Tom Brady says divorce from Gisele Bündchen made final NFL season challenging

"My last season was tough," Brady said during a recent appearance on FOX Sports' "The Herd."

"I was going through - I had a lot of, you know, just a personal, family issue, and it was a challenge. It was very ... it just took a lot out of me in terms of, you know, my ability to continue to play."

Brady added that, during that season, he knew it was time for him to attend his kids' games.

Brady and Bündchen were married for 13 years and had two kids together before getting divorced in 2022.

Bündchen married her jiujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in 2025 after going public with their relationship in 2023. The pair welcomed a baby boy in February 2025.

Brady has yet to go public with a new romance since the divorce.
