According to a source, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have recruited divorce lawyers.

A source close to the separated couple told CNN on Tuesday that Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, who have been living apart in recent weeks, have each engaged divorce lawyers and are "exploring their options" with regard to their union.

Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback who presently represents the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Bündchen, a model, have reportedly been having "marital troubles," according to a source close to the couple, as reported by CNN last month.

A source close to Gisele Bündchen told CNN in September that the couple, who wed in 2009, had been "living separately."

Brady, 45, announced his retirement from the NFL in February before later changing his mind.
