Tom Brady Openly Discusses 'Challenging' Divorce from Gisele Bündchen as He Reflects on Final NFL Season.
The former quarterback's candid conversation with MLFootball highlights the personal struggles he faced during his last season in the league, which was played just a year after he and Bündchen finalized their 13-year marriage. Brady described it as "tough," admitting that he was dealing with family issues and that they took a toll on his performance.
Retired from football for the first time in February 2022, Brady chose to step away at an age when most players still had a long career ahead of them. His decision allowed him to spend more time with his children, particularly as his kids entered their teenage years. With two children from his marriage to Bündchen and another child from his previous relationship, the NFL star has stated that having family in mind was his primary consideration.
The 48-year-old noted that he tried to give it his all during his final season but ultimately couldn't shake off a sense of dissatisfaction. He acknowledged that his last year's performance could have been better if the situation had been different and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to play one more season, considering the unique circumstances at hand.
Brady is currently single again after being linked to Alix Earle on New Year's Eve. He previously dated model Irina Shayk following his divorce from Bündchen in October 2022.
