Tom Brady’s retirement is really real this time, Michael Blinn of the New York Post reports.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner will not reverse course on his retirement again, a sentiment he emphasized at his unofficial retirement party — sponsored by his NFT brand, Autograph — on Thursday.

“There is nothing I love more than football,” Brady told the crowd, via the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud, “but I have young children and they watched enough of their dad’s games and it’s time for me to watch their games.”

Brady famously retired in February 2021 and then changed his mind 40 days later, opting to return for another go-round with the Buccaneers.

This time, however, the 45-year-old has reiterated that he won’t be going back on his Feb. 1 announcement that he’s finished after 23 NFL seasons.

That hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from churning, including gossip connecting him to the Dolphins, though the three-time NFL MVP has transitioned to social media posts about caring for his 10-year-old daughter Vivian’s new cat.

Brady shares Vivian and son Benjamin, 13, with supermodel Gisele Bündchen, whom he divorced in the midst of the Buccaneers’ 2022 season.

He also co-parents 15-year-old son Jack with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.
