Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen took ‘family stabilization’ course before divorce
Putting the children first.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen each completed a “Parent Education and Family Stabilization” course before finalizing their divorce on Friday.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six on Friday, the NFL star, 45, finished the four-hour course on Oct. 25 and his supermodel ex, 42, completed it on Oct. 26.
Bündchen’s certificate notes that the class was “required.”
Per Florida law, separating and divorcing parents must take this course as it’s designed to educate, train, and assist parents in regards to the impact divorce can have on parents and children.
Brady and Bündchen share two biological kids: 12-year-old Benjamin and 9-year-old Vivian. The superstar quarterback also has a 15-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Bündchen filed for divorce on Friday after 13 years of marriage, citing that the union was “irretrievably broken,” according to the court documents.
The records also show that the former couple have agreed on a marital settlement agreement, which will remain confidential.
Both parties spoke out on social media shortly after the news broke of their divorce.
Bündchen wrote on her Instagram Story, “My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart.
“We have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.”
Brady added in his own statement on Instagram that he and his now-ex-wife had made the “painful and difficult” decision “after much consideration.”
“We only wish the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written,” he concluded.
Page Six broke the story in September that Bündchen had gotten into an “epic fight” with Brady over the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s alleged neglect of his family.
An insider told us at the time, “Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.”
Sources told Page Six shortly after that Brady was focused being a “super dad” to all three kids amid his marriage woes.
Earlier this week, Bündchen was seen spending quality time of her own with Vivian and Benjamin at a pumpkin patch just days before the divorce filing.
