Tom Brady will focus on work this Thanksgiving, and his children will spend the holiday with his pregnant ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and her partner Joaquim Valente.
Brady, 47, went viral over the weekend for his fake shocked reaction to having to work this Thanksgiving in his role as an analyst for Fox.
He is in the first year of a 10-year contract with Fox worth $375 million and will be in Dallas to call the Cowboys’ game against the New York Giants.
He has two children, Benjamin and Vivian, with his ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Bundchen, and they will be with their mother in Costa Rica during the holidays, according to Page Six.
“Gisele took the kids and headed to Costa Rica with Joaquim (Valente) to spend the holidays together,” the publication said, citing a source.
‘Tom supports us and that is the deal he and Gisele have agreed to. That day he will call the game for Fox and will be busy with work.

Brady has a daughter, Vivian, and a son, Ben, with his ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Bundchen, 44.
“You will still have plenty of time to spend with your children during the holiday season.”
In late October, it emerged that Bundchen, 44, was expecting a baby with Valente, 37.
Brady was said to be stunned by the news and, although he has not commented publicly on the matter, he posted a cryptic message on Instagram at the time the news broke.
‘Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?’ Brady wrote alongside a photo of the setting sun. The lyrics are lyrics from the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Landslide’. The 1975 hit was later covered by The Chicks.
Brady added audio about the story and users heard: ‘Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?’ Can the child inside my heart rise? Can I navigate through the changing tides of the ocean?
Professionally, Brady hasn’t had the easiest time with Fox this season since making his long-awaited debut in the broadcast booth.
Fans criticized him in the first week for his tone and style before shockingly saying that Josh Allen had “played like a fool” in the early days of his career.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner also appeared to violate rules that exist solely for him to toe the line between his broadcasting responsibilities and his minority ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Brady posted a cryptic message on social media after learning Bundchen is pregnant again.
Brady has had a rocky start to his 10-year contract to call games with Fox.
When he was finally approved to play for the Raiders this year, Brady was told he couldn’t criticize referees’ decisions amid an avalanche of other rules and stipulations.
But the following weekend, Brady said live on Fox that he disagreed with the decision to eject Brian Branch from the Nov. 3 game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers.
“I don’t love that call at all,” Brady said. “Obviously it’s a penalty, but for me it has to be a serious intention in a game like this.”
In the end, the NFL decided not to punish Brady for the comments.
