HE IS CORRECT
Also women: Why does my husband work so much?
“He continued: ‘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.’”
Ever grown man should adopt that as his motto and post it on the fridge.
‘I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,’ Brady wrote. ‘I chose to do it by playing football.’

Yes, he is the greatest QB of all time.
And I agree with his statement above in general.
However, I think he is being disingenuous about his unretirement being done to provide for his family. He was worth several hundred million at the time. His family was provided for.
He did it because he loved the game and his role in it and the challenge. All great reasons.
But I see his ex’s point about wanting him to be a father and a husband. He probably made promises to her about his first retirement, and then he went back on those promises.
There’s always two sides to this stuff.
“Tom Brady’s first wife was Gisele Bündchen. They were married from 2009 to 2022. Prior to marrying Gisele, he had a son, John “Jack” Moynahan, with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.” OK, Tom, I wonder how Bridget feels about you as a family man?
Sounds OK in my book.
Whatever the profession, few can perform at the height of excellence, year after year, in an 8 to 5 world.
If someone like Tom Brady cannot please his wife, what hope is there for the rest of us? Many women just cannot be satisfied.
Consider the source...
It seems strange that they would break up over him playing for an extra year or two. So he does play for those extra 2 seasons. So what? Obviously it couldn’t have been that bad or I doubt she’d have been with him for 13 years while he was playing.
Where was Giselle’s “concern for her family” when she had a fling with her male Brazilian
Jiu-jitsu coach? Oh right! She was “searching for her authentic-self” or some darned thing.
So, she didn’t understand what he did for a living, and the impact working at that level had on his ‘commitments’?
Or did she think he’d “change for her”....?
He not only provided for his family playing football, but don’t forget he picked up some serious cash pimping that ponzi scheme known as FTX.
Total selfish bitch to get mad because he cared about his career.
I know people with not much going for them who struggled at times but were devoted to each other in marriage and raised great kids. But two highly successful, ambitious, wealthy, famous, and — most of all — self-centered people could not figure out how to make marriage and children work. Are we supposed to be surprised?
“After their split was announced, Bundchen repeatedly alluded to her unhappiness at how much Brady focused on his sporting career at the cost of his family, with his unretirement said to be the tipping point.”
Interesting that so many golfers, gone half or more every week, have no problem keeping things together with a dedicated wife. Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson, Jack and Barbara and many other football players and coaches....👀
I’m taking time to post on a situation that I don’t care about. 😎
What’s that old saying? “No matter how beautiful and perfect you think any woman is, some guy dumped her because he was sick of her shit.“
She’s not really all that great looking either, IMO.
