Does Tom Brady's latest gesture for son Jack show he's taking Gisele Bundchen's rumored family ultimatum seriously?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady mulled retirement this offseason before ultimately deciding to return for a 23rd NFL campaign. Now, with reports emerging of his wife Gisele Bundchen having had enough of him prioritizing football over family, it seems that TB12 is making an effort to be more of a family man.
According to People.com, the legendary quarterback flew to New York to watch his 15-year-old son's scrimmage after returning from personal leave. He reportedly took his other son Benjamin and daughter Vivian Lake along. Sources said that he was in great spirits, talked to all the parents, and had a good time.
"Tom was in great spirits and chatted to all the parents. He flew all the way in for the scrimmage. He's such a sweet dad and is always there for Jack," the source told People.
Earlier in the year, shortly after the Bucs' conclusion to the 2021-22 season, Brady shocked the world by announcing his retirement.
Forty days later, Brady changed his mind. The star quarterback declared that he was coming back out of retirement and would be returning to the Buccaneers for another shot at the Super Bowl.
Apparently, Gisele had given him an ultimatum over his future plans quite a while ago. According to the OK magazine, what prompted Brady to retire earlier this year was this very ultimatum. A source close to the couple revealed:
"Gisele laid down the terms: It's me or football."
According to Page Six, Brady and Gisele Bundchen had a huge fight recently over his decision to unretire, with the supermodel leaving the family home to fly to Costa Rica.
The quarterback recently took an 11-day absence from Buccaneers training camp because he, in his own words, "had a lot of sh*t going on." Many speculated that he went away to spend more time with his family.

Brady never said whether or not this would be his last season. But with him striking a big deal with FOX, missing training camp, and mulling retirement, one can think that the 2022-23 campaign is likely his last.
