If you follow Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen on social media, their life looks like a fairytale.
After all, we’re talking about a legendary NFL quarterback and one of the greatest supermodels of all time.
This week, Gisele wished Brady a happy birthday with a picturesque post.
Things aren’t always this easy for Tom and Gisele, though.
Gisele recently admitted that her marriage with Tom is far from perfect.
“It’s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is. It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids,” she told Vogue.
Brady, meanwhile, has also been honest.
“But that’s an issue, and it’s a very difficult issue to reconcile without just saying, ‘Hey, it’s time to retire.’ And I think there’s, you know, we’re coming to the end here too, so I don’t want to miss any of the kids’ stuff,” Brady told his co-hosts, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray.
“I think my wife has, you know, held down the house for a long time now, and I think there are things that she wants to accomplish. You know, she hasn’t worked as much in the last 10, 12 years just raising our family and kind of committing to being in a life in Boston and then moving to Florida.”

NFL fans believe what they hear.
“I love reading this because it’s impossible to have it all. I don’t care who you are,” one fan tweeted.
“Damn if it’s not even good for this family, no way am I having kids,” another fan suggested.
Brady, meanwhile, is getting ready for another NFL season, this one at age 45.
