Tom Brady admitted 2024 wasn’t “the way he wanted” in a candid Instagram post while celebrating the New Year with his three children.
The former NFL star, 47, who recently showed off his ripped physique while playing golf with his son Jack, also expressed his gratitude for the “blessings” and loved ones in his life in a lengthy message written Wednesday.
He uploaded a variety of snaps while posing with his son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12, who he shares with ex Gisele Bundchen. Tom is also father to 17-year-old Jack, whom he welcomed with his ex Bridget Moynahan.
Brady’s latest post comes nearly three months after Bundchen revealed her pregnancy with boyfriend Joaquim Valente in October 2024, leaving him “stunned” by the revelation.
She wrote to her 15.1 million followers: “I couldn’t have imagined a better way to ring in the new year than with the loves of my life.”
“As we reflect on the past year and think about the year ahead, there is no better perspective than to look at these three and always try to be better for them every day and help guide them in any way possible.”

On New Year’s Eve, Tom was seen showing off his muscular physique in an Instagram photo while playing golf with his eldest son, Jack.
Brady wore a pair of black shorts and white sneakers while placing a backwards cap on top of his head.
As the pair enjoyed a game on the field to close out 2024, the star wrote: “Perfect way to end the year.”
Tom and his ex, Gisele Bundchen, were previously married from 2009 until their divorce in 2022.
Late last year, in November 2024, Tom notably shared a cryptic quote about “failing” and “coming up short” in the wake of Gisele’s pregnancy bombshell.
The quote was from former President Theodore Roosevelt and was seen on a card the NFL star showed off in a social media photo.

And during the Fortune 2024 Global Forum in New York City, he also admitted that he “screwed up a lot as a parent.”
A source recently told DailyMail.com last month in December that Brady has been struggling to date as he gets over the “pain” of Bundchen’s new romance.
‘Tom would love to date more, but he’s busy and very focused on his first year as a commentator. It’s easier to be single now.
The former NFL star signed a ten-year deal with Fox, worth $375 million, in September.
“At first everything hurts. That she would get pregnant, that she would go out with Joaquim, that she would move on. But then you recover and stay busy, you know your life is pretty good and worrying about things you can’t control is a waste of time.’
The source added: “You could complain, but what’s the point?” He made the best of the relationship with Gisele until it fell apart, now it’s not his problem anymore. It’ll be fine.’
Gisele and Valente started dating last year in June, but Tom Brady ‘never imagined’ the model would have a child with Joaquim, according to Page six.
Her pregnancy was not on his “radar” and the news had left him “stunned, to say the least.”

Before ringing in the New Year, Bundchen was spotted showing off her growing baby bump during a relaxing getaway to Costa Rica in late December last month.
She waded into the ocean water at the beach while wearing a black bikini and matching panties.
And last Sunday, the Brazilian-born supermodel was spotted strolling along the shore with Valente.
At one point, she stopped to take a photo while cradling her growing stomach while a colleague took her photo.
For the spontaneous photo shoot, she wore a white tank top and a cream-colored wrap skirt.
After news of the pregnancy came to light, a source said People that Gisele is “excited to openly embrace this new chapter.”

Before ringing in the New Year, Bundchen was spotted showing off her growing baby bump during a relaxing getaway to Costa Rica late last month in December.
Since then, the beauty has “received many positive messages and congratulations” and initially wanted to keep her pregnancy “private for as long as possible, but doing so was starting to be a challenge.”
Bundchen “feels good” and is doing “Pilates and other exercises that will also help her during childbirth.”
The source further told the outlet that Gisele “has always taken incredible care of herself” and “eats healthy and also meditates.”
Bundchen is also taking “a step back from work to focus on her pregnancy.”
