Report: Deflategate nearly cost Tom Brady, Gisele their marriage

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady never appeared overly nervous as he fought the NFL in court over some slightly under-inflated footballs all summer. No. 12 was all smiles at practice and in his rare media appearances, but things supposedly weren’t going well for him at home.

There have been rumors about marital issues between Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen in the past, but they were far more prominent during the 2015 offseason. According to a report from E! Online, they were not unfounded.

Sources reportedly told E! that Brady was difficult to be around while fighting a legal battle over Deflategate and that Gisele left the country on numerous occasions because of it.
