Tom Brady Evacuated Family Amid Catastrophic Hurricane Ian's Path

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, have reportedly evacuated their family from their Tampa Bay home ahead of Hurricane Ian making its way through the city this week.

Brady and Bündchen, along with their son, Benjamin, 12, and daughter, Vivian, 9, as well as Brady's son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, 15, whom he shares with actress Bridget Moynahan, all made the move to the family's home in Miami, a source with knowledge of the situation told PEOPLE Magazine.

The move comes hours after the Buccaneers announced their decision to move practices to the Miami Dolphins facility on Tuesday ahead of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs set to be played at Raymond James Stadium.

The status for the Sunday Night Football primetime matchup hasn't been changed as of Wednesday.

Tampa is expected to see tropical storm-force wind gusts between 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday and into Thursday afternoon, according to CNN meteorologists.

The Brady family's evacuation comes amid Page Six's recent report that the seven-time Super Bowl champion and his supermodel wife were going through an "epic fight" and hadn't yet reconciled despite Bündchen returning to Florida from their trip to Costa Rica.

A source with knowledge of the situation told the website that the supermodel "isn't back with Tom" and "flew back to Florida to be with her kids but hasn't been to their home in Tampa."

Bündchen was believed to be staying in Miami during her time away from her husband. The source also denied reports of the couple divorcing as being "not true."

Multiple sources claimed that the couple was involved in a series of heated arguments over Brady's recent decision to un-retire from the NFL before leaving their family compound in Tampa for Costa Rica, which coincided with the quarterback's recent absence from the Buccaneers.

Last month, Brady spoke candidly while finally publicly addressing his more than 10-day absence from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following the team's 27-10 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

"It's all personal, you know, everyone's got different situations they're dealing with, so we all have really unique challenges to our life. I'm 45 years old, man. There's a lot of s*** going on so, you know, you've just got to try to figure out life the best you can, you know, it's a continuous process," Brady told reporters after the game via Yahoo Sports.

League sources with knowledge of the situation told Pro Football Network that Brady made a commitment to spend time with his family, primarily his wife, at an exclusive resort during his time away from the team, which was planned before his decision to return for his 23rd NFL season in March, just weeks after his initial retirement announcement.

"His commitment to family and having a personal life was at the heart of this hiatus from football, and there was no medical emergency, as speculated, or other reasons," Pro Football Network wrote, which was re-shared on Twitter by NFL reporter Dov Kleiman.

Brady returned to the Buccaneers on August 22 after initially being absent from the team since August 11.

"#Bucs QB Tom Brady is not at practice today for personal, non-football reasons," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted at the time.. "Coach Todd Bowles will discuss it after practice, but my understanding is he won't be present for a few days."

Rapoport added that "Brady is fine and the team is on board with his reasons for being absent," but noted that it would "be a little bit" of time before the seven-time Super Bowl champion was expected to return at the time of the initial report.

Bowles later confirmed that Brady was expected to be away from the team until after the Bucs' preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on August 20, according to Rapoport.

Brady, who turned 45 last month, announced his retirement, then un-retirement this offseason ahead of his 23rd NFL season.

Brady is the NFL's all-time passing leader for yards and touchdowns, as well as quarterback wins, among numerous other records.

The San Mateo native spent his first 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, leading the franchise to an NFL record six Super Bowl championships (tied with the Steelers), before joining the Buccaneers as a free agent in March 2020, which resulted in Tampa Bay winning its second Super Bowl in franchise history, becoming the first NFL team to win a Super Bowl in its home stadium, in February 2021.
