Tom Brady, one of the most iconic figures in football history, has been a frequent name in the headlines. Netizens tracked every moment and on-field achievement of the 48-year-old, and similarly, his life beyond the field has sparked equal interest. But despite this, Tom always kept his personal life deliberately out of the conversation. Yet, he made a slight change recently after the NFL legend made a rare emotional confession about the difficult final year of his career. Here’s what he has to say about the same.
Did Tom Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bündchen cost him his final season?
Tom Brady recently appeared on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, where the 7-time Super Bowl champion revealed that his divorce from Gisele Bündchen deeply affected his final season in the league. Additionally, the 48-year-old quarterback admitted that his final season in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022 was more challenging for him than any fan could see. Recalling how the year marked the first losing season of his 23-year career, Tom said:
“My last season was tough. I was going through a lot of personal and family issues, and it was a challenge. It really took a lot out of me in terms of my ability to continue to play.”
