Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce is happening and according to reports, Brady could lose half of his wealth to Gisele. According to Newsweek, Brady could part ways with a whopping $200 million in the divorce settlement.
Tom Brady better prepare himself because he’s about dash his wife some $200 million all in the name of a divorce.
Tom Brady could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in a divorce from his wife Gisele Bündchen, an expert has warned.
Rumors have swirled that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback enlisted a divorce attorney after Page Six originally reported that model Bündchen had already done so, as the couple faces difficulties with their 13-year marriage.
Brady could be hit heavily in the pocket should the two split, a leading divorce lawyer told Newsweek, especially if he didn’t have a pre-nuptial agreement with Bündchen.
The 14-time Pro Bowl star is reportedly worth over $400 million from his 22 seasons in the NFL but he could lose half of this fortune unless he had it protected before marrying Bündchen.
Divorce expert Karen Jeary, an associate solicitor at law firm Mayo Wynne Baxter, told Newsweek: “Given the extent of Tom’s estimated wealth, $400 million, and that under U.K. matrimonial law the starting point for division of matrimonial assets is 50/50, hopefully, Tom had the foresight to enter into a pre-nuptial agreement with Gisele to protect, in so far as possible, his pre-acquired wealth.”
Brady and Bündchen share two children—son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9. Brady has another son, 15-year-old John, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
This is what divorce expert Karen Jeary had to say about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce;
“Despite their marriage breakdown being played out in the public eye, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen would be best advised, in order to maintain privacy, proceedings are private law matters and therefore not open to the public domain,” Jeary told Newsweek.
“This will no doubt give them a sense of relief, as their marital issues divulged in court will not be subject to public scrutiny and in particular media scrutiny,” she said. “Additionally, under U.K. divorce law (which is also applicable in a number of U.S. states), the new no-fault divorce means neither party can place blame on the other for the marriage ending.”
Jeary continued: “Tom and Gisele no doubt have led an international lifestyle and have connections to multiple jurisdictions including the USA and Costa Rica. Advice will need to be taken as to a fair division of the assets accrued throughout the course of their 13-year marriage.”
She warned the couple that they would need to make their children a priority if a break-up happened.
“Like any couple going through a divorce, the number one priority should be keeping things amicable for the sake of the children,” she said. “Tom and Gisele have three children, including a son from a previous relationship, and the main focus should be on their children and attempting to preserve an amicable relationship as parents rather than embroiling themselves in a media war.
One would hope that Gisele who is super rich herself doesn’t go after Brady’s pockets.
