Long before anyone even knew what her name was, former nanny Christine Ouzounian had quite the reputation. People blamed her for breaking up Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's marriage, even though Jennifer later stated that the family's former nanny had nothing to do with their split.

So why didn't fans believe her?

Because not only was Christine photographed out with Ben, but she was also apparently friendly with Tom Brady; she was reportedly in the company of both Tom and Ben mere days before Affleck's divorce was announced.

The question is, how did Tom Brady factor into the equation, and what did Gisele think of the situation?

Christine Ouzounian Caught A Ride On Tom Brady's Jet

In 2015, headlines announced that Christine Ouzounian had traveled with the still-married Ben Affleck to a charity event. The way they traveled, however, wasn't really publicly revealed. It was kind of enough that Ben had been photographed with the nanny amid his marital troubles. That alone set tongues wagging.

But a specific photograph proved to fans that there was more to Ben's bond with the nanny than just her caring for his three kids. In the photograph, which was widely shared by fans but also publicized by tabloids, Christine is photographed sitting shoeless in a seat on an airplane.

On her hands are multiple Super Bowl rings; these apparently belong to Tom Brady, and so did the jet.

How Did Christine Ouzounian Know Tom Brady?

The suspicious thing about the whole scenario was first, that Ben was traveling anywhere with someone who wasn't his wife. At the time, his divorce proceedings hadn't yet been publicized, but of course, he and Jennifer reportedly split before the private plane trip (as sources would later suggest).

Apart from that, people also wondered just how friendly Christine was with Tom Brady. Sure, Ben and Tom might be pals, and sure, they might travel together.

But why would Tom Brady let his friend's mistress/girlfriend/nanny wear his super-valuable Super Bowl rings? And how did Brady's wife feel about the whole thing?

Was Gisele Upset With Tom About Christine Ouzounian?

Before speculating about what Gisele said or did, fans can pretty much confirm that no woman would be happy about her husband being on a private jet with someone like Christine Ouzounian.

And it has nothing to do with who Christine is or what she may or may not have done with a married man. Her reputation was already ruined, so for her to be in Tom Brady's company could have meant a mega meltdown for his public image.

Yes, many women would also be worried that their husband was on a private jet sharing his career accomplishments with some random woman who knows his friend.

Anyway, sources at the time suggested that Gisele was really upset with Tom. Allegedly, Gisele "threatened divorce" after hearing about Ben and Tom's exploits on the private jet with Ouzounian.

One publication even stated that there was "more the model does not know about," though no word on whether she ever learned what that "more" was.

Some said Gisele didn't know why Tom Brady invited Christine Ouzounian and Ben Affleck on his jet in the first place. And after the circa-June 2015 photo was publicized, people speculated that Tom and Gisele were going to "pretend" everything was fine, and then it appeared so around their public appearances in September of that year.

Even if Gisele didn't make a public comment about the rings and the nanny, her husband's peers didn't seem happy about it. Damien Woody said he had his Super Bowl rings "locked up" and that his "wife would not want the nanny" wearing them.

Michael Strahan pointed out that he'd seen the photo and wondered why Tom was "carrying around all his rings," because that was just not normal.

Nothing Ever Came Of The Nanny Rumors

Though plenty of theories came from fans' minds when the image of Christine wearing Tom's rings surfaced, no one really knows what happened on that jet. Some fans think Tom was being a bro and helping Ben Affleck impress his girlfriend.

Others think there was something ickier at play, involving both the celebrity men and the already-disgraced nanny. But whatever the case, Ben Affleck has clearly moved on since. Tom and Gisele, of course, seem as happy as ever.

Now that her time in the spotlight seems to be over, Christine Ouzounian appears to have found a new career path and sort of glosses over her time nannying in her resume. She probably doesn't talk much about that fated private jet trip or her Super Bowl ring bling, either.
