According to the author, Bündchen informed Brady that she'd finally had enough and broke things off with just three simple words.
'We're Not Compatible'
According to author Lars Anderson, Brady's desire to continue his football career caused issues in his marriage to Bündchen.
“One day, Gisele, who is really into astrology, basically looked into the stars and told Tom, 'We're not compatible,'" a source close to the athlete shared with Anderson. "And just like that, she was done."
Anderson says Brady's desire to continue his football career created issues in the marriage. Allegedly, Bündchen wanted him to retire as early as the 2017 Super Bowl.
She allegedly brought the idea up shortly after the New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons.

After the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Patriots in the 2018 Super Bowl, Bündchen allegedly wrote her then-husband a note. In it, she allegedly made it clear that she wanted Brady to dedicate more of his time to their family.

"She needed more help with the kids. She needed the chance to sleep in just a few days a week. She needed more time for her own career," he claims.
A friend of Brady's, who is also a former football player, discussed some of the potential pitfalls of the relationship for Bündchen.
"The guy gets up at the crack of dawn, thinks all day about a game that is foreign to his wife, comes home and is in bed each night by nine," he explained. "He can't really eat out or go out without causing a scene. Everything he puts in his mouth tastes like s--t."
The pal added, "The whole lifestyle had to be getting tiresome for Gisele."
