Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have officially called it quits.
The NFL star and supermodel announced in statements posted on social media Friday that they had “finalized” their divorce after 13 years of marriage, ending weeks of rumors.
Bündchen confirmed reports on Friday, writing they “have grown apart,” but that she wishes “the best for Tom always.”
“With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce. My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue to [co-parent] to give then the love, care and attention they greatly deserve,” Bündchen wrote on her Instagram Story.
“The decision to end a marriage is never easy but 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,” she continued. “I kindly ask that our privacy be respected during this sensitive time.”
Brady made a statement of his own on social media:
In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be at 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.
We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration.
Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world. However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written.
And we kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate what is to come in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you.
Media can confirm Bündchen filed in Glades County, Florida on Friday morning and Brady is not contesting the divorce. The case status is closed, meaning a judge signed off on paperwork already.
“The settlement is all worked out,” a source told People earlier on Friday. “They’ve been working on the terms this whole time.”
The terms of the settlement, like who gets what and who has custody, have been worked out and will stay private. They have a 12-year-old son, Benjamin, and a 9-year-old daughter, Vivian, whom they will reportedly share custody of.
