Tom Brady shows how much he loves retirement in epic Instagram party video featuring beach football, golf and jet skiing with NFL friends and family: ‘Grateful to celebrate such an amazing life on and off the field’
Tom Brady absolutely loves the retired life, according to his latest Instagram post.
The 45-year-old shared a video of himself having the time of his life at the beach with friends and family, where he can be seen playing football, golf and jet skiing along the sea.
“I’m grateful to have the chance to celebrate such an amazing life on and off the field with friends and family.”
He added, “Even more thankful to get through 30 minutes of beach soccer without serious injuries,” alongside three crying and laughing emojis.
Brady posted a video of his vacation at the beach with his son Jack and former teammate Julian Edelman in late March. The video posted on Wednesday appears to be from the same occasion.

The video shows Brady cutting a cake bearing the number 12 – the number that represents his career – while friends and family cheer and congratulate him on his time in football.
Brady has been known to follow a notoriously strict diet, but he may now have retired from the game and be able to indulge in the occasional slice of cake.
Brady retired for the second time in February after 23 seasons and a legendary career that included winning the Super Bowl a whopping seven times.
His final season in the NFL was somewhat overshadowed by his divorce from his 13-year-old wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen. There were constant hints that she was unhappy that he “didn’t retire” last year.
In his statement last October, Brady said it was a “difficult” and “painful” decision the couple made after “a lot of thought,” while Gisele, 42, said, “Ending a marriage is never easy…we.” have grown apart.’
But now he seems to be living his best life with his friends and family gathered around him in the sunshine.
While Brady insisted he was finally retiring from the game in his retirement video this year, there were still rumors he could make an unlikely return.
But in early March, he ended the conversation with an amusing reply on Twitter: “Anyone who thinks I have time to return to the NFL has never adopted a 2-month-old kitten for their daughter.”

Brady had two cuffed children – a son, Benjamin, and a daughter, Vivian. His eldest son, Jack, was from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Brady’s last game came in January when his team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.
That game was played on January 16, but it wasn’t until February 1 that Brady announced on Instagram that he was quitting.
”Good morning people. I’ll get straight to the point. I’m retiring for good,” Brady said in his emotional statement. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I thought I’d just hit record and let you guys know first.
“It’s not going to be long-winded. All you get is a super emotional farewell essay and I’ve used up mine last year, so…really, thank you to each and every one of you who support me.
“My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever, there are too many. Thanks guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change anything. Love you all.’
