The NFL legend humorously addresses rumors of a return to football on his podcast.

In a light-hearted exchange on his “Let’s Go!” podcast, legendary quarterback Tom Brady jokingly quashed any rumors of an NFL comeback, stating, “I am not coming out of retirement.”

During the Monday episode, guest Mr. Beast playfully suggested that the podcast’s ratings would “take off” if Brady were to announce a return to professional football. In response, the Super Bowl champion humorously dismissed the idea, citing the imminent wrath of his family.

“My parents would call, my kids would call. They’d kill me. I wouldn’t be around by tonight,” Brady added, highlighting the humorous tone of the discussion.

While Brady’s retirement has become a subject of light-hearted banter, it’s worth noting that the star quarterback, aged 46, officially stepped away from professional football in February, a year after his highly publicized return to the field. He had come out of retirement to play another season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, following his initial retirement in February 2022.

At the time of his retirement in 2022, reports circulated that the decision had caused tension in his marriage with Gisele Bündchen. An insider revealed, “There’s been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.”

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, who share two children, finalized their divorce in October 2022, after 13 years of marriage. Bündchen had previously shared her desire for Brady to be more present with their family, highlighting the challenges they faced in balancing a high-profile football career with family life.

Since their divorce, the former couple has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship while dividing time with their children. Brady also shares a 16-year-old son, Jack, with his ex-partner, Bridget Moynahan.

The podcast exchange serves as a reminder that Brady, despite his legendary football career, is enjoying his retirement and focusing on other pursuits and endeavors.
