Tom Brady is seemingly dissing ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
The 47-year-old football player opened up in a candid newsletter about parenting his children.
“I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,” he began in his 199 newsletter, sent out Tuesday (July 29).
“I chose to do it by playing football.”

“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.”
He shares son Jack, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan and kids Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, with Gisele.
He added that “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.”
“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.
“You won’t be perfect. Nobody is. You will fail and disappoint people along the way. But if you stay committed to your goals over time, even when your priorities shift (which they do at times), then you can be confident that you are living a life of integrity and purpose.”
The couple divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage while he played another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before announcing his retirement for good in February 2023.
