NFL fans react to new Gisele Bundchen interview amid rumored rift with Tom Brady

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up a win in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. But it appears the Buccaneers quarterback will be hard-pressed to rest easy just yet.

Rumors of a rift in his marriage to Gisele Bundchen have been swirling for multiple weeks. Bundchen's latest interview with Elle only served to raise more questions. She intimated that it was her time to focus on her career after being there for Brady since 2006.

In a long-ranging interview with the magazine, Gisele Bundchen said:

"There are so many things I’m working on, I’ll be here the entire day talking about it... I feel very fulfilled in that way, as a mother and as a wife. And now, it’s going to be my turn. It’s not like I’m going to be in the valley forever.”

Bundchen's interview did a lot to get Twitter on her side, especially after Brady's decision to unretire a mere six weeks into retirement.

Here's what social media had to say about Bundchen's latest interview:

Bundchen also spoke about the conversations she had with Tom Brady about possibly retiring, considering how violent the sport is. Bundchen told Elle:

“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. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too.”

Tom Brady famously chose to run it back one more time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season. There have been rumors that this season may be Brady's final year in the league.

Could this be the year Tom Brady calls it quits?

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported this week that multiple sources expect this season to be Brady's final year in the league. News of Brady's potential retirement after this season comes amidst a torrent of rumors that his relationship with Gisele Bundchen is on the brink.

In her interview with Elle, Bundchen hinted that it's time for her to start focusing on her own career after placing it on the backburner for so long.

“I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom]. I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams... I have a huge list of things that I have to do, that I want to do. At 42, I feel more connected with my purpose.”

Brady signed a 10-year $375 million deal with FOX Sports as an analyst which begins when he retires. This has added to the idea that the current campaign will be his last under center.

In any case, Brady's quest for an eighth ring will continue this weekend when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New Orleans Saints.
