Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s Prenuptial Agreement

There were a few important factors that allowed Tom and Gisele to reach an agreement quickly, including participating in mediation prior to ever filing for divorce  and remaining amicable, by all accounts (which will always speed up the process in a divorce case). However, the main reason their divorce remained uncomplicated? Reports say that Tom and Gisele signed an “iron clad” prenup prior to their marriage in 2009.

By signing a well written prenuptial agreement prior to their marriage, Tom and Gisele removed any question of how their assets would be divided in the divorce. This is important, not only because of their high profile status as a couple, but also because they are each independently worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Their prenuptial agreement likely addressed their net worth entering the marriage, their earnings during marriage, any properties already owned prior to or purchased during the marriage and spousal support. By having a prenuptial agreement that they both voluntarily signed and understood, there really was very little left for them to fight over, other than custody of the kids, which they agreed to share.
