PARIS, FRANCE: LeBron James was quick to praise his wife as they met Tom Brady at the Paris Olympics.

Tom Brady told them, “You’re holding it down,” while referring to the pair’s two children, as reported by The Independent.

The LA Lakers star soon replied, “It wouldn’t be possible without her, I’ll tell you that.”

Brady then added, “I know. You guys have fun.”

The 47-year-old former football quarterback and Gisele Bundchen had been married from 2009 to 2022. They also became parents to three children but eventually got divorced.

A tipster had reportedly revealed, “Gisele was not happy when Tom un-retired from the NFL after such a short time.” Another source added, “Gisele is frustrated and sick of his career coming before their family, who has always supported him.”

Netizens call LeBron James ‘savage’

Meanwhile, people have reacted to James’ comment made to Brady.

“Saying that to Tom Brady whose wife divorced him so he could play 1 more year gotta feel weird,” a user tweeted.



 

The second user shared, “Lebron shoulda told him to go see those damn kids 😭😭.”



 



 

The third user wrote, “Lebron is savage for saying that to a recently divorced man 😭.”



 

“Rubbing his successful marriage in the divorced man’s face is just cruel,” the fourth user stated.



 

“Why does every care about Tom's divorce but Tom? Yall keep bringing this divorce up like this man can't go find another wife? He didn't care that's why he kept playing football,” the fifth user commented.



 

The sixth user added, “Tom was like don’t remind me.”



 

A tweet read, “Had to hurt hearing that eh Tom???”

Another tweet was “Tom doesn’t know shit about a good marriage.”

A reaction below an article read, “LeBron certainly wasn't trying to be disrespectful.  He felt his wife deserved a compliment and he gave it to her.  It certainly wasn't a dig at Brady because his marriage ended in divorce.”

“Brady has lost his way. Definitely not a family man with his history. Success is nothing without someone to share it with,” another comment said.

The third comment was “So true, both wives deserved to be complimented. Giving up your career for men to play basketball.”
