Tom Brady visits a huge house in Brentwood, California
Tom Brady was spotted viewing a sprawling home in Brentwood, California, sparking speculation that he would be moving to the West Coast following his retirement from football and divorce from his wife.
Brady, 45, was photographed strolling the grounds of a mansion that was still fenced off and under construction.
The house had two wings on either side of a large central structure and featured an in-ground swimming pool stretching across a backyard still covered in debris from construction.
Brady was in the house with his lifelong friend Kevin Brady – no relation – when they checked the property. The two exchanged a hug before parting ways.
It comes days after Brady’s ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, was spotted on the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City — the first time they’ve appeared at the swanky event not on each other’s arms.

It remains unclear why Brady viewed the house. While he already has a home in Florida, he also has California connections.
He has had his eye on Hollywood since 2020 when he launched his media company 199 Productions which will produce television shows, documentaries and feature films.
His clothing brand TB12 also has a few stores in California and Hollywood.
Brady was also born in San Mateo, California.
The future Hall of Famer reportedly rented a $70,000-a-month apartment in Surfside, California, after his divorce from Bundchen was finalized last fall, according to Page Six.
The pair split after 13 years of marriage as Brady wavered over his decision to leave professional football – initially announcing his retirement, then playing another season, before eventually retiring this year after he and his wife split had gone.
To say it had been an emotional and tumultuous 2022-2023 season for Brady would be an understatement. On the field, Brady suffered the first losing season of his 23-year NFL career as his Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad fell to an 8-9 record.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner has a broadcast job while Fox lines up and waits for him, but he recently revealed he’ll wait to take the stand until Fall 2024. In other words, NFL fans will have a entire season without Brady in 2023 for the first time this millennium.
Fox Sports said Brady’s on-air partner will be longtime announcer Kevin Burkhardt. The five-time Super Bowl MVP will also serve as a “brand ambassador” for Fox, with an emphasis on ‘customer and promotional initiatives.’
The New York Post reported that the deal is for 10 years and will pay Brady a record $375 million – the largest contract in sports broadcasting history.

Gisele and Tom Brady announced in October 2022 that they had “amicably” decided to divorce and that they did so after “much deliberation.”
“We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will remain the center of our world in every way. As parents, we will continue to work together to make sure they always get the love and attention they deserve,” the Super Bowl champion wrote on Instagram.
In her own statement, the runway maven also stressed the well-being of their children and that they have both vowed to “give them the love, care and attention they sorely deserve.”
She also expressed her gratitude for the time she and Tom spent together as a married couple.
“The decision to end a marriage is never an easy one but we have grown apart and while of course it is hard to go through something like this I feel blessed for the time we had together and always wish Tom the best Giselle concluded.
