"He has always been in a good space" - Outside noise irrelevant to Tom Brady, claims QB's teammate as divorce to Gisele Bundchen rumors remain rife

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady took an 11-day hiatus from the team this offseason to address some personal matters.

Many believed he took the time off to spend some time with his family at the request of his wife, Gisele Bundchen.

Since then, reports have emerged of a possible "rift" in Brady and Gisele's relationship.

Tampa Bay running back Leonard Fournette was asked about Brady's mindset heading into the first week of the season. He claimed that Brady is ready and has been in a good head space.

“Tom Brady is chill. He prepares well. He will be ready. He has been playing for 23 years," Fournette said in an interview released on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers YouTube page. "If he needs a break, he will stop. I am happy that he is back. He has always been in a good space. He is doing good and should be great for the competition."

Recently, Page Six reported that Brady and Bundchen had an "epic fight." Reportedly, Bundchen was unhappy about the quarterback returning to football. She apparently left their family home and fled to Costa Rica. Following reports of this argument, the couple have been making headlines as many speculate whether or not this rift will mean the end of their union.

The Buccaneers will kick off their season Sunday night as they travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys at 8.20 PM EDT.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to secure their third Super Bowl as Tom Brady seeks his eighth

Super Bowl LV

When Tom Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, the goal was to win multiple Super Bowls. His former teammate, tight end Rob Gronkowski, followed him and joined Tampa as he forced a trade out of New England.

Brady even got Antonio Brown to sign with the team.

In his first season with the Buccaneers, Brady helped lead the Bucs to their second Super Bowl as he earned a record seventh title.

This past season, the Bucs fell to the Los Angeles Rams 30-27 in the divisonal round of the playoffs.

Brady initially planned on retiring from the team before he changed his mind. He announced that he would return for another season.

In the offseason, the Bucs added Julio Jones and Russell Gage to fill Brown and Gronkowski's void for the upcoming season.

Tampa have been dealing with a bunch of offensive line issues and are entering the season with a weaker offensive line protecting Brady.

The road to a Super Bowl victory is never easy. It's going to be even tougher for Brady to win his eighth entering his 23rd season.
