With the news that Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are hiring divorce lawyers, all eyes are on the celebrity couple.
However, this is not the first time in recent history that they have faced divorce rumors. In 2015, the former supermodel and star soccer player spoke out after the rumors originally swirled.
Seven years ago, in September of that same year, the wake of the Deflategate scandal reached the couple, as they had not been photographed together for two months. The scandal involved the allegation that the star quarterback had ordered the deliberate deflation of footballs that were used in his then-team’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts during the AFC Championship Game in January that year
After two years of dating, the celebrity couple got engaged in January 2009.

At the time. Brady brushed off the divorce rumors, telling Boston radio station WEEI, “We’re in a great place … I don’t have a bigger supporter than her.”

THE RELATIONSHIP OF TOM BRADY AND GISELE BUNDCHEN THROUGH THE YEARS
“There were a lot of different emotions that I went through,” Brady told the network about Deflategate. “They were all at different times in different circumstances. I think they were all … I took them as they came. Obviously, I faced different adversities in my life, different challenges and you just rely on those experiences and you trust in A lot of people who are around you to support you. This has been a different kind of challenge in my life. I think it’s been a different kind of obstacle to overcome.”
