Tom Brady has been at the forefront of speculation for almost an entire year. Following a brief retirement stint, many assumed that the QB was back to complete his quest for an eighth Super Bowl title. Many witnessed TB12’s diligence in the last two decades. The thought of him leaving the game without fulfilling what he wanted to accomplish is quite surprising.

However, in light of the ups and downs he’s withstood on personal and professional fronts, his second retirement announcement may be the best move for his future.

Romance, as it seems, maybe the last thing on Tom Brady’s mind
Reports thrust Brady into a whirlwind of speculation after rumors of a potential split from his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, surfaced. After their consequent divorce in October last year, he could not drown out the drama surrounding his personal life. The QB invested in and endorsed the former crypto giant FTX. The legal chaos that ensued after its collapse was another issue that took over the narrative.
But with the announcement of his retirement, the QB has put speculation to rest. As the reportedly single star, TB12 has also sent fans on the lookout for potential romantic interests. But according to Page Six, there’s no room for romance on the QB’s plate. Reports state that Brady is not formally dating anyone at present. Despite the interest shown, the attention of the QB is on his family.

Tom Brady will focus on what matters the most
At 46 years old, Brady had to find the balance between being a co-parent to his children while juggling the pressure of being a high-performing athlete. In the recent past, reports of the QB touring private schools made fans wonder if he was making moves to head to another team.

But from the looks of it, the QB seems ready to put down roots. Also, focusing on what matters the most at present. While announcing his first retirement early last year, Brady emphasized that he would be stepping away from the NFL to focus on his family. And perhaps, in light of everything that has occurred in the last year, this time around the QB will let football take the backseat as he moves forward.
