Tom Brady Gets Candid on Missed Family Time Due to Football: “I Do Feel, Maybe, Some Guilt”

Tom Brady has been a part of the NFL for almost 22 years now. He has continuously shown the world that age is just a number. He redefined all the odds when he won his 7th Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in the 2020/2021 season.

Many people believed that Brady wouldn’t be able to replicate his success out of New England. He proved his doubters wrong. However, due to all the success on the field, Tom Brady hasn’t been able to spend a lot of time with his family. He himself has said multiple times that he would have wished to stay with the family a little more.

Speaking about his family, Tom Brady said, “Being available to your kids is really important… I feel like I’m so driven to succeed in football and that’s taken me away from other important priorities, which are my kids, my wife.”

Tom Brady claimed that his wife Gisele Bundchen has been really helpful throughout his life. Gisele has taken care of the family in Brady’s absence.

Brady said, “She’s really held it down for our family. I’m super grateful that she really committed so much of her time the last 14 years to make sure everything was so stable at home, so I could go live my dream. I look back at my parents, and my dad and mom did the same thing for me.” 

Tom Brady feels bad for missing out on time with his family

Even after achieving such success on the field, Brady hasn’t been able to enjoy his life to the fullest. Due to the amount of time spent on football, he has missed out on a lot of time with his family.

Brady said, “I do feel, maybe, some guilt that I haven’t been able to do that in the same way for my kids, but I’m doing the best I can do,” he added. “I’m trying to be really conscious and aware of that, and then when I do have the time to spend with them, I’m really present.”

Even after announcing his retirement at the end of the last season, Brady is back to play football again. Unsurprisingly, his family remains supportive and patiently waits to get the ‘GOAT’ back home.
