Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady may no longer be married, but the love for each other is clearly still there.

Tom Brady’s second retirement announcement did not just come from him. He had some help from a very familiar person. Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, reportedly helped him come to the difficult decision to say goodbye to his NFL days for good.

A source told Us Weekly that she has been “a real rock.”

The exes “talked this through before he came to the final decision,” the insider said.
