Tom Brady is finding out that retirement isn’t so bad after all, as the seven-time Super Bowl winner enjoys the sun at a time of year when he would normally be bracing for a harsh winter.
The NFL icon shared photos of himself on a boat with his three children – sons Ben and Jack and daughter Vivienne – in bright sunshine and crystal clear blue water.
They appeared to go snorkeling together and caught lobsters for their dinner. Brady captioned his photos on X: “Caught dinner! (I caught one. The smallest.)” followed by a crying laughing emoji.
He didn’t say where they were, but on Instagram, Brady seemed all aware of how different life is for him around Thanksgiving.
“I did winters in Michigan and Massachusetts for a long time. Give me this,” he wrote.

Brady, now 46, retired from football in February after returning to play in one final season
Brady retired for good in February, at age 45, this year after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers team was eliminated from the playoffs last season.
His final year in the NFL was beset by off-field troubles when he and his wife of 13 years, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen — the mother of two of his three children — announced their divorce.
It was alleged that Brady’s decision the year before to retire and then return and play another year in football contributed to the decline of their relationship.
Since then, he had a short-lived romance with Irina Shayk, but it ended after a few months.
Brady, as mentioned in his Instagram comment, played at the college level for Michigan before being drafted by the New England Patriots.
Six of his Super Bowl titles came there before he delivered another to the Bucs in his all-conquering career.
Next season, Brady will start a ten-year contract as an analyst with FOX Sports. He takes a year after retirement to decompress.
