Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen announced their separation back in October 2022 which ended their 13-year-long marriage. Since then, there have been a lot of rumors and news regarding the former American footballer’s personal life.
Recently, a post on Twitter has been going viral with the claim that the Brazilian model demanded half of Brady’s property during their divorce settlement. The widely circulated tweet read, “Footballer Tom Brady’s wife filed for divorce and demanded half of his property.”
It further said, “However, she was informed by the court that her ‘MILLIONAIRE’ husband owns nothing.” The tweet continued, “As all his property is registered under his mother’s name.”
The viral post has around 8.5 million views so far along with 34k likes, more than 2 thousand reposts and bookmarks as of this writing. Now that the post has grabbed millions of attention, there is no evidence to prove the claim made by the tweet.
Brady and Gisele finalized their divorce “amicably” and the details regarding their settlement, custody, financial account, and other settlements haven’t been disclosed to the public. The community note attached to the tweet explains the same.
The part stating that the former quarterback’s property is owned by his mother lacks reliable evidence. No credible source has made such a claim.
Meanwhile, several people in the comment section seemed to have believed the post. A lot of the users even related to football player Achraf Hakimi’s case as his wife Hiba Abouk had to walk away from the court with nothing after learning that the Paris Saint Germain star’s fortune was in his mother’s name.

Another, “lmao real ones know what this is referencing.”
Another comment referring to the PSG football player, “Copying Hakimi old headlines word for word , bar for bar is nasty work.”
One more, “Didn’t a soccer player do this too.”
Last but not least, “I thought this happened with a pro soccer player.”
