Tom Brady talks about Gisele Bundchen, marriage and children

When the couple got married, Gisele Bundchen put her career on hold. Meanwhile, Tom Brady was winning Super Bowls with New England Patriots, and his career still hasn’t stopped flourishing. With his various investments, Brady is not only the richest but also the smartest athlete in the world, right up there with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer.

“But that’s an issue, and it’s a very difficult issue to reconcile without just saying, ‘Hey, it’s time to retire.’ And I think there’s, you know, we’re coming to the end here too, so I don’t want to miss any of the kids’ stuff. I think my wife has, you know, held down the house for a long time now, and I think there’s things that she wants to accomplish. You know, she hasn’t worked as much in the last 10, 12 years just raising our family and kind of committing to being in a life in Boston and then moving to Florida.”

Gisele is extremely supportive of Brady’s career

“Football players, we get a good healthy off-season. And I try to do my best with the kids. Although I wish I was there more, but I think if I was there too much, you know, they might be sick and tired of me screwing up everything that’s been going on in the house for a long time too.” 

Brady makes a great point about his wife’s role in his life. But without a shadow of a doubt, Bundchen is keeping their family together, and she’s an absolute queen for being so supportive. After all, being one of the biggest power couples in America has its perks.
