Divorce announced just now.
 

Tom Brady and Giselle are both getting divorce lawyers, just announced on FOX.

Sad when that happens to any couple, especially when they have children

Totally expected.

Would have hoped that he will really retire after this year and they would reconcile but oh well.

Brady
 

I suspect there's more to the story than his un-retirement. The tabloids and entertainment news media are probably drooling over the chance to dig into who might be zooming who.

And this would be ANY of our business how exactly?????????? Life happens. Get over it. Even to football players

I really don't care, do you?

Oh Well !

Why is this divorce more tragic than the thousands of others that were probably filed today?

i'd think it would be of some importance for Brady fans, this could affect his game. too bad for the kids

Divorce is hard on children. Bet the press can't wait to feast on this like a pack of hungry wolves. The press will make it harder for the children.

Yes that is who I would really feel sorry for.

Not always. My hubby was the product of one of those "we stayed together for the benefit of the kids" homes and he said it would have been MUCH easier on everyone if they had split up earlier. Sometimes we visualize something as worse than the actual truth. (Responding ONLY to the divorce part, totally agree on the press issue)

I understand what you wrote. Bad marriages are hard on children, too.

Each situation is different. Sometimes it is better to remain together; sometimes it is better to divorce. The lesser of two evils so to speak.

That being the case I have never heard from a friend whose parents divorced when they were children that they were glad their parents divorced. On top of everything else it usually leads to financial hardship, parents fighting over custody and money, who gets the children for which holidays and/or vacation, children's performance at school dropping, children developing sometimes serious behavioral issues, one or both parents lying about the other parent and teaching their children to hate the other parent, moving and changing schools so children lose friends, custodial parents dating, eventually step parents, assimilating with the children of the step parent, and more, much more.

I could not care less. Tom Brady is paid to play football. He is not, as far as I know, vying for father of the year.

If he was vying for father of the year, I might have an opinion on this topic.

But he isn't.

So I don't.
