It’s no secret these days that the once good pals, Tom Brady and Donald Trump, aren’t such good friends anymore. But a new report from Total Pro Sports has seemingly shed a little more light on the “why” behind that bad break-up and, spoiler alert, it’s so hilariously Donald Trump in a nutshell, we couldn’t hit the nail any harder if we tried to.
The sports publication recently reported on an excerpt from the upcoming book by Jonathan Martin, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future, that apparently revealed one of the driving forces behind Brady and Trump’s “horribly soured” relationship was, as it turns out, the “painstakingly health-conscious” foods that Brady’s model wife, Gisele Bundchen, was cooking for the now-retired quarterback.
Trump and Brady’s one long and close friendship got its start back in 2001 when Donald called on the football player to judge a Miss USA competition. Following this, the pair was very public with their friendship, often swapping PR compliments to one another, especially throughout the early 2000s. But according to a report from Yahoo! News, this all began to change when Brady married his wife and began to adhere to a notoriously strict and rigorous diet and lifestyle change.
The excerpt from the new book reads, “The football star, Trump said, had not been the same after marrying Gisele Bundchen, who insisted on cooking him a painstakingly health-conscious diet.”

According to reporting, Trump made those particular remarks about his former football star friend as recently as 2020.
Of course, before Brady became the health-conscious fool that he is today, Donald notoriously told Playboy back in 2004, “I think he and Ivanka would make a great combination.” We’re sure Jared loves to look back on that fondly.
Brady has been a bit of a tumultuous force in Donald’s life outside of his eating habit as well — infamously being spotted with a MAGA hat in his locker back in 2016, only to distance himself from the former reality TV washup turned president once Donald took office. Brady has since publicly spoken out about the difficulties he experienced in trying to balance his personal friendship with Donald Trump against the politics.
“Then the whole political aspect came, and I think I got brought into a lot of those things because it was so polarizing around the election time,” the now-former quarterback told Howard Stern back in April 2020. “It was uncomfortable for me, because you can’t — and not that I would undo a friendship — but the political support is so different than support of a friend.”
Trump was reportedly left enraged in 2017, upon discovering that his old pal was skipping the Patriots’ White House. Brady did make an appearance at the White House last year but would go on to publicly criticize the then-outgoing president for his unhinged refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“Not a lot of people think we could’ve won,” Brady said at the time. “In fact, I think about 40 percent of the people still don’t think we won.”
As noted by Total Sports Pro, Tom Brady made a massive shift in his eating habits around 2005, with the help of his supermodel wife and then-newly hired body coach Alex Guerrero. Reports now indicate that Brady consumes 80 percent of his calories from plant-based sources, and a mere 20 percent from fish or meats.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is still serving Big Macs and Fillet O’ Fishes at his parties.
