Speculation about Brady and Bündchen's relationship sparked in March when Brady announced plans to unretire from the NFL. In September, sources told People that the former couple had "hit a rough patch" in their relationship.
"She was so happy when he announced his retirement, and she wasn't thrilled at all when he went back on that," a source said, according to People.
Bündchen shared her concerns about Brady's NFL return in a September interview with Elle, saying, "Obviously, I have my concerns — this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present. I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again."
