Tom Brady and
Gisele Bündchen's relationship is reportedly going through a serious rough patch ... and their issues are apparently so bad, they are not even living together.
The NFL superstar and his wife of 13 years have had several heated arguments recently ... and it all stems from his decision to return for another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
Page Six was first to report.
The details that followed continue to back that narrative ... with
People claiming the couple is not sharing time at home as they navigate through their "rough patch."
The outlet also states the family did not spend Labor Day weekend together -- with Gisele taking their kids to a Miami waterpark, and Tom electing to check out
Jack (his son with actress
Bridget Moynahan) at football practice in New York.
It's no secret -- Gisele has publicly expressed her desire for TB12 to call it a career for at least 5 years ... claiming Brady has nothing else to prove on the field and she would prefer he spent time with their family instead.
In fact, Bündchen spoke about their unbalanced structure with
British Vogue earlier this year ... saying her focus is on their kids and taking care of things at home, while he focuses on football.
If the reports are accurate, it may explain why Tom mysteriously spent
11 days away from the Bucs during training camp ... which led to wild speculation on social media.
