The wife of NFL star Tom Brady has reportedly met with a divorce lawyer amid rumours of marital problems.

Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, who is the mother of two of Brady's children, is said to have been feeling left out due to the ongoing deflategate case.

Brady was issued with a four-game ban after being deemed generally aware that New England Patriots' staff members had deflated footballs in their AFC championship victory over the Indianapolis Colts in January.

According to Us Weekly, due to the strain on their marriage, Bundchen has consulted a divorce lawyer. However, Brady apparently believes that it is only a threat and is not taking it too seriously.

The couple have been married since 2009.
