Tom Brady Jokes About Cold Winters as He Snorkels in the Sun with His Kids: 'Let Me Have This'

“I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time,” the NFL alum joked alongside pics of the sunny boat outing

Tom Brady is enjoying an unexpected retirement benefit — sun!

The former quarterback’s time with the New England Patriots — and college stint at the University of Michigan — brought him some seriously cold winters. Now, he’s ditching them in favor of some fun in the sun.

On Sunday, Brady, 46, shared some sweet shots from a sunny outing with his kids, poking fun at his past winters in the caption.

“I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time,” he wrote. “Let me have this 😂🦞☀️.”

In the photos, Brady and his two youngest kids, Benjamin Rein, 13, and Vivian Lake, 10, whom he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, hang out on a boat and don snorkeling gear — masks, snorkels and fins — to explore the surrounding water.

The retired NFL star also shared a photo of himself helping Vivian with her snorkel and one of the group face-down, swimming and exploring the sparkling blue water.

Brady did not reveal the location of his sunny boat ride, but he did also share a photo of a cooler full of lobsters on ice.

Since his and Bündchen’s divorce last fall, Brady has been spending lots of time with Benjamin, Vivian and his eldest son John "Jack" Edward Thomas, 16, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Earlier this month, Brady brought Jack to meet San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama, a 19-year-old French rising NBA star.

Brady, Jack and Wembanyama posed for a photo that the NFL alum shared on Instagram. In the pic, the basketball player towered over the quarterback and his son.

"3 on 3 who's got next?!" Brady joked alongside the snap.

Last month, Brady enjoyed a fun — though slightly less sunny — outing with Vivian and Benjamin on Halloween.

The former quarterback shared a glimpse into his spooky holiday with the two kids on his Instagram Story, posting a photo of the pair dressed in all black, save for Benjamin’s red Deadpool mask.

In September, Brady brought all three children along to an extra-special Patriots game, the team’s 2023 season opener, where he was honored with his kids by his side.

He shared several family shots from the event, along with a heartfelt message dedicated to his family and former team.

"I’ve talked a lot about how lucky I feel to have spent my life surrounded by such incredible people. Yesterday was just another reminder of that,” he wrote on Instagram. “Coming back to New England to celebrate what WE accomplished was so special, and it’s a day that I’ll never forget.”

“Being able to spend time with teammates, family, friends, coaches, and most importantly all the fans of Patriot nation is something that I’ll never take for granted,” he continued. “We won a whole lot of games up here… and believe it or not we had a whole lot of fun doing it. I’m so lucky to have been a New England Patriot. Foxboro Forever.”
