Sources connected to Gisele tell TMZ … Gisele has separated from Tom and threatened to divorce him several times over a period of years … and it was all over football.

Our sources say the sticking point for years has been that Gisele wanted Tom to get out of the game … and although she’s publicly talked about her fear he would develop CTE, she’s been very upset with his NFL schedule … which takes him around the country for 6 months out of the year. We’re told she simply hates it.
We’re told Gisele has threatened divorce in the past — each time over football — but they were able to work things out. This time, however, we’re told it’s different.
Both have hired high-profile, family law attorneys in South Florida … and her lawyer has repped a number of celebs in high-profile divorces. Our sources say the lawyers are already working on terms, including a property settlement.
We’re told it’s “as amicable as it can be.” Tom and Gisele are on speaking terms, but there’s still tension.
