The Brazilian supermodel is excited to see her husband return to the field.
Gisele Bündchen, 41, publicly reacted to the news of the 44-year-old Tom Brady’s return to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season on Monday.
“Here we go again! Let’s go lovey! Let’s go Bucs!” she commented on her husband’s Instagram announcement, according to Comments by Athletes.
Brady, who has won seven Super Bowls during his 22-year NFL career, announced his retirement on Feb. 1 after the Buccaneers lost to the Los Angeles Rams, who scored a field goal in the closing seconds of the game. The Rams went on to win Super Bowl LVI.
He reversed his decision on Monday, announcing on Twitter that he planned to return for his 23rd season with the Tampa for “unfinished business.”
"These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now," Brady wrote.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm

Bündchen is one of the most successful fashion models ever, appearing on over 1,200 magazine covers between 2002 and 2016.
The power couple has been the topic of light-hearted discussion around whether or not Brady is a “trophy husband” to one of the highest-paid models in the world.
NBA star and close friend Lebron James sent him a hoodie with “More than a trophy husband” printed on it as a joke in Dec. 2020.
