They may be one of Hollywood's hottest couples, but according to the tabloids, Tom Brady and
Gisele Bündchen's marriage may be a lot wackier than it appears.
Here are some of the weird things fans seem to ignore about their relationship.
In mid-December of 2006, Brady and his girlfriend of three years, actress Bridget Moynahan,
announced they had broken up.
The following month, People magazine linked Brady to Victoria's Secret Angel Bündchen,
with sources claiming they had started seeing each other right before Christmas.
If that timing wasn't awkward enough, People reported in February 2007 that Moynahan was
pregnant with Brady's child, and the news threw a wrench into Brady and Bündchen's
hot-and-heavy new romance.
In 2015, Bundchen admitted to CBS This Morning that it had been a challenging way to start
their relationship.
"I felt like I didn't know what to do.
It was kind of one of those moments of like, do I just run away?"
Moynahan and Brady welcomed a son, Jack, in August 2007.
Bündchen ended up sticking around, of course, and she's very grateful she did.
"Now, eight years later, I couldn't have asked for a sweeter bonus child."
2015 was reportedly a trying time for Brady and Bündchen, who were in the midst of dealing
with the fallout from Brady's "Deflategate" scandal.
In fact, the year was so tumultuous for them, Bündchen allegedly threatened divorce.
A source told Us Weekly at the time,
"Tom thinks it's only a threat.
But this is definitely a rough patch."
Bündchen shot down the reports, telling a local Boston radio station that that she and
Brady were in a "great place."
She later discussed the toll the scandal took on their relationship with CBS This Morning.
"No matter how challenging it was, we've always been supportive of one another and I think
that's the most important thing you can have."
Both during and after his successful bid for the White House, President Donald Trump boasted
on numerous occasions about his alleged friendship with Brady.
In November 2016, Trump told a crowd at one of his rallies that the superstar athlete
was a, quote, "great friend of [his]" who had even called that day to express his support.
"He called today, and he said, 'Donald, I support you, you're my friend, and I voted
for you.'"
Regarding his association with the president, Brady has been largely cagey on the matter,
according to ABC News.
In fact, the star quarterback has only gone so far as to confirm the friendship, and that
the two sometimes call each other.
The truth to the matter, however, may lie with Bündchen.
Asked by a fan on Instagram in early November 2016 if she and her husband support Trump,
Bündchen emphatically replied, "NO!" according to Us Weekly.
Then, in January 2017, amid growing concerns over Trump's controversial executive order
on immigration, she posted a message to Instagram about the importance of diversity in the world,
writing,
"The beauty of the human race is in its diversity.
We are all connected and we are stronger when we come together.
Only ego, beliefs and fears separate us."
In 2017, the New York Post published a pretty wild rundown of Brady and Bundchen's supposed
diet, which one registered dietitian reportedly described as "sketchy."
One of its many, many restrictions is, quote, "no sugar, white flour or nightshade fruits
and vegetables", but if you think their diet's a headache, just wait until you hear about
Bundchen's approach to Halloween candy.
She told People magazine in November 2016,
"We don't really have that kind of sugar in our house.
I let them try one [piece], but they really only had one bite and then they didn't want
it anymore.
So I told them if they didn't like it I was going to give it away to other kids and they
actually let me give their candy away."
Bundchen explained that they only allow different types of sweets in the house, so their kids
aren't used to regular candy anyway, and that they were fine with giving it all away.
It'd be easy to assume that Tom Brady is a consummate professional who knows how to act
like a mature adult, he's a six-time Super Bowl champion, after all.
Well, that's apparently not always the case.
Speaking to Man of the World magazine in 2014, Brady admitted that he can be pretty needy
and bratty when it comes to getting attention from his wife.
He explained,
"I like attention from her, so when I'm not getting it, I let her know in immature ways,
like a young, immature child would.
You throw fits…you pout and you whine until you get what you want."
While his temper tantrums may have worked for a little while, Bundchen apparently isn't
fooled by him anymore.
Brady admitted,
"She's on to me...So now I have to learn new tricks."
Sounds like that's probably a good idea.
