He continued: "We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be 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."

Tom released a statement confirming the divorce

They have been married since 2009 and share children Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, nine. They recently hired divorce attorneys in a shock move which stunned fans. 

Tom and his wife—who hasn't attended any of his games this season  - also stepped out recently without their wedding rings, hinting at problems between them.

Earlier this month, she left a prayer emoji comment and liked a post from life coach Jay Shetty. "You can't be in a committed relationship with someone who is inconsistent with you. Read that again," the post read.

Tom previously announced his retirement in February before changing his mind a month later and returning to Tampa Bay. He's currently playing on a one-year, $15 million contract.

His U-turn reportedly caused a rift between him and the Brazilian beauty, 42.

In an interview with Elle in September, Gisele expressed her hope that her husband would step away from football for good.

"This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present," she said. "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]."
