Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen engaged

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen arrive
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala.

Football star Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen are getting married.
Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots, popped the question
on a private jet on Christmas Eve.

Brady, 31, proposed to Brazilian-born Bundchen, 28, as their jet took off
from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey – with her parents onboard, TMZ reports.
They celebrated with white roses and champagne after she accepted.

Brady and Bundchen have both made headlines with previous
high-profile break-ups.
Bundchen dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio on-and-off for years
before the couple split for good in 2005.

Reports of wedding bells are nothing new here on the Brady beat.
Before today’s Tom bomb, there was a rumor that the couple
would get hitched at Gi’s retreat in Costa Rica in March.

Earlier this month, the Daily News dished that when Tom and Gi
went ring shopping, he wanted to buy her a big piece of bridal bling,
but the world’s richest supermodel said she’d rather have
something “antique-looking and understated.”

And in October, In Touch Weekly gossiped that Tommy snuck into chi-chi Cartier
in Beverly Hills prior to his first knee surgery to check out a $145,000 five-carat
yellow diamond engagement ring. Which is hardly understated.

Tom and Gisele hooked up two years ago after Brady broke it off
with his longtime galpal, actress Bridget Moynahan.
Gi already kicked “Shutter Island” star Leonardo DiCaprio to the curb in 2005.

As the hot celebrity couple were on their getting-to-know-you tour of Europe
in February 2007, Moynahan went public with her pregnancy.

John Edward Thomas Moynahan, who is called Jack, was born in August 2007
and lives with his mom on the Left Coast, but visits with his Dad and his galpal.
In fact, Brady and Bundchen recently purchased an $11.75 million piece of property
in a gated community in Brentwood, Calif., where they intend to build a home.
