Former 24/7 Champion and 3-time Super-Bowl Winner, Rob Gronkowski [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rob-gronkowski/] reportedly ended his relationship with WWE as he looks forward to restarting his football career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was reported that the Gronk had a couple of matches in his contract and that it was he who asked for the release. This is a rare instance for WWE fans as they are used to seeing the company be the initiator of release talks. This abrupt move shocked many, as Gronk seemed to retire from NFL with the New England Patriots [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/new-england-patriots/]. But you cannot keep a sportsman away from the game. He followed the spirit and followed the path paved by his ex-teammate, Tom Brady [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tom-brady/], who also signed with the Buccaneers. Everyone was shocked when Gronk announced his departure without dropping the 24/7 Championship. Fans speculated that maybe WWE is retiring the belt. It all seemed legit when Gronk said this during a conference call with the media: “We need a lot of security. We need security everywhere. Every tunnel, every entrance, everywhere in the stadium because I’m the 24/7 WWE title belt champion right now, of the world. “Everyone is coming for me. My friends are coming for me. It’s special right now to have it during this quarantine time because no one can find me. No one gets me. So I’m the champ for a while.” Gronkowski was a troll here. He trolled everyone and this prank which he pulled on the fans got exposed during the recent episode of RAW. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gronk-r-truth-1.jpg] Rob Gronkowski was recording a TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/] video when R-Truth invaded his house. Gronk dropped the belt and with it, the longest 24/7 Championship reign came to an end. ROB GRONKOWSKI AND WWE FUTURE RELATIONS It has been reported that Rob’s contract with WWE bans him from working with any other promotion until a certain period. This rules out the possibility of Rob becoming ‘All Elite’ like Mike Tyson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mike-tyson/] but this showcases the potential which WWE sees in Rob. Gronk has undoubtedly enjoyed his time in the company. He even got Vince McMahon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/vince-mcmahon/] to perform a dive just to show to him that it is safe. Rob might be focusing on football again, however, we shouldn’t rule out the possibility of witnessing him coming back for a few surprise appearances here and there. He might return full time after his football stint ends.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson&#8217;s Net Worth 2024, Salary, Partner, Family, and More Who is Mike Tyson? Michael Gerard Tyson, widely known as Mike Tyson, is an American former professional boxer, often celebrated as one of the most fearsome fighters in heavyweight boxing history. Nicknamed &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221; for his raw power and aggressive style, Tyson dominated the boxing world in the 1980s and became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20. His terrifying persona and unpredictable temperament led him to be known as &#8220;The Baddest Man on the Planet.&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s career, spanning from 1985 to 2005, is marked by both astonishing victories and deeply controversial moments, such as his infamous 1997 &#8220;Bite Fight&#8221; against Evander Holyfield. At the height of his boxing fame, he was one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

Raised in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, he encountered challenges that shaped his life both inside and outside the ring. Tyson’s explosive fighting style, grounded in his legendary “Peek-a-Boo” defense technique, made him an intimidating presence, often winning fights by knockout in the early rounds. Despite his achievements, his life has also been marked by legal issues, financial troubles, and personal struggles, making his story one of resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Mike Tyson’s Early Life Born on June 30, 1966, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson&#8217;s early life was fraught with difficulties. His father, Purcell Tyson, abandoned the family when Mike was young, leaving his mother, Lorna Smith, to raise him and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise, on her own. Tyson’s early childhood was shaped by the challenges of growing up in a crime-heavy neighborhood, often witnessing violence and poverty. Frequent moves and financial instability left Tyson with a chaotic and troubled upbringing. By age ten, Tyson had moved with his family to Brownsville, Brooklyn, known as one of the most dangerous areas in New York City. Tyson&#8217;s aggressive streak became apparent early on, and he quickly earned a reputation as a fierce street fighter. By age 13, he had been arrested 38 times for petty crimes, many related to his involvement in local gangs. Tyson’s life took a positive turn when he was placed in the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile detention center in Johnstown, New York. There, a counselor named Bobby Stewart, who was also an amateur boxing champion, noticed Tyson’s potential. Stewart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing trainer Cus D&#8217;Amato, who became a father figure to the young fighter and took him under his wing. D&#8217;Amato saw raw talent in Tyson and believed he had the potential to become the heavyweight champion of the world. The trainer&#8217;s guidance and discipline laid the foundation for Tyson’s future boxing career and eventual stardom. Image Credits &#8211; Cus D&#8217;Amato Boxing Club (Instagram) Mike Tyson’s Wife, Kids and Former Partners The 58-year-old has been married three times and is the father of seven children, including the late Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens in 1988. The relationship quickly became troubled, with allegations of domestic abuse and erratic behavior leading to a highly publicized divorce in 1989. Givens described Tyson as volatile and abusive, and their split was covered extensively by the media, adding fuel to Tyson’s image as a controversial figure. Tyson’s second marriage was to pediatrician Monica Turner, whom he married in 1997. The couple had two children, Amir and Rayna, but divorced in 2003 due to Tyson’s infidelity. Despite the split, Turner has spoken positively about Tyson’s role as a father. In 2009, Tyson married Lakiha &#8220;Kiki&#8221; Spicer, and they have two children together, Morocco and Milan. Spicer has been a steady influence in Tyson’s life, helping him through personal and financial hardships. Press conference film Bunny-Man.

Turin, Italy 07 February 2024, PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRAxUSA Copyright: xGiulioxLaponexSyncx/xAvalonx 0844275651 In addition to his marriages, Tyson has had relationships with several women, including Kimberly Scarborough, with whom he has a daughter named Mikey Lorna Tyson. His relationship with Sol Xochitl produced two children, Miguel Leon Tyson and Exodus Tyson. Tragically, Exodus passed away at the age of four in 2009 after a tragic accident involving a treadmill cord. This incident deeply affected Tyson, marking one of the most sorrowful moments in his life. Mike Tyson’s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. Tyson’s earnings from boxing were once astronomical, reaching an estimated $400 million in total. During his peak, he was among the wealthiest athletes globally, raking in millions from fights and endorsements. However, extravagant spending, legal issues, and poor financial management led Tyson to declare bankruptcy in 2003. He reportedly owed nearly $23 million to various creditors, including the IRS, after years of high living and costly lawsuits.

(Photo by Focus on Sport/Gettty Images) Since then, Tyson has rebuilt his wealth through a mix of business ventures, endorsements, and public appearances. His 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. drew significant pay-per-view sales, bringing in around $80 million. Tyson also launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0, which has become one of his most lucrative ventures, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. This, combined with endorsements and his podcast Hotboxin&#8217; with Mike Tyson, has allowed him to stabilize his financial status and regain some of his wealth. Mike Tyson’s Career Timeline 1985: Mike Tyson’s professional career began on March 6, when he knocked out Hector Mercedes in the first round. Tyson went on to win his first 19 fights by knockout, 12 of them in the very first round, which quickly established his reputation as a fearsome contender. 1986: Tyson claimed his first title, the WBC heavyweight championship, on November 22, after defeating Trevor Berbick by TKO in the second round. This victory made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at the age of 20 years and 4 months. 1987: Tyson unified the heavyweight division, winning the WBA and IBF titles and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He was widely regarded as the most formidable boxer of his era. 1988: Tyson successfully defended his titles against top fighters, including Larry Holmes and Tony Tubbs, reinforcing his position as the reigning champion.

(via Getty Images) 1990: In a stunning upset on February 11, James &#8220;Buster&#8221; Douglas knocked out Tyson in the tenth round at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, ending his undefeated streak. Tyson&#8217;s defeat to Douglas remains one of the most shocking moments in boxing history. 1992-1995: Tyson was convicted of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before being released in 1995.  1996: Tyson reclaimed the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles in his comeback, defeating Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. Later that year, he faced Evander Holyfield, losing by TKO in the 11th round. 1997: Tyson’s rematch with Holyfield became infamous as the &#8220;Bite Fight.&#8221; Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear, resulting in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking his boxing license and fining him $3 million. 2002: On June 8 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis in a heavyweight title bout that drew 1.95 million pay-per-view buys, ranking among the era&#8217;s highest-grossing events. Lewis leveraged his 84-inch reach and technical skill, dominating the match and knocking out Tyson in the eighth round to retain his WBC, IBF, and IBO titles. This marked Tyson’s final bid for a heavyweight title, solidifying Lewis&#8217;s legacy while concluding a significant chapter in Tyson&#8217;s career. 2005: After consecutive losses, Tyson retired from professional boxing. His last match was against Kevin McBride, where he retired in the sixth round. 2020: Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Despite ending in a draw, the match drew immense viewership, reflecting Tyson’s enduring popularity.

The fight is scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2024, at the home of the Dallas Cowboys at the AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Organized and promoted by Jake Paul&#8217;s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the event will be broadcast live on Netflix, marking the platform’s entry into high-profile boxing broadcasts.

(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images for Netflix) Mike Tyson’s Partnerships and Endorsements Over the years, Tyson has collaborated with several prominent brands, leveraging his fame and boxing legacy. In his early career, Tyson endorsed Pepsi, Nintendo, and Toyota. In recent years, Tyson has endorsed Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups. He also has partnerships with Futurola, a company offering premium smoking accessories like pre-rolls and cones, and Zumiez, a fashion brand. Tyson’s influence expanded with his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, where he interviews celebrities and athletes. His brand, Tyson Pro, offers performance athletic gear, while the MT Collection includes official Tyson merchandise. These partnerships underscore Tyson’s influence in various industries, from sportswear to lifestyle products. There is another partnership that Mike Tyson had. This was with legendary boxing promoter, Don King. Don King became involved with Tyson around the time Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987. Tyson was initially managed by Cus D&#8217;Amato and then later by Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton. After the death of Jacobs in 1988, Don King moved in as a mentor and promoter, positioning himself as a father figure for Tyson. King saw an opportunity in Tyson&#8217;s rising stardom and quickly became his promoter. King promised Tyson greater control over his career and higher earnings. Tyson, drawn by King&#8217;s charismatic presence and promises, eventually parted ways with Cayton, putting his career in King’s hands. (Original Caption) Mike Tyson, Don King, and Mohammed Ali, all clasping hands wearing tuxedos in the boxing ring at the Las Vegas Hilton. During their partnership, King arranged some of the highest-grossing fights of Tyson’s career, including bouts against Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield. Under King’s guidance, Tyson achieved extraordinary fame and wealth, with King reportedly taking a significant percentage of Tyson’s fight earnings. Despite this, Tyson trusted King during these peak years, relying on him as both a promoter and confidant. The relationship began to deteriorate in the early 1990s, especially after Tyson was convicted and imprisoned for assault in 1992. Upon his release in 1995, Tyson’s suspicions about King’s management practices grew. Tyson eventually accused King of exploiting him financially, alleging that King had taken millions from his earnings and engaged in unethical practices. In 1998, Tyson filed a $100 million lawsuit against King, claiming financial exploitation and breach of trust. The suit was settled out of court for a reported $14 million, but Tyson severed ties with King permanently, referring to him in later years as &#8220;ruthless&#8221; and &#8220;deceptive&#8221;. Mike Tyson’s Investments Mike Tyson&#8217;s most profitable investment is in the cannabis industry, where he launched Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand. His unique product, “Mike Bites,” cannabis edibles shaped like an ear, references the infamous “Bite Fight” with Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 has proven to be financially successful, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. Today, the brand is worth more than $16 million. The brand expanded to include a line called “Holy Bites” in partnership with Evander Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 also partnered with Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” brand, increasing its market reach and appeal.

This venture is part of his broader involvement in the wellness and lifestyle sectors, aimed at normalizing cannabis use and reducing the stigma around it.

(Photo by Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images) Tyson’s aggressive “Peek-a-Boo” fighting style was central to his dominance. The technique, taught to him by Cus D’Amato, involved holding his gloves close to his face and constantly bobbing and weaving to evade opponents’ punches. This allowed Tyson to close in on his opponents and deliver devastating knockout punches, often ending fights early. Mike Tyson’s Charity and Foundation Mike Tyson has contributed to several charitable causes over the years, including his own Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, which provides support for at-risk youth. The foundation’s initiatives focus on healthcare, education, and housing, providing a safe environment for children from troubled backgrounds. Tyson has also participated in various events and made donations to support different causes, reflecting his desire to give back to the community despite his turbulent past. Mike Tyson’s House Mike Tyson currently resides in Henderson, Nevada, a suburban area near Las Vegas. His residence is considerably more modest than the luxurious mansions he owned during his prime. Tyson previously owned a mansion in Connecticut that included a nightclub, casino, and indoor pool, among other extravagant features. He also owned properties in Ohio, Maryland, and Nevada. Following his bankruptcy, Tyson sold many of these properties, including his Connecticut mansion, which was later purchased by rapper 50 Cent. Mike Tyson’s Social Media Accounts Tyson maintains an active presence on social media, where he shares updates on his life, career, and business ventures.

New England Patriots

Image Credits: Imago The New England Patriots, a powerhouse born in 1959, carving a legacy of glory with six Super Bowls and a dynasty sculpted by Robert Kraft&#8217;s visionary might. Introduction The New England Patriots wear blue, red, silver, and white. Their owner, Robert Kraft, also serves as the chairman and CEO, while Bill Belichick is their head coach. With  &#8216;I&#8217;m Shipping Up to Boston&#8217; as their fight song, this team sure knows how to take one.  Bill Belichick took over as head coach in 2000 after a disappointing tenure with Pete Carroll &amp; magical NFL draft of GOAT Tom Brady. The New England Patriots, also known as “The Pats,” have had various nicknames over the years, including “The Evil Empire” for their dominance and “The Boogeymen” for their strong defense in 2019. They were also called “The Boston TE Party” when they had great tight ends from 2010 to 2012. The New England Patriots in a nutshell The Patriots started as the ‘Boston Patriots’ on Nov 16, 1959, in the American Football League. They are now known as the ‘New England Patriots’ in the NFL. The NE Patriots, founded in 1959, began playing in 1960 and call Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, their home for NFL games. They were originally called the Boston Patriots from 1960 to 1970 and then became the New England Patriots in 1971, a name they have retained ever since. Robert Kraft, a native of Brookline, Massachusetts, and a longtime Patriots fan since the 1960s, has been involved in the NFL. Robert Kraft, a big Patriots fan, bought the team in 1994 for a staggering $172 million. He has served on owner committees and boards, including the Apollo Theater.  Founded 1959  Home Venue Gillette Stadium  City Foxborough, Massachusetts  Division AFC East  Known As The Pats, The Evil Empire  Owner Robert Kraft  Worth $7 billion  In the year Kraft bought the team (1994), the Patriots advanced to the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons. Since then, they&#8217;ve won six Super Bowls, been to 10, and have the best win record in sports after 28 years. According to Forbes, today’s the Patriots&#8217; valuation hovers around an impressive $7 billion. The New England Patriots 2023 schedule The New England Patriots are having a tough season with one win and four losses after Week 5.

His performance placed him in the top 2.6% of all NFL defenders, a truly impressive accomplishment. Kyle Dugger (Safety) In 2020, the 27-year-old player was selected as the 37th pick by New England.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee on April 16, 1952, Bill Belichick rose through the ranks in the NFL. His coaching journey began modestly in 1975 as an assistant with the Baltimore Colts. Over the next 12 years, he honed his skills working with the New York Giants. In the early &#8217;90s, he took on the role of head coach for the Cleveland Browns. Later, he found his home with the New England Patriots, where he eventually became the head coach. Although he had a brief stint with the New York Jets, he never led them in a game. Notably, the Patriots&#8217; owner Robert Kraft granted Belichick significant authority in managing the team. Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots&#8217; head coach, is a legend in the NFL. He&#8217;s won 8 Super Bowls, the most ever. He&#8217;s also got 6 Super Bowl wins as a head coach, the most. He&#8217;s been to the Super Bowl 12 times, with 9 as a head coach, another record. In the playoffs, he&#8217;s got 31 wins, the most as a head coach, and 19 playoff appearances, tied for the most. He&#8217;s won his division 17 times. Bill Belichick is an NFL icon with a unique legacy.

However, in 2002, it was demolished and replaced by Gillette Stadium, along with a shopping center. Gillette Stadium, now the Patriots&#8217; home, has a capacity of approximately 65,878 fans. The playing surface switched from grass to FieldTurf in 2006. Recently, in 2021, a substantial $225 million renovation project commenced, aiming to be completed before the 2023 NFL season. The New England Patriots Mascot In 1959, the Boston Patriots introduced Pat Patriot, a mascot crafted by cartoonist Phil Bissell. This character symbolizes the rich history of the New England region. Today, Pat Patriot proudly serves as the mascot for the New England Patriots football team.

In fact, back in 2015, he earned the title of the second creepiest mascot in football, trailing only the San Diego Chargers&#8217; Boltman. Controversies The Spygate scandal involved allegations that the Patriots illegally videotaped their opponents&#8217; signals before games. Having knowledge of opponents&#8217; coverage before plays provided them with an advantage on offense. According to a documentary by the YouTube channel ‘BeastModeHighlights,’ the Deflategate controversy arose when it was discovered that 11 of the 12 balls used by the Patriots in a game were significantly below league requirements. This raised questions about whether the Patriots had gained an unfair advantage by using underinflated footballs. The Patriots&#8217; arrival, tactics, and their validity as a dynasty were questioned by rival teams and coaches. The controversies surrounding Spygate and Deflategate cast doubt on the integrity of their success. Jets&#8217; head coach Eric Mangini, a former disciple of Bill Belichick, revealed information about Belichick&#8217;s filming of defensive signals. READ MORE &#8211; “We’re Doomed”: Fans Ring the Alarm Bells as New England Patriots Owner Robert Kraft and Drake’s Picture Resurfaces Security caught one of Belichick&#8217;s associates in the act during a game against Mangini&#8217;s team, leading to further investigations. As a result of the investigation into their filming practices, Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, and the Patriots organization was fined $250,000. The team also lost a first-round draft pick for 2008. Regarding Spygate: Initial claims and later retractions &#8211; Allegedly, the initial allegations were made by the Boston Herald regarding the New England Patriots videotaping the St. Louis Rams&#8217; walkthrough practice before Super Bowl 36. However, the allegations were later retracted by the Boston Herald. According to reports available on the internet, the Jets and Broncos were also caught filming opponents&#8217; plays and signals before games. The Jets were caught filming Patriots plays and defensive signals from both end zones of Gillette Stadium in 2006. The Broncos were fined for filming the 49ers&#8217; walkthrough before a game between the two teams in London, with Josh McDaniels as their head coach at the time. The New England Patriots Pro Football Hall of Famers In the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Patriots are represented by 11 individuals. Among them, 10 are players, and 1 is a coach.

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

(Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images) After leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV trophy in 2021, Brady signed a 2-year extension with Tampa Bay. He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena. More often than not, it is his ex-wife Gisele BÃ¼ndchen who is associated with the football legend. There have been a couple of actresses Tom Brady had dated before her. One of the prominent names is the &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; star, Bridget Moynahan. They dated for more than a couple of years, and during this period, the actress was spotted with Brady on many occasions. These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas! The couple split in December 2006, and Brady started dating BÃ¼ndchen. However, the following year, Moynahan announced that she was three months pregnant with Tom Brady&#8217;s child. Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack. The eldest son of Brady shares many traits with the superstar former quarterback. He enjoys playing many sports, including football and basketball. Gisele BÃ¼ndchen has also been a vital part of his upbringing. Eventually, Tom Brady married Gisele BÃ¼ndchen in 2009. They got married twice &#8211; the first ceremony was carried out at St. Monica Catholic Church in California and the second ceremony was at BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s Costa Rica home. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; MAY 06: Tom Brady (L) and Gisele Bundchen attend the Costume Institute Gala for the &#8220;PUNK: Chaos to Couture&#8221; exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Stewart/Getty Images) In June 2009, the supermodel announced that they were expecting their first child together, Benjamin Brady. Unlike his older brother, Benjamin isn&#8217;t much fond of sports. However, now and then he indulges in the game of football. In 2012, they were blessed with a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady. She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022. This was after Tom Brady returned to the NFL arena following his retirement earlier that year. The couple announced that their children are their utmost priority, and they will work together as parents to ensure that they receive love and attention. After Brady and BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s divorce, there were speculations about who the NFL legend might be dating next. Rumors aired of Tom Brady being involved with Russian model Irina Shayk. Per Page Six, the pair returned to Brady&#8217;s Los Angeles home after he picked Shayk up at Hotel Bel-Air last year. Similar speculations surrounded the duo from time to time. But nothing was confirmed from either of the parties. Just more than a week back, Us reported how the two have met several times a week and a source revealed that both Brady and Shayk are trying to maintain a relationship out of the public eye. Tom Brady&#8217;s net worth in 2024 The former NFL quarterback has a whopping net worth of $300 million and a salary of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

During his time with the New England Patriots (2000 to 2019), Tom Brady was estimated to have earned $235 million in salary and bonuses, adding up to $350 million earned over his time with the New England Patriots.

This helped them break the previous record of 14 touchdowns held by Tom Brady and former TE Rob Gronkowski. Tom Brady&#8217;s NFL journey &#8211; coaches and teams In his over two-decade-long career, Tom Brady played for only two teams- the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, he ended his career in 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his time with the Patriots, the Quarterback revealed feeling lucky to have played under the &#8220;greatest coach in the NFL.&#8221; He was referring to the most experienced presence in the league and a person who is a constant name besides Brady- Bill Belichick. The coach and QB share a strong bond, which brought their side 17 Divisional titles besides the Super Bowl success. The Head Coach of the New England side played the most crucial role in his career. Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady during a match at NRG Stadium. Image credit: Getty Another coach who was closely connected with Tom Brady was Josh McDaniels. He worked as the Patriots&#8217; Quarterback&#8217;s coach and Offensive Coordinator from 2004-08 and 2012-19. Brady often refers to McDaniels as his &#8220;Brother for life,&#8221; reflecting on the massive role the offense expert played in his journey. At last, it was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Brady&#8217;s era who played a crucial role in his comeback. It was none other than Bruce Arians with whom the QB won his last Super Bowl, adding a star to the coaching legacy of Arians. The time with the New England Patriots saw Tom Brady at his peak. He became the most successful QB in the NFL under this side, also securing most Super Bowl victories for any side under a single Quarterback and Coach duo. How many Super Bowl wins does Tom Brady have? The NFL legend Tom Brady went on to win 6 Super Bowl titles (XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LII) with Bill Belichick as his coach under the Patriots. His time in Buccaneers&#8217; camp, though short, witnessed Tom Brady registering another Super Bowl title (LV) to his name under coach Arians. From his 7 SBs, he won the first Lombardi trophy against the Los Angeles Rams in 2002 with a score of 20-17. In 2004 and 2005, he grabbed back-to-back trophies against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles respectively. His fourth title came after a long gap of ten years in 2015 against the Seattle Seahawks, after which he soon grabbed the fifth title in 2017 against the Atlanta Falcons. The final trophy with the Patriots for Brady came against the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 season. Later, he bid adieu to the NFL world with his last trophy in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady&#8217;s retirement from the NFL and life after retirement The NFL G.O.A.T. retired on February 1, 2023, again. In 2022, he first announced his retirement but only to return 40 days later. However, last year, Tom Brady, through a social media post, announced, &#8220;Good morning, guys. I&#8217;ll get to the point right away. I&#8217;m retiring. For good.&#8221; Elaborating on the same, he thanked his family, friends, and fans and mentioned how he already made a &#8220;super emotional retirement essay.&#8221; Thus, this time, it won&#8217;t be long-winded.

He also got involved in the sports field once more, outside the spectrum of a player this time around. After grabbing partial ownership in the WNBA&#8217;s Aces in March 2023, Brady showed interest in becoming a part of the NFL team LV Raiders as a part owner. Away from this, he also joined the ownership deal of the soccer team Birmingham City FC alongside a team in an electric boat racing league, all set to begin in 2024. His retirement phase sees him continuing as a partner with Hertz, running his Brady Brand apparel company, the TB12 fitness brand, his own production company, and his NFT Company- Autograph. Besides, Sports Illustrated in 2022 also highlighted how Brady signed a 10-year deal with Fox Sports for a whopping $375 million. He would take on the role of an NFL analyst. This will allow him to add $37.5 million to his net worth annually for the next decade starting from Fall 2024.
