New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's Deflategate scandal has been ongoing for quite some time and naturally in these trying times he needs all the support he can get — especially from wife Gisele Bundchen.
However, recent news came up, as per PEOPLE, that the couple's marriage has been on the rocks because of the tension brought about by the Deflategate issue.
A source close to Tom Brady said, "There have been a lot of stresses in their marriage in the last year, especially during football season," adding that the football star can be quite "nasty and cold" when consumed in his own difficulties. "Tom is singularly focused on his career and sometimes Gisele feels left out. There have been arguments."
The fact that the lovely pair spent time apart such as not celebrating their summer birthdays in each others company like the usual, Gisele Bundchen's absence at her husband's court hearing and the New England Patriots' pre season game last Aug. 14 against the Green Bay Packers — well it pretty much fueled speculations that something was brewing in their marriage.
But, some sources dismissed the rumors and said, "This summer was just a bit different. Gisele had a lot going on, so they weren't always in the same place at the same time."
E! News reported that the world's top paid supermodel nevertheless, took to Instagram to prove to the world that all is well between her and Tom, shared a photograph of their family, with her kissing her beloved and greeted him on his birthday last Aug. 3.
She captioned the snap: "Happy birthday my love! We're so blessed to have you in our lives. Thank you for always giving us so much love. We love you! #love #family Feliz aniversário meu amor! Nós somos muito abençoados por tê-lo em nossas vidas. Obrigada por sempre nos dar tanto amor. Nós te amamos! #Amor #família."

Surprisingly or not, after that sweet post, reports came out that the two have constantly bickered with each other and that the argument that arose after Tom Brady's birthday might be the last straw that holds their marriage together.
According to OK! magazine, the power couple might be added to the list of celebrities heading for splitsville or a $460 million divorce.
An insider claimed, "Things between Tom and Gisele have been strained for a long time. Gisele is ramping up the social media activity because her marriage is breaking down."
The insider continued that after Tom's birthday celebration things got ugly and stated, "As soon as they got home, things really came to a head.
They started bickering and it turned into a fight where they each dredged up every issue with the other that they'd been suppressing," as per Hollywood Life.
Time will tell if a Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen divorce will be revealed to the public.
