Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen‘s relationship worsened after his newsletter, which is about parenting their kids, seemingly took a swipe at her. Earlier this week, the NFL legend made candid confessions about “being a great father” by choosing to play football and prioritizing his profession in his 199 newsletter.

Tom Brady’s latest newsletter on parenting comes with a side of shade aimed at his ex, Gisele Bündchen. In his Tuesday post on his 199 platform, the retired quarterback reflected on fatherhood with a not-so-subtle nod to his choices: “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family.

That message isn’t all that surprising, unless you’ve followed his very public divorce. Brady and Bündchen split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, and a big part of the tension reportedly came from his decision to un-retire and return to the NFL for one more season.
