A forthcoming book says Tom Brady lost almost 20 pounds during marital strain in 2022; former Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians attributed the loss to stress from personal issues. Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s marriage ended in October that year.
Lars Anderson’s forthcoming book, drawing on conversations with Brady’s former coaches and teammates, says the couple had struggled for years. It recounts that after New England’s 2018 Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia, Bundchen told Brady their marriage was not working and she wanted more time and attention. During the 2022 season, Brady reportedly left Buccaneers training camp for 11 days to meet her in the Bahamas in an effort to repair the relationship.
Coach Clyde Christensen said he was unsure Brady would return and described him as an “empty shell” when he did.
