Tom Brady has announced his retirement yet again.

Tom Brady took to social media on Wednesday to announce that he is retiring for good this time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shared in an emotional video that he’ll get right to the point and say that he is retiring for good, and he knows that the process was a pretty big deal the last time, so when he woke up in the morning, he figured that he’d just press record and let everyone know. Tom Brady mentioned that he wouldn’t be long-winded and that people only get one long emotional retirement essay, which he used last year.

Back in 2022, Tom Brady announced that he was retiring before deciding to return to the Buccaneers just 40 days after his announcement, stating that he had some unfinished business. However, injuries weakened Tampa, and Tom Brady did appear to be affected by off-field challenges as his final season ended. Tom Brady made a special mention of Gisele Bündchen in his first retirement post, declaring that she is the most supportive and loving wife who has accomplished it all for their family to make it possible for him to focus on his professional life.

The player said that he is thankful to everyone for allowing him to live his absolute dream and that he wouldn’t change a thing. He captioned the video post by writing that he loves his family, teammates, and friends. Tom also mentioned that he appreciates and loves his coaches, football, and everyone else, and he is extremely grateful. Tom Brady shared a couple of pictures, which included pictures of his family, former teammates, and his opponents.

It was a known fact that Tom Brady's decision to un-retire last year had a significant impact on his personal life, with Gisele Bündchen and him announcing their divorce after 13 years together in October 2022. According to a source at the time, Gisele Bündchen was devastated because the former couple had loved each other, but Gisele knew she needed to prioritize her family and herself over football. 

Gisele has always been the one with the kids, so the pair decided he would step down to focus on the family, but then he abruptly changed his mind, which frustrated Gisele. Gisele also voiced her concerns in an interview with Elle, trying to say that the game is very violent and that she has young kids and would like Tom Brady to be more involved with them. But now, as Tom Brady announced his retirement once again and Gisele Bündchen commented on his post, saying that she wishes him only wonderful things in the new chapter of his life.
