brave cat showed a brave face as he made his first public appearance after he and his wife Gisele Bündchen announced that they were officially divorced. The NFL’s legendary quarterback was spotted treating the ex-couple’s two children, Ben12 and Violet9, to a movie in Florida on Friday night, October 28, as seen in the photo here. Dressed in casual clothes with a hoodie and baseball cap, Tom kept his composure as he helped distract his adorable kids from the heartbreaking news.

After much speculation about a marriage rift between Tom and Gisele, the current couple confirmed the end of their 13-year marriage earlier on the same day. Tom shared a statement on his Instagram Story, saying the couple made the decision to part ways “amicably” and “gratefully”. He added, “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always make sure they get the love and care they deserve.”

Gisele also shared a heartbreaking message on her Instagram Stories, admitting the superstar couple “have grown up” and will now focus on “co-parenting” their two children. “With so much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I completed our divorce amicably,” Gisele began. “My priority has been and will continue to be our children, whom I love with all my heart. We will continue to be co-parents to give them the love, care and care they so much deserve. “

Gisele went on to say that the decision to annul a marriage is difficult for any couple. “But we’ve been apart and of course it’s been difficult going through things like this, I feel blessed for the time we’ve had together and just wish the best for each other. Tom,” she added. “I kindly ask that our privacy be respected during this sensitive time.”

Rumors of trouble in heaven between the pair were further exacerbated when the legendary quartet was absent for 11 days from Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s training camp in the summer for “personal reasons”. The brief hiatus came shortly before Gisele skipped the first game of the season, although the couple’s two children were there to cheer on Tom.

Although Tom has not addressed his absence in the pre-season, he has chronicled his personal life on Let’s go! SiriusXM Show on Monday, October 10. “There are things I’m going through in my 40s and that’s life,” he said. “And you learn to grow up and you learn to deal with life. And that’s what we’re all trying to do. We’re trying to do it the best way we can. “

Adding to the rumours, Gisele recently said she has “concerns” about Tom returning to play in the NFL after he briefly retires in the spring. “It’s a very violent sport, and I have my kids and I want him to be more present,” she told Elle magazine. “I definitely talked about those conversations over and over again with him. But in the end, I feel that people have to make the right decisions with [them]. He also needs to keep an eye on his fun.”

In March, Tom signed up again with the Buccaneers after a brief “retirement” from the sport. The 7-time Super Bowl champion took to Twitter to reveal what led to his change of heart. “Over the past two months, I have realized that my position is still on the field, not in the stands. That time will come. But not now. I love my teammates, and I love my family who always support me. They make it all possible. I will be back for my 23rd season in Tampa. LFG is in unfinished business. “
