Lamar Odom Says Bündchen Will Want Brady Back After Another Super Bowl Win

Lamar Odom has spoken about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's divorce and has tipped the couple to reunite in the future.

The 42-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers star spoke about the NFL legend's split on his On The LO podcast, and said that Bündchen would come back to Brady if he won another Super Bowl.

Brady, 45, is already the most successful NFL player, with seven Super Bowl triumphs from the 10 times he has played in the end of season showpiece.

Speaking to street basketball star, Tavorris Bell, who is also known as "Night Train," they both mused as to why Brady and Bündchen split and what it would take for them to reconcile.

Bell opened up the discussion by declaring that he never felt that Brady and Bündchen were suited in the first place, despite them having a 13-year marriage before their split.

Bell said: "I never thought that was a good mix, she seemed too boring. I don't know, maybe for Tom Brady it just… if I'm the guy, in my sport, whether it is rugby, soccer, who gives a f***, if I'm that guy, I don't know.

"I know she is crazy in the fashion world, like she is the Tom Brady of the fashion world… it's just that look seems boring.

"Tom Brady seems like he should be a single motherf***** for the rest of his life."

Odom, who had a controversial career because of his off-court activities, as well as a high-profile marriage to Khloé Kardashian, questioned whether Brady should continue playing, saying that it "can get boring," after the quarterback reversed his decision to retire over the summer.

He said: "Do you want him to do it until he is 60, 70? That can get boring though."

He also made a heartfelt comment about his ex-wife.

In a candid moment, Lamar said: "I wish I still had my wife, that is all I'm going to say about that… Khloé was good to me…"

He then turned his attention back to Brady and said that he thinks Bündchen would go back to him in the future.

The former NBA star said: "So, Tom Brady is getting divorced but when he gets another ring, she'll be onto him, you know she'll be back.

"People love fame. I'm sure he could have had anybody and she could have had anybody but they chose each other for a reason."

Bell added: "But you can be with someone for a long time but not even know who they are and their career can dictate that a lot… I don't think she gets her status unless she's with Tom Brady, that has to be taken into consideration too."

Previously in the podcast, Odom told a story about how a pawnbroker returned his NBA championship winning rings at a Lakers game on October 20.

He said that the unidentified man promised to return his rings as he had worked hard to earn them during his career.

Odom said: "I saw this guy who used to sit by us [at the Crypto Arena]. Let's call him France for right now, my man France.

"So, he says 'you're Lamar, you know uhm…I bought your rings.'

"I was like 'oh s***' because at this point I'm still embarrassed. You know, at the time, I was really embarrassed because, you know, people thought I was put in a coma [in 2015] by using cocaine.

"What was really crazy was that I was really mad that night because I didn't even have any cocaine to do."

Odom continued: "So, he was like 'yeah, I have your rings' so you know after getting over that embarrassment, he [France] was like 'yo, just come pick them up.'

"I pulled up on him and he gave me my s*** back…for nothin'."

Odom had sold both the rings six years ago—which were for the last championships won by Kobe Bryant—in 2009 and 2010.

Odom said that he had needed the money to pay for treatment after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel near Carson City, Nevada, in 2015, after a near fatal drug overdose.

The rings were put up for sale in an auction in 2020 and sold separately for $36,600 and $78,000.
