In our good year 2025, the last thing we expected to find was a personal blog written by none other than pro athlete, Tom Brady. The seven-time Super Bowl champion penned a candid piece about parenting for his 199 newsletter—and seemingly threw shade at his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, in the process. In his installment published on Tuesday, July 29, Tom reflected on the highs and lows of professional football and how the sport made him a “great parent” to his three children. He shares Benjamin and Vivian with Gisele, while his oldest son, Jack, is shared with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,” he wrote, in part. “I chose to do it by playing football.”

He added, “My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused—those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and... The former New England Patriots quarterback then seemingly made a dig at Gisele, explaining that “reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent. And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs.” Tom Brady took an apparent swipe at his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, in a candid newsletter about parenting his children. “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family,” the former NFL star wrote in his 199 newsletter released... “I chose to do it by playing football.”

By JACK BEZANTS, US DEPUTY SPORTS EDITOR Published: 14:04 EST, 29 July 2025 | Updated: 10:46 EST, 20 August 2025 Tom Brady has seemingly taken a swipe at his supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bundchen in his latest newsletter about providing for his family.

The NFL great, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, split from his wife of 13 years in October 2022, months after dramatically reversing his decision to retire from football. After their split was announced, Bundchen repeatedly alluded to her unhappiness at how much Brady focused on his sporting career at the cost of his family, with his unretirement said to be the tipping... Did Tom Brady call out his ex-wife in his latest newsletter? When it comes to celebrity breakups, the 7-time Super Bowl had quite the public split from his supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bundchen back in 2022. That’s to be expected, since they were two high-profile individuals, and the media machine is always needing stories to churn out. And I’d be remiss if I also didn’t mention the other story that revealed itself around the divorce… the relationship that Gisele had with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

She now has a baby with that very jiu-jitsu instructor. All reports say that despite that ugly end, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were doing their best to stay cordial for the sake of their children. The former celebrity couple have two kids – Benjamin and Vivian – and Brady has another son named Jack (from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan). Brady talked a lot about his kids, and being a father, in his latest “199 Newsletter.” If you haven’t subscribed to it, or heard of it, that’s okay. Basically, Tom sits down about every week and shares his thoughts and insight on various topics. This past week, he took inspiration from a Scottie Scheffler interview where the pro golfer talked about being a father over a professional golfer.

While Gisele was a picture-perfect wife and mother throughout his career, she was more than ready for him to make his family his top priority over football. Which explains why things fell apart shortly after Brady made his comeback.

Now, the pair’s only relationship is co-parenting, and it seems the football star has some pent up feelings about parenting that he’s ready to let out. In his recent newsletter, Brady wrote a lot about parenting, and a lot of it felt like a petty jab at his ex-wife. Keep reading for more information. In a recent newsletter to fans, Tom Brady appeared to subtly address his highly publicized split from Gisele Bündchen, suggesting that his dedication to football was part of being a committed parent, not a... Brady wrote, “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.”

The statement sparked speculation that he may have been addressing past criticisms from Bündchen, who had urged the former NFL star to retire out of concern for his health and to spend more time... Brady and Bündchen divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. At the time, reports suggested that Brady’s decision to return to the NFL after a short retirement contributed to tensions at home. Bündchen publicly expressed concern about his safety and the lack of family time. Now, Brady seems to be offering his perspective: Tom Brady had a lot to say about what it takes to be a great father and a great athlete in the Tuesday, July 29 edition of his newsletter, 199—and some fans think he...

The 47-year-old football icon appeared to be responding to a quote from 2024 British Open champion Scottie Scheffler, who said he’d rather be a better father and husband than a good golfer. Brady replied: “Why are those mutually exclusive? Sure, they’re different blocks on the pyramid, but they’re part of the same pyramid. They’re connected!" The ex-New England Patriots player added, “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.

My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused—those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids.” But it was one section in particular that drew attention: “Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it. Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent.” Tom Brady has taken a subtle dig at his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, as he reflects on their family dynamics and how his "dedication" to football showed his commitment to providing for their kids.

The NFL legend tied the knot with the Brazilian-born beauty in 2009 but split in 2022 amid what seemed to be disagreement over Brady's retirement from football.
