Gisele Bundchen was a no-show at Tom Brady’s first home game in Tampa amid marital troubles that reportedly have nothing to do with football.

The supermodel and quarterback seemed to have the perfect marriage up until a few months back when there were reports emerging of trouble in paradise.

Earlier this year, Brady, 45, announced his retirement, in part to spend more time with his family – but 40 days later, he came out of retirement because he wanted to play more football, which was widely believed to be the final straw for Bundchen.

However, the Daily Mail reported the rift between couple is unrelated to Brady’s return to the game, with a source insisting Bundchen is his “number one cheerleader” and she would not care if he played until he was in his 50s.

The “number one cheerleader” was absent from the Buccaneers’ first home game of the season – but his three children (Jack, 15, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan; Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9) were there to soften the blow.

Bundchen expressed her “concerns” about Brady’s return to football.

“This is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” she told Elle magazine in a recent interview. “I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for (them). He needs to follow his joy, too.”
