Gisele Bündchen has opened up about her 'concerns' after husband Tom Brady 'unretired' from the NFL.

The 45-year-old American football great announced his retirement from the sport in February, before quickly U-turning, declaring he had 'unfinished business' on the pitch.

The news delighted his millions of fans, but understandably, his wife Gisele - with whom he has two kids - had mixed feelings about the move.

Speaking to Elle, the model said the subject of his retirement had been discussed many times, but ultimately she wants him to be happy.

The 42-year-old said: "Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present.

"I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."

She also agreed that media depictions of her being desperate for her husband to retire are rooted in sexism.

"I think this is the system we've been living in," she said. "That's what society has accepted and what society hasn't accepted."

Brady won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots before adding a record seventh with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has now returned to the Florida side, coming in as the oldest quarterback to start a game in NFL history when he lined up against the Dallas Cowboys yesterday (Monday 12 September).

Brady led the league in passing yards (5,316), touchdowns (43) and completions (485) in what looked to have been his final season and holds career records in all three categories from his 22 years in the league.

He has been named league MVP on three occasions and Super Bowl MVP in five of his wins.

In 318 regular-season games pre-retirement, he threw for 84,520 yards and 624 touchdowns, completing 7,263 of 11,317 passes along the way.

His 12,449 yards and 83 touchdowns in the post-season are also records, while he is one of only two starting quarterbacks to win Super Bowls with two different teams – the other being his long-time rival Peyton Manning with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.

Announcing his retirement U-turn in March, he tweeted: "These past two months I've realised my place is still on the field and not in the stands.

"That time will come. But it's not now. I love my team-mates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible.

"I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG."
