We will continue coparenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve," she shared. "The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish for the best for Tom always."
Rumors of their divorce had been swirling for months, but the duo never commented on the speculation. It's believed their animosity stemmed from Brady's dedication to his career.
