On Friday, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen announced on social media that they had divorced amicably after 13 years of marriage.

For several weeks, multiple reports indicated that the marriage was on the verge of ending. Earlier this month, Page Six reported that the power couple had hired divorce lawyers.

Brady and Bündchen were married in 2009. They have two children together, a son and a daughter. The two agreed to joint custody of their children. Brady also has a son from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.

It has widely been suggested that Brady’s decision to end a 40-day retirement was a key reason behind Bündchen wanting a divorce. On Friday, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk shared a strange football-related theory that may have also played a factor in the divorce.

Florio discussed the theory during an appearance on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take” podcast (h/t Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post):
“There’s a theory in league circles, and I think I’m couching it properly, that the issues with Tom Brady and his wife blew up when the league announced the punishment of the Dolphins. Because of the flirtation with Brady, because she had, as the theory goes, no idea he was talking to the Dolphins.
