A shirtless Tom Brady took to the waters surrounding his new mansion on Miami’s Indian Creek Island last week, manning everything from a speedboat to a motorized surfboard.
The 46-year-old single father of three is enjoying his first year of retirement after ending his 23-year NFL career – and 13-year marriage to Gisele Bundchen – within the last 12 months.
He remained active in business, promoting his health brand and buying minority stakes in an English soccer team, Birmingham City, and a WNBA team, the defending champion Las Vegas Aces. He also plans to announce for Fox Sports in 2024.
In addition to sunning himself shirtless aboard the boat, Brady donned a protective wetsuit to fly into Biscayne Bay.
Brady, who is said to be dating model Irina Shayk, built a $17 million mansion on Indian Creek Island, where he and Bundchen once planned to live with their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. (Brady’s oldest son, Jack, lives in New York with his own mother, former Brady girlfriend Bridget Moynahan)

The couple even tore down an existing 5,772-square-foot home to make way for their new mansion, but before it could be erected, the two divorced earlier this year and Bundchen moved on to buy her own property across the waterway .
First Bündchen paid $1.3 million for a three-bed waterfront home in Surfside, which she had remodeled, according to building records. Then the 42-year-old splashed out $11.5 million on a five-bed, 6,600-square-foot property a few doors down from the smaller house and across the street from her ex-husband.
DailyMail.com’s aerial photos from June show the structure being renovated.
The total cost of Brady’s new home will be close to $30 million, as they paid $17 million for the land and an additional $10.12 million in construction costs for the custom home.

The 1.8 hectare property comprises three buildings – a main house, a security post and gymnasium.
Brady’s place looks tailor-made for the star, and will include an organic garden, a pickleball court, yoga deck, solar panels, a cabana, main and outdoor kitchens.
Floor plans of the home obtained by the New York Post show five bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, along with an elevator, a movie theater and a guest suite.
Indian Creek Island is dubbed ‘Billionaire’s Bunker’ due to the large number of celebrities and high-rollers in the area, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
Accessible only by a bridge manned by a guard, the island boasts 24-hour security by land, air and sea. The 300-acre island is occupied by just 34 estates with a median value of $20 million.
