Although Tom Brady has already stated that he is retiring “for good,” the former quarterback has now discussed the reaction of his family in the event that he were to return to the NFL.
Tom Brady isn’t going to make his family feel bad about their feelings about his football return.
Not long after declaring his intention to leave the NFL “for good,” the former quarterback addressed the question of how his loved ones would react if he were to return to the game.
“I can’t tease that,” Tom said during the October 9th episode of Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray. This came after Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson made a joke about how the athlete might become an internet sensation by just announcing his comeback to the league. “My folks would get in touch with me.” People would call my kids. It would be a murder. I will not be able to make it by this evening.
A father of four (Jack, 16, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10 with ex-girlfriend Gisele Bündchen), Tom acknowledged that it may be a “smart” way to amass millions of views, but he added, “He’s not coming out of retirement.”
Although he announced his intention to retire in February 2022, the seven-time Super Bowl champion ultimately reconsidered a month later and played one more season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“There’s a limit to how many retirements and unretirements you can have,” he continued, “and I’ve exhausted mine.”

On top of that, Tom has a rather full schedule right now. The 46-year-old is doing a lot: running his enterprises, preparing to join Fox Sports broadcasting next year, becoming a team owner in the UIM E1 World Championship electric raceboat competition, and owning a stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces.
As a father of three, Tom keeps himself quite occupied. If you want to view any old pictures of his family, you’ll have to keep reading.g.
