Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have released statements announcing their divorce after 13 years of marriage. This came after several weeks of speculation that a rift had developed between the two regarding his return to the NFL. Brady sensationally abandoned his retirement to play at least the 2022 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This was reportedly to the detriment of his marriage.
The separation has been met with great sadness by the majority of the public, as the couple were a source of inspiration to many. There are, of course, some quarters who delighted in Brady's divorce. While they are headed in different directions, the pair will continue to provide support and love to their children. They are, after all, the center of their respective worlds.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's kids have a day out with mom
As Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's divorce moved forward, she was seen partaking in fall activities with their two children. Bundchen, her son Benjamin and daughter Vivian were spotted picking out pumpkins at a pumpkin patch in Miami over the weekend.
Bundchen was seen carrying pumpkins and once again without a wedding ring on her ring finger. Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in Charlotte this past weekend for their game against the Carolina Panthers. So needless to say, the quarterback was nowhere to be seen during this family outing to the pumpkin patch.
Does Tom Brady believe that the Bucs can improve this week against the Ravens?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have a short week to get past a 21-3 upset against the Carolina Panthers. With the Baltimore Ravens coming to town on Thursday night, Tom Brady and the Bucs offense are going to need to find a way to get back in the win column. But does the quarterback believe that his offense is capable of turning things around?
While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, he didn't sound convinced that his squad was capable of doing so, saying:
"I mean, like I said, I hope we go play better and execute well and do our jobs at a high level. That's obviously the expectation for all of us, that's what we're working toward this week."
The Buccaneers have now lost four of their last five games this season with back-to-back losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers. The Bucs are averaging only 17.7 points per game, with only four teams averaging fewer points through the first seven weeks of the season.
