In August 2022, rumors about the separation between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen began to gain traction because the Brazilian model did not like the idea of Tom reversing his retirement in March of that year.

“It’s a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” Gisele told Elle at the time, adding that they talked about the issue “over and over again.” In October 2022, they announced that they had mutually agreed to divorce, and in February 2023, he announced his retirement from the NFL.

Brady sends message about his fatherhood

However, on numerous occasions, the New England Patriots legend has made it clear how important his children are in his life.

Tom shares his eldest son, 17-year-old Jack Moynahan, with actress Bridget Moynahan. He also has 15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian, whom Brady had with his ex-wife. And although priorities sometimes change, he has always tried to balance his professional career and his role as a father. He has sent a powerful message that demonstrates this.

In his 199th newsletter, which Brady titled “Your actions reflect your priorities,” he shared a profound reflection on his fatherhood and apparently responded to Gisele’s comments: “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football,” he began.

In the letter, TB12 assured that every moment he dedicated to his career, he did so with the legacy and lessons he was leaving his family in mind:

My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused – those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives.

Continuing, Brady said that children follow in their fathers’ footsteps and that there is more than one way to be present for their kids: “reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent. And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs,” he wrote sincerely, accepting his part in it.

“Being a great football player didn’t make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact – from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide,” he wrote to conclude his reflection on fatherhood.

Without a doubt, in a life full of successes, Brady knows that his greatest trophies are at home, and there are three of them.
