Tom Brady, the celebrated FOX Sunday NFL commentator, recently took to social media to pay tribute to his parents on their 56th wedding anniversary.
His heartfelt post comes in the wake of his split from ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, who has since had a child with her new partner, Joaquim Valente. “56 years ago in Browerville, MN… Happy Anniversary to the most incredible parents anyone could ask for,” Brady captioned a series of throwback wedding photos of his parents, Galynn and Tom Brady Sr.
Fellow commentator Joe Buck, meanwhile, has confirmed whether he wants to continue working for ESPN. And in tennis, Aryna Sabalenka addressed on her streak of bad luck at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, having lost another final in the event on Sunday.
“Over the years, you’ve shown our whole family what it truly means to build a life of love, laughter and faith. You’ve taught us how to support one another, how to grow together, and how to face life’s challenges.
“We’re endlessly grateful for everything you’ve done and continue to do for us. Thank you for being the heart of our family. Here’s to 56 amazing years – and many more to come!”
The touching post quickly racked up over 225,000 likes and comments from friends and celebrities alike, including Lindsey Vonn, Mark Wahlberg, and Alex Rodriguez. Since his divorce from Bundchen, with whom he shares two children, Brady has not remarried.
Bundchen welcomed her third child, a baby boy named River, earlier this year. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life, and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told People magazine of her new situation.
On the flip side, Brady wrapped up a commendable debut season as FOX’s leading NFL color commentator next to play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. Despite some early hesitations and off-topic detours, Brady honed his commentary skills throughout the season.
His efforts culminated in a triumphant close to the first year of his enormous 10-year, $375 million agreement. The Super Bowl LIX coverage with Brady providing analysis drew a whopping 127.7 million viewers, watching the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-24 in early February.
