At a time of year when he would normally be preparing for a hard winter, seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady is discovering that retirement isn’t all that horrible.

The legendary player from the NFL posted images of himself on a boat in bright sunshine and glistening blue water with his three kids, boys Ben and Jack and daughter Vivienne.

They appeared to go snorkeling together and caught lobsters for their dinner. Brady captioned his pictures on X: ‘Caught dinner! (I caught one. The smallest one.)’ followed by a crying with laughter emoji.

He didn’t say where they were but on Instagram, Brady seemed all to aware of how different life usually is for him around Thanksgiving.

‘I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time. Let me have this,’ he wrote.

Brady, now 46, retired from football in February after returning to play in one final season

After his Tampa Bay Buccaneers club was eliminated from the playoffs the previous season, Brady announced his permanent retirement in February of this year, at the age of 45.

Off-field problems marred his final season in the NFL, as he and his 13-year marriage to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen—the mother of two of his three children—announced their divorce.

Their relationship was said to have declined as a result of Brady’s decision the previous year to retire and then change his mind and play one more football season.

Since then, he and Irina Shayk had a brief romantic relationship that dissolved after a few months.

Brady played collegiate football for Michigan before the New England Patriots selected him in the draft, as he said in his Instagram comment.

Before winning one more Super Bowl with the Bucs in his illustrious career, he had won six of them there.

Brady will start a ten-year contract as a commentator for FOX Sports next season. After retiring, he’s taking a year off to relax.
