There have been plenty of theories when it comes to the marital issues between Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. While the situation should be kept behind closed doors, a couple with their type of stardom and popularity just doesn't have that luxury.

While Bundchen and Brady have declined to comment on their marriage, anonymous sources have continued to give their take on the situation. It was reported earlier this week that the couple had each hired their own divorce attorneys, and a source told People magazine that the former supermodel is leading the charge.

The source claimed that Bundchen is the one who wants the divorce, essentially playing offense. Brady apparently doesn't want to necessarily go down that road, but will do what he needs to do to protect himself and his assets.

"She is the one steering the divorce," the source told People. "She is playing offense and he is playing defense. He wants to protect himself, protect his interests, but he's only starting to go the legal route in his defense from her."

The source also went on to say that for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, the situation is extremely trying.

"Think about it: Tom has had a very charmed life. Things always seem to go his way. He works hard, he's a good guy, he hasn't had a lot of things go wrong in his life."

While the cause of the couple's marital woes hasn't been confirmed, most believe it has something to do with the quarterback's NFL career. Brady's decision to retire and then quickly unretire 40 days later apparently didn't sit well with Bundchen. But a source claimed that this wasn't the reason for their issues.

According to a source, the couple, who have been married since 2009, live different lives during the season. Brady concentrates on football and Bundchen on their home and children.

"During the season, they live separate lives. This is not something that just happened today."

According to a source, Bundchen has also been speaking to divorce attorneys for weeks now. Although she did try to work things out, she wanted to be prepared for any situation.
