Tom Brady’s latest newsletter on parenting comes with a side of shade aimed at his ex, Gisele Bündchen. In his Tuesday post on his 199 platform, the retired quarterback reflected on fatherhood with a not-so-subtle nod to his choices: “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.” Brady, who shares two children with Bündchen and one with ex Bridget Moynahan, wrote that teaching his children the value of commitment meant prioritizing his profession. “Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent,” he said, adding, “Being a great football player didn’t make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact.” The comments arrive after Bündchen publicly voiced concerns about his career. “Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” she told Elle in September 2022. The pair split that October after 13 years of marriage. Reps for Brady and Bündchen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
