Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback who dominated the NFL with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is soaking up retirement life-and he’s got a big smile on his face doing it. Just over a month after his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen welcomed a baby boy with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente on February 5, Brady’s back to what he’s calling his “true love.” No, it’s not a new romance – it’s football. The seven-time Super Bowl champ shared an Instagram Story that’s got everyone buzzing, proving he’s still all about the gridiron.
Brady posted a snap of himself slinging a football at UCLA’s training facility, captioning it “True Love” with a flexing emoji. The 47-year-old, who hung up his cleats after 23 iconic seasons, followed it up with a car selfie rocking three more flexing emojis and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” as the soundtrack.
“He’s clearly enjoying retirement,” an insider told E! News, hinting that Brady’s found joy tossing the pigskin again, even if it’s just for fun. After two decades with the Patriots and a final three-year stint with the Bucs, it’s no shocker he’s drawn back to the sport that made him a household name.
Gisele’s big news-she and Valente’s first kid together, joining Brady’s kids Vivian, 12, and Benjamin, 15-hit headlines hard, but Tom’s keeping it cool. The couple split in October 2022 after 13 years, and while Bündchen’s thriving in Miami with her new family, Brady’s carving his own path.
Brady’s ‘true love’ is still football
“Football’s always been his first passion,” a source close to him dished to The SportsRush, noting how he’s balancing dad duties with Jack, 17 (from ex Bridget Moynahan), and his younger two while staying connected to the game. That post-Gisele glow-up? It’s all about the field.
Since retiring, Brady’s not just chilling-he’s crushing it as Fox’s lead NFL analyst, calling Super Bowl LIX, just days after Gisele’s baby drop. His 10-year, $375 million gig’s a hit, even if some fans griped early on. Plus, he’s reportedly in deep with the Las Vegas Raiders‘ rebuild, pushing for Pete Carroll as head coach. “Tom’s fingerprints are all over this,” an NFL insider told Daily Mail. And that 10% ownership stake he’s splitting with Tom Wagner? Still in the works, but it’s clear he’s not straying far from football’s orbit.
From epic Super Bowl wins to this retirement renaissance, Brady’s proving his “true love” isn’t fading. What’s next for the GOAT-more throws or more booth magic?
