Tom Brady has accomplished it all in the NFL. He's a five-time Super Bowl champion and a three-time league MVP. He just completed his age-40 season and doesn't appear ready to hang up his cleats.
And his wife, Gisele Bundchen, won't force him to.
Bundchen shared with Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal that she will not push her husband to retire.
"It's not my decision to make," Bundchen said in an interview conducted before Super Bowl LII in February, according to Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston. "It's his decision, and he knows it. It wouldn't be fair any other way."
Brady has said previously that his wife "would have me retire today" if it were up to her.
"I would never in my life ever (attempt to convince him to retire)," Bundchen said. "I want him to be happy. Believe me, I've been with him when he's losing. Try to be with him after you have lost (Super Bowls). I mean, I had my fair share, OK? As long as he's happy, he's going to be a better father, he's going to be a better husband, and I just want him to be happy. I do have my concerns, like anyone would."
Brady will enter the 2018 season as the defending league MVP with revenge on his mind after losing the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles.
