Crazy Dayz.
What a week it has been. Exactly seven days ago, news broke that Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen had each hired divorce lawyers. The exceptional quarterback, who currently plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Brazilian supermodel had seemed the picture of happiness and success over the course of their decade-plus marriage but oh what we each don’t know, don’t see behind the closed doors of lives.
Apparently the two had been having issues for some years and the whole business unraveled after a “big fight” at the beginning of this year’s NFL season.
Surf fans around the globe immediately turned attention toward the the world’s greatest surfer, Kelly Slater, and a possible, glorious reunion. Slater and Bündchen had famously dated during 2005 – 2006, two of eleven championship years for the Boy from Cocoa Beach, and candles were lit for a rekindling.
“Things” have been extremely volatile since.
Hearts were sent soaring when Bündchen saged her car then crashed when Leonardo DiCaprio and Josh Hartnett emerged as possible competition. Up again when the one-time Vickie’s Hush-Hush model appeared to alter a tattoo to look like Slater to say nothing about her turn to faith healing, but, now, plunging again as Brady has re-emerged, publicly, sending a clear shot over Slater’s bow.
On a podcast interview hours ago, the seven-time Super Bowl winner declared:
There’s things I’m going through in my 40s and it’s life. And you learn to grow up and you learn to deal with life. And that’s what we’re all trying to do. We’re trying to do it the best way we can. I think you realize that there’s a lot, especially in today’s day and age, with how fast things are happening in life for all of us, and the amount of responsibilities we have. You wake up every day trying to do the best you can do, understanding that life has its stresses. And to deal with them with a great support system and understanding and having some introspectiveness in your life where you can look at yourself and say, “Where do I need to commit my time and energy to? And how can I lessen some of the stress and lessen the burden on me so that I can be good for people around me.” So those are all different things that I work at.
To repeatedly refer to Slater as a “thing” seems very calculated, very… pointed. Certainly a shot over the bow but how will the sitting Pipeline Pro respond to the slight? In a battle of GOATs, where would you side? I mean, as a surf fan obviously with Slater but who do you think would, could actually re-win Bündchen’s love?
Tom Brady has millions of dollars and lived in Derek Jeter’s house.
Kelly Slater knows pretty much everything.
Fingernails to nubs.

A classic comment, Twills. Trolling the blowins
Fuck, you must have enjoyed writing that shit.
You obviously have more time on your hands than most…on here acting like your some kind of all knowing intellect.What a laugh-get a life you polluted know nothing know it all.cheers
Twillsy, here is a word that I am sure you are very familiar with. Tool.
You are welcome!
A lot of things, but tell me, tell me what you think also wastes time, I’d love to waste time reading it.
This writer needs to go back to school. What a moron. Sounds like this weirdo never had a girl in his life. I mean the part about Brady and “thing”. Go back to band camp and play a trumpet son!
Yes, i guess so
Lol nah we 👍🏻
Huge reach bro…Brady has em lined up 10yrs younger than Giselle and way hotter. Brady pov-Later Grandma, we good.
His statement doesn’t appear to me to have shit to do with Slater. The context just isn’t there. I think you’d like it to be, but you just caused me to waste my time…. and thats not a cool.
*shit rag writing this is baaad.
Amateur BS.clearly trying to start something by reading into nothing.even for shit rah writing this is bazaar.
Hey Chaz, here’s some breaking news for you! Kelly Slater and Kalani Miller have been dating for over 15 years and plan to marry. If your goal in journalism is to waste people’s time repeating a completely fabricated story that tries to tie the NFL G.O.A.T. to the surf world through his apparently estranged wife’s long-gone former relationship and leave everyone that read it pissed off for falling for it and commenting negatively towards you, surfing, and each other… then you nailed it! Great Job! Surfers are not gossiping teenage girls obsessed with who Harry Styles or Just Beeber is dating and they aren’t burning a candle at either end waiting for what you speculated to happen. The good news… when you get fired by popular demand, Tiger Beat would love to have someone with your total lack of integrity.
The only thing this article is doing, is trying to make Gisele Bündchen seem more relevant as a 46 year old woman than she actually is now. Gisele Bündchen Is so far away from what she once was when she was in her 20s. Gisele Bündchen looks semi good for her age, but Kelly Slater can get a woman in her 20s or early 30s that looks way better than Gisele Bündchen looks now. I know Tom Brady is going to have his pick of the litter of young hot women when this divorce is finalized and it’ll continue until he dies with the amount of money he has, since women chase money regardless of a man’s looks and men chase looks whether a woman is rich or poor. Gisele Bündchen being rich isn’t going to help her get a man. Gisele Bündchen will have to get some old dude in his 60s to find someone that has more money than her. I’m happy for Tom that he’ll be free again to enjoy younger hotter women again without feeling guilty about it. And Kelly Slater is already getting young hot women anyway. Kelly Slater isn’t worried about trying to have something serious with Gisele Bündchen again. There’s a reason she’s an ex.
he/she will find a betterman…late. out!
That bitch is ugly as hell and surfers are losers
Let her go
She obviously never heard her vow she said, “in sickness and in health”
In other words in good and bad times.
— remember that part until death do us part
If you have to chase your own wife — what’s the point
He is a great father and a kind gentle man
Yeah you should divorce him
Let’s see who you end with
What kind of sick demented people want a husband and wife to divorce especially when kuds are involved. No wonder the world is effed up.. SMH
Kelly Slater isn’t worried about trying to be with Gisele Bündchen‘s 46 year old butt. He can get younger hotter women in their 20s and early 30s that expect less and don’t have Tom Brady’s kids around. This article is just trying to promote a female that’s breaking up her family.
Really I believe people in the media etc read too much into every word that people say. Tom is going through something and I’m sure he has many “things” to deal with . Let’s just leave them alone.
Friggin’ Chas for Brains writes this bs article?! This is retarded!
