Gisele Bündchen is speaking out on behalf of her husband Tom Brady.

The supermodel turned to Instagram Friday to respond to a commenter who questioned whether the New England Patriots quarterback voted for Donald Trump. Typically quiet in the comments section, Gisele made the rare decision to respond to the user. "Gisele I heard you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true??" the follower asked.

Gisele responded, "NO!"

Her denial comes a few days before Trump told a New Hampshire audience Monday night that the NFL star called him earlier in the day to let him know he voted for him. Trump also claimed Brady gave him the green light to go ahead and let that information be public knowledge.

Celebrities Hit the Polls and Vote

"He called today, and he said, 'Donald, I support you, you're my friend, and I voted for you,'" Trump recalled Monday. "And I want to tell you, this guy is a champ, and he's a winner, and he's a great person.

"So I said, 'So Tom, you voted for me, you support me. Am I allowed to say it tonight to this massive crowd in New Hampshire?'" Trump continued. "He said, 'If you want to say it, you can say it.'"

The Republican nominee also said the Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick endorsed him and sent a "beautiful" letter. 

In a radio interview Monday, Brady said he had not voted yet as he had missed the early voting deadline for Massachusetts, but a Fox 25 reporter shared a picture on Twitter that said otherwise. Posing with town officials, Brady appeared to have cast his vote via absentee ballot.

Who knew there could be so much confusion surrounding one person's vote?
