Yes. I had the opportunity to appraise his home in Century City and his beach house in Malibu and she was there. He and his wife were married from 1965 until she died in 2017.

I know they are filthy rich and she does not cook din din and probably not around to do so.
But divorces are common these days,so I am not surprised .

Women also come home from work and would like a home cooked meal.


Wonder how often Tom cooked a meal for his family?

Nobody really knows that, do they?

This is women lib speaking,some men do cook meals,work from home,babysit and clean house.,laundry
If they own a house,then usually the man mows the lawn,paint and do handyman work around the house.
If the marriage is strong,there is no need to squabble who does what?

Giselle has made hundreds of millions of dollars during her career, Tom has made loads too. They can hire all the household help they need.

These are not middle class people.

Mowing the lawn is once a week (and, quite honestly, most women I know do both yard maintenance and snow removal as well). Painting, handyman work - generously once or twice a month.

Cooking is a daily need. Cleaning is a daily need. Childcare is a daily need (and if you call it "babysitting" then you're not much of a parent). Laundry is typically at least once or twice a week, if not more with kids. There's not much of a comparison.

Now, it's not like Tom and Giselle have these issues but I'd argue that a marriage isn't very strong when a boy (not a man) doesn't value domestic labor and overvalues his own impact on the division of work in a home.

True this is.

I think the point is that the both come from modest backgrounds and perhaps like some simple things in life occasionally? I have no idea. I already said maybe they do sometimes cook and aren't ordering take out or having their chef cook every night. I do not think meals are the issue though.

Threads like this do bring out all the misogynists and misandrists though.

People seem to be looking for all kinds of alternative explanations, but both Tom and Giselle have said publicly for some years now that football, and his insistence on playing it into his geriatric years has been a big problem in their marriage, and that Giselle was worried about his health, and also wanted to have more of a husband and father - someone who was around more and had time for her and the kids, not just football. And then of course there's the fact that he *finally* retired, and she was real happy, and then he goes back on that agreement that within a few months. These are not minor issues, you don't need to invent additional ones to explain it.
