“Gisele was walking alone on the West Side, crying into her cell phone,” the eyewitness told the outlet.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Bündchen and Brady are living apart as they try to work through their issues.
“Gisele has been telling Tom for some time that he needs to spend more time with family, and after retirement she thought she was getting what she was asking for,” a source told the outlet. “Once Tom decided to return to the NFL, she was devastated. Gisele is very hurt.”
Another source claimed: “Gisele is mad at Tom and wants some space right now. She is pushed to her limits. She always supported Tom and was there for him, but she got over it. She doesn’t think Tom has been himself lately.”
Representatives for Brady and Bündchen did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Brady came out of retirement in March, just two months after announcing he would be retiring from playing. On Elle’s October cover, Bündchen shared her concerns about her husband’s return to the sport and how she was thrilled when he announced his retirement.
“Obviously I have my concerns. It’s a very violent sport, and I have my kids, and I wish it had more of a presence,” she told the outlet. “I certainly had these conversations with him over and over again. But, at the end of the day, I think everyone has to make a decision that works for [them]. He too must follow his joy.”
