Because Bündchen, 42, and Brady, 45, filed in Florida, the paperwork were public. Newman, who operates in New York, where files are confidential, said a public divorce might hurt a celebrity's image.

They were married for 13 years. Benjamin is 12 and Vivian is 9. Brady has a 15-year-old son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
