“Why Have I Done It for as Long as I Have?”: Tom Brady Explains How Love for Football Ruined Relationship With Gisele Bündchen

Bucs quarterback Tom Brady has had quite an emotional 2022 in terms of his personal and professional life. Early this year, he announced his retirement, and 40 days later, he announced his return to the NFL again. Then, he had a long emotional battle with his now ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, which ended in divorce in October.

Recently, Brady got candid and talked about the emotional struggle he had to go through this year, especially after his divorce.

It is worth noting that Bündchen was not happy with Brady coming back out of retirement just after 40 days. According to multiple reports, this caused a rift between the two, as the former Victoria’s Secret model wanted Brady to be more with the family; however, Brady chose football instead. Brady talked about choosing football and his other priorities in life as well.

In the latest episode of his weekly podcast interview, ‘Let’s Go,’ Brady had a lot to say about his emotional struggles. “I think there’s so many ways for me that it just keeps great perspective for me in my life. Why have I done it for as long as I have? You know, physically, I’ve explained that and I’ve tried to take care of myself,” Brady stated.

“Then emotionally, that’s where I think as you get older the challenges really come in, you know — because we can get distracted by other parts of life. And not distracted in a bad way but there’s priorities that take over,” Brady further stated.
