The 44-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback announced his retirement earlier this year. However, it lasted for 40 days only. After that, Brady returned to the sport envisioning a Super Bowl title and ending his career on a high note, unlike his past season. While talking about his fatherhood in the final episode, Brady got candid sharing his experience.
“I’m a dad to some amazing children. When I think about being a dad, I think of him because of what my dad meant to me,” he said, wiping away tears. “I know I’m not as good a dad to my kids as my dad’s been to me. I use them as my example of how to keep a family together and to care, to support, and how to love.” Brady added.
“We want our kids to be happy. I want them to be respectful of people. I want them to be kind. I want to make the world a better place,” he continued, before reflecting on what he wishes for his children in the future.
