Messiest NFL Breakups: Kroy Biermann, Kim Zolciak & More Splits

By Tom Brady And Gisele Bundchen Unpleasant Kroy Bierman And Kim Zolciak-Biermannnot every NFL love story has a happy ending.

Brady – who retired from football for good in February 2023 – began dating the supermodel in 2006, two months before he met his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan was pregnant with the couple’s first baby. Son Jack arrived in 2007 and the Brazilian became his stepmother.

Brady and Bündchen tied the knot in February 2009 before welcoming two children of their own — son Benjamin and daughter Vivian — in 2009 and 2012, respectively. After 13 years together, the pair sparked split speculation in 2022 when Brady decided to cut back on his professional football retirement after just six weeks off the field. They announced in October of that year that they had officially gone their separate ways.

Zolciak-Biermann, for its part, filed for divorce from Biermann in May 2023 after 11 years of marriage — and the couple were subsequently locked in a lengthy legal back-and-forth. The former Atlanta Falcons linebacker even accused Zolciak-Biermann of having a gambling problem in his petition for full custody of their four minor children: Kroy “KJ” Jr., Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane. Zolciak-Biermann later refuted his allegations about her parentage. (Biermann previously adopted his now-estranged wife’s eldest daughters, Brielle and Ariana, after their wedding in November 2011.)
