Gisele Bundchen might be officially free from Tom Brady following their divorce, but a new report is shedding light on how things were before they actually parted ways.

A report from Yahoo details that the supermodel had been living an independent life for several years.
“Despite a source recently saying that Gisele was “devastated” by the split, which fans thought happened after the NFL star took himself out of retirement earlier this year, another source is saying that, although she is still upset, she will be “just fine” on her own; as she has been on her own, so to speak, for years!” Yahoo! News reports.
Gisele always appeared happily cheering on Tom as he played football, and when he finally decided to hang up his cleats earlier this year, things appeared to be going the way she always hoped.
“The model “has lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she is not afraid to do things by herself,” the source added, before going on to say that Gisele’s “main focus and priority” are the children; son Benjamin Rein, 12, and daughter Vivian Lake, 9,” Yahoo! added.
However, Tom Brady would announce his comeback some 40 days later and their marriage went downhill fast. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Bündchen said that it wasn’t easy. “We were dating two and a half months when he found out, and it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it’s not the ideal thing.”
