of family time on several occasions.

Will there be more brief absences from the quarterback throughout the season like the one we saw in training camp in an effort to resolve the couple's personal issues?

Time will tell if the reports surrounding the rift are accurate or just plain gossip.
