Gisele Bündchen apparently didn’t need a lengthy breakup speech when she decided her marriage to Tom Brady was over.
According to a new biography about Brady, his supermodel ex delivered a particularly blunt assessment before walking away from their relationship.
The revelation comes from Lars Anderson’s upcoming book, Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness, which details the final months of Brady and Gisele’s relationship.
And apparently, astrology played a role.
“One day, Gisele, who is really into astrology, basically looked into the stars and told Tom, ‘We’re not compatible,’” Anderson writes in an excerpt published by the Daily Mail.
“And just like that, she was done.”
Well, that certainly sounds final.
The book reportedly paints Brady’s decision to continue playing football as a major source of tension in the marriage. After initially announcing his retirement in February 2022, Brady reversed course just weeks later and returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote at the time. “That time will come. But it’s not now.”
According to Anderson’s reporting, Gisele had wanted Brady to step away from football, and his decision to return to the NFL created additional strain at home.
Things reportedly became so difficult that Gisele traveled to Costa Rica while Brady remained focused on football. The book describes the trip as a final attempt to repair their relationship.
Meanwhile, people around Brady noticed a change in him.
Former Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians reportedly observed that Brady had lost weight and appeared to be struggling with personal issues. Another coach, Clyde Christensen, recalled that Brady returned from his family vacation looking like an “empty shell.”
“There was no joy. Everything was hard work,” Christensen said, according to the book.
By October 2022, the writing was apparently on the wall.
Brady and Gisele announced their divorce on October 28, confirming that they had finalized the end of their marriage after 13 years together.
“We have grown apart,” Gisele wrote at the time, adding that she felt “blessed for the time we had together.”
The former couple shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Brady is also father to son Jack, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan.
Gisele has since moved on. She married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in December 2025, a few months after the couple welcomed their first child together.
As for Brady? He has remained busy with his post-NFL career and has been linked to several women since the divorce.
But apparently, according to this new account, the end of his marriage was ultimately boiled down to three very uncomfortable words: “We’re not compatible.”
Talk about unnecessary roughness.

Lauren Alaina is coming to Stella Lefty’s defense after the rising star was flooded with criticism over an Instagram post showing off her elegant look for the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
Lefty stepped onto the VMAs red carpet for the first time dressed to the nines in honor of being nominated for Best New Artist and Best Country Song for her top-charting hit, “Boston.”
With her boyfriend and fellow country act Vincent Mason by her side, the Illinois native strutted down the red carpet in a wedding dress from Claire Pettibone’s fall 2015 bridal collection. The stunning gown featured a fitted silhouette that flowed into a long flowy skirt and a back that offered a striking mesh design with layers of long, delicate detailing. Lefty completed the look with her hair styled in an updo, leaving a few loose waves framing her face.
While plenty of online users admired her look and complimented Lefty on her appearance, the comment section also drew a slew of negative remarks, something that Lauren Alaina took notice of and instantly made an effort to call out. Knowing what it feels like to face criticism while living life in the public eye, Alaina urged people to think twice before tearing someone down online.
“The comment section is not passing the vibe check,” she wrote.
The “All My Exes” singer went on to look at the situation from a mother’s perspective, imagining how she would feel if people were speaking about her own daughter that way.
“It makes me sad we live in a world where strangers feel it is okay to talk about someone else this way. My heart breaks thinking someone would ever talk about my daughter like this. Do better everyone,” she added.
This online moment comes amid a wave of recent criticism being aimed at the rising country artist. Alaina isn’t the only one who has come to Lefty’s defense lately. Kelsea Ballerini also recently spoke up for the singer following her Grand Ole Opry debut on September 2.
Ballerini, who is an Opry member herself, took to social media to defend Lefty after the comment section filled with negative messages from people claiming she had not earned her place on the coveted stage.
“…It’s about celebration of all kinds of country music…new, old, traditional, current, however you wanna say it. it’s all important, and it should all be able to be shared in our safest and most sacred stage in country music. celebrate music like the opry does. ❤️,” Ballerini wrote at the time.
This year’s VMAs returned to LA for the first time since 2017, taking over the Peacock Theater with Snoop Dogg as host. Before heading inside to watch the star-studded show and see who would take home this year’s awards, the “I Know I Know” singer took a moment to describe how it felt to be attending the VMAs for the first time.
“Me and my friends last year we actually watched, all of us together, sitting together with a huge bowl of popcorn and all the snacks,” Lefty told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m just thinking about my friends now watching me here and it’s really crazy…I love you guys, wish you all were here,” she added, giving a shoutout to her friends back home.
Lefty has yet to publicly address the criticism. Instead, she has continued to celebrate her recent milestones and the success that has come with her rapid rise in country music.

Riley Green’s performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, on September 26 became an especially memorable night for one very special fan in the crowd.
When attending a concert, it’s almost guaranteed that in some point of the show, the performer will notice a fan who is especially excited to be there, whether they’re celebrating a birthday, attending their first show or simply singing and dancing along. This time, it was an older fan who caught Green’s attention as she danced toward the stage with her cane in hand and a smile on her face.
“I don’t normally do this, but I decided there’s one person in the crowd that im gonna have to sing this song to that really caught my eye,” he told the crowd. “This young lady right here has been giving me the eye all night.”
The country singer was in the middle of performing his hit duet with Ella Langley, “You Look Like You Love Me,” as part of his Cowboy As It Gets Tour when he spotted the fan. She was slowly approaching the very front of the barricade, dancing along the way and clearly enjoying every second of the performance. Green smiled back at her and moments later had taken the mic off the stand and made his way over to her.
He even jumped off the stage to get on her level and put his arm around the woman while singing the story behind the award-winning chart-topper directly to her. The sweet interaction drew attention from the crowd, who cheered as Green made the moment extra personal for the fan.
When the song came to an end, Green leaned his head down toward the woman. She responded by giving him a kiss on the cheek before he made his way back up to the stage.
@stephaniiefig Just when you thought you couldn’t love Riley Green any more… 🦆 #rileygreenconcert #duckman #mountainview #shorelineamphitheatremountainview @Riley Green ♬ original sound – simply.steph
The moment was captured and shared across social media, prompting users to state how sweet it was for him to take the time to acknowledge the woman and make it a night she will hopefully never forget.
One comment read, “When I thought I couldn’t love him anymore and he goes and does this!!”
Another said, “He just made grandmas whole life right then.”
“This was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen last night.”
Other users joked that this moment had given them the idea to dress up as a grandma the next time they attend one of the Alabama native’s concerts so they can score a kiss too.
Riley Green’s “Cowboy As It Gets Tour” will continue through the fall before wrapping up on October 3, at the Choctaw Grand Theater in Durant, Oklahoma. Today, he announced that he has no plans to slow down anytime in 2027 because starting April 1, he will launch the “That’s Just Me Tour,” in support of his latest album of the same name.
The upcoming trek will feature 29 show dates spanning across major cities including Seattle, Chicago, Calgary, Ft Worth, and more. Green will be joined on tour with special guests Muscadine Bloodline, Randy Houser, Jake Worthington, along with Hannah McFarland.

Kacey Musgraves had the incredible opportunity to honor the late Dolly Parton during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
Musgraves returned to the VMAs stage for the first time in five years, paying tribute to her friend and country music icon with a special performance of “I Will Always Love You.” The performance was pre-taped, but still delivered an emotional moment as Musgraves put her own spin on the iconic song.
Musgraves donned a pink gown adorned with feathers and styled her hair in a big, voluminous look, seemingly paying tribute to Parton’s signature style.
The performance opened with a video of Parton singing the iconic song before Musgraves took the lead after the chorus.
Following Musgraves’ performance, Parton reappeared on the screen, saying, “I Will Always Love You.” She then bid farewell with a simple “Bye bye” as she waved into the camera.
Fans reacted to the performance on social media, writing things like, “that performance was straight up beautiful, wow. kaceys voice is unreal” and “wow, kacey always hits the feels, that’s beautiful.”
With three career nods, Musgraves was nominated at the VMAs this year in the Best Country category for “Dry Spell.” Ella Langley ultimately took home the honor for “Choosin’ Texas.”
Days after Parton’s passing, Musgraves also honored her during her Middle of Nowhere Tour stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. While on stage, Musgraves took a moment to remember Parton and reflect on the impact she had on her life and career.
“I’m not over it, and I’m never gonna be over it,” Musgraves told the crowd, according to Rolling Stone.
She went on to call Parton “the closest thing we’ve ever had to royalty” and a “supernova of a person.”
“I definitely, for sure, I would not be able to stand up here and do what I do if it hadn’t been for Dolly Parton,” Musgraves later added.
That night, she dedicated her performance of “Rainbow” to the late singer-songwriter.
Hosted by Snoop Dogg, the “VMAs” aired live from Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 27 (7:30-9:30 PM, ET/4:30-6:30 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network, simulcast on MTV and streamed on Paramount+ (Premium) in the U.S. The show was also available globally the following day on Paramount+ and MTV.
