Tom Brady has embarked on a new chapter in his illustrious career. After all, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, who officially retired from the NFL in 2023, stole the spotlight at the Gucci Cruise 2027 fashion show in New York City on May 16. At 48, Tom charmed the audience as he sashayed down the runway in a sleek black leather jacket, matching pants, and dress shoes. He kept it simple with a silver watch as an accessory. And it seems Tom took a few modeling tips from his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen. After all, the retired athlete dominated the runway like a seasoned pro as he flashed a cool smirk at the camera.
And modeling is just one of many career pivots Tom has added to his impressive resume since stepping off the field in 2023. As a Fox Sports analyst, he has found a comfortable niche in his post-football life. However, he recently revealed that he had considered returning to football – a pitch that the league wasn’t in favor of since he’s a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
“I actually inquired, and they didn’t like that idea very much,” Tom told CNBC in an interview published on March 26. “We explored a lot of different things, and I’m very happily retired. Let me just say that, too.”
Indeed, the NFL currently has a policy prohibiting active players or league employees from taking equity in a team. An NFL spokesperson also emphasized another issue with the situation, telling the outlet, “There would be salary cap issues involving a player/owner.”
But even with his many hats, Tom’s favorite role will always be that of a dad. “I love those little kiddos more than anything,” Tom told E! News in 2024. “I love spending time with them. They’re the best part of every day of mine.”
“They light up our lives in so many ways,” he added. “They teach us a lot. They teach us to be truly present with them.”
