Tom Brady is finally putting sports aside to focus on family after retiring from the NFL for the second time and finalizing his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
“I look forward to exploring a lot of other parts of life that have been put aside for a time being,” Brady said in Monday’s episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast on SiriusXM. “I’ll feel some different things, I’m sure, as things go along, but you know, I’m doing great.”
The former quarterback, 45, added that he is “in a great space” and “excited for what’s ahead.”
“My friend says the future happens a day at a time, and I think with any great chapter that ends, there’s another great opportunity ahead,” he said.
Brady also poked fun at himself for retiring twice in one year.
“I’ve done it once before, so I’ve got to figure it out and get good at this actually,” he said, adding, “It’s all pretty new.”
The seven-time Super Bowl champion first retired in February 2022 but returned to the field just weeks later. Last week, he announced he was leaving football “for good.”
Brady and Bündchen, 42, were married from 2009 to 2022 and share two kids together: son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10. The athlete also co-parents son Jack, 15, with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Sources told Page Six exclusively last September that Brady’s decision to briefly un-retire played a part in the demise of his 13-year marriage.
“Gisele has always been the one with the kids,” one insider shared at the time. “They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.”
Despite their issues, the supermodel showed support to the father of her children when he announced his second retirement, wishing him well in an Instagram comment.
Brady and Bündchen are co-parenting their kids and both live in Miami. She purchased an $11.5 million mansion across from his compound. They also separately toured an elite private school for Benjamin and Vivian to attend.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel has been spending much of her time with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente as of late, though it’s unclear if they are more than just friends.
Meanwhile, a source told Page Six last week that Brady won’t be dating anyone anytime soon.
“He isn’t formally dating anyone right now,” the insider shared. “His friends want to set him up, but he’s all about the kids.”
And yet, Brady made headlines Monday for posting a shirtless thirst trap in his underwear on Instagram. Perhaps he’s just putting out feelers.
