Tom Brady Reflects On 'Emotional Aspects' Of Christmas Without Gisele Bundchen And Kids

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's Christmas celebration will look very different this year following his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

On the Monday episode of the "Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray" podcast, Brady reflected on the upcoming holiday, which he will spend alone.

Brady is scheduled to be in Arizona on Christmas evening to play against the Cardinals.

"It'll be a new experience that I've never had before that I'm gonna learn how to deal with. And I think that's what life's about. So you just asked a question about what have you learned from this football season? I'm gonna learn how to deal with Christmas Eve in a hotel, and I'm gonna have to learn how to deal with Christmas and Christmas night and still go out there and be a professional," Brady told his co-hosts.

"And then look forward to celebrating Christmas with my kids the day after. Which is, you know, just part of what football season has been for a long time. So it's just, again, emotional aspects that allow us to thrive."

Brady's latest comments about his personal life follow Tampa Bay's 34-23 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night after initially having 17 point lead.

Brady told Gray he felt responsible for the loss after turning over the ball four times. "Rough day, and, man, losing sucks," Brady said.

"It's just the reality. There's not a lot of explanation. Unfortunately, I've had to do too much of that this year. So just learning from it and trying to be better."

Brady and Bundchen announced their divorce via Instagram on Oct. 28, sharing similar statements about the amicable split and expressing gratitude for their time together.

The former couple shares two children, a son Benjamin, 13, and a daughter Vivian, 10. The NFL star is also a father to a son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
