They have been married since 2009 and share children Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, nine.
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.

In a caption she added, "Love is a daily effort. Some days it may come easier than others and that's OK, but what should always stay consistent is the respect and admiration you have for your partner's values and goals."
Tom also released a statement confirming the news
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]."
