Tom Brady Reveals Surprising Addition to His Notoriously Strict Diet

Tom Brady is expanding his snack time playbook. 

In a recent post, the retired NFL quarterback, known for his stringent diet, offered a peek into his family vacation in Europe with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen and their children, Benjamin (15) and Vivian (12). To everyone’s surprise, he confessed his meal of choice during their trip was a pizza loaded with prosciutto and mozzarella.

“American by birth,” he wrote on the June 3 Instagram Story, per People, “Dutch by appetite.” 

Absolutely, Brady’s decision to eat a Dutch meal deviates significantly from his strict dietary habits as a football player that excluded items such as white sugar, white flour, caffeine, dairy products, vegetables like tomatoes, and others.

Even though the seven-time Super Bowl champion now allows himself to indulge in his food cravings whenever he wishes, there are certain foods he still firmly declines. For instance, strawberries, which he’s quick to clarify is more of a matter of personal taste rather than dislike.

In a 2018 interview with People magazine, Brady, father of Jack (aged 17) with Bridget Moynahan, candidly shared that he simply dislikes certain foods. He explained, “I don’t enjoy the smell, texture, or taste. It’s not about my diet, it’s more a matter of preference, but somehow it became associated with my eating habits.

In between updating followers about his recent culinary and travel escapades, he’s additionally disclosed details of his quality time with his trio of children – ranging from family trips to the father-son excursion at Coachella with Jack in April.

Brady stated at the Fortune Global Forum in November that his children will inevitably encounter their own hurdles, and they must find ways to surmount these difficulties on their own. He emphasized that he will provide support just as his parents did, and he will grow and learn alongside them throughout this process.

Despite having been a father for almost twenty years, the former Super Bowl champion openly admitted to the audience, “I believe being a parent might be the most challenging task we all face.

The entire Brady-Bunch family gathered for a photo at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta prior to Super Bowl LIII, a game that the Patriots eventually emerged victorious from.

In 2018, on Halloween, Tom disguised himself as Pennywise the Dancing Clown and watched over his family from a window while they celebrated.

As the football season was approaching for Tom, he paused to show affection toward his daughter, making it evident that she had his undivided focus at that moment.

Back in July 2018, the Brady family embarked on a holiday journey away from home, with their faces beaming with joy during their horseback riding escapade.

On Father’s Day, Tom marked the occasion by sharing a special family meal and taking plenty of playful pictures with his little boy, Ben.

It’s incredibly heartwarming to witness the all-time greatest quarterback, with seven Super Bowl rings to his name, showered in affection by his three adoring children.

Despite the arrival of spring, Tom wrapped up alongside Ben for an enjoyable outdoor day that also included some light training.

Tom Brady as the Easter bunny? Who would’ve guessed?!

The super sweet family was all smiles during one of Brady’s episodes of Tom vs. Time.

Following another Super Bowl appearance, Tom enjoyed some downtime with his loved ones, which included leisurely barbecues and plenty of photo opportunities.

Despite the Patriots losing the 2018 Super Bowl, Tom had a team of supporters standing by, eager to lift his spirits.

Prior to Super Bowl LII, the New England Patriots’ quarterback was captured in photos with his entire family – this included his wife Gisele, eldest son Jack, their second child Ben, and daughter Vivian.

In December of 2017, the New England Patriots quarterback expressed affection to his second-oldest son on his birthday by posting a heartfelt message: “Happy Birthday to the sweetest 8-year-old boy any parents could dream of! You’re overflowing with love and joy. We are incredibly proud of you, Benny! Your light illuminates our lives each day. We adore you!

On the eve of Thanksgiving, Vivian proved herself an exceptional assistant chef, with her father entrusting her the task of baking the family’s biscuits. To be frank, there seems to be little that young Brady cannot accomplish.

On a November day, the pair comprising Tom and Ben enjoyed a leisurely time in a hammock, and it’s only too tempting to imagine ourselves enjoying such a relaxing break soon.

Leave it to Tom to teach his son more than just football. 

In June 2017, the Brady family frolicked on the lawn and clearly relished their shared moments. It seems they were truly enjoying themselves.

Who says you’re too old to make funny faces?

After winning the Super Bowl in 2017, the Patriots returned to Boston for a victory parade, and Tom had his son, Ben, accompany him. This made Tom quite the popular father.

2017’s Super Bowl victory was fantastic, but nothing compares to the joy of sharing that moment on the field with my daughter – a truly priceless experience.

2017 found me watching with bated breath as my beloved duo exchanged a heartwarming good-luck peck before setting off for a match. I must say, their sweet bond is utterly adorable!

Across great distances, Tom has numerous admirers, yet none compare to the affection he receives from his trio of children. The sight of their “Brady” jerseys consistently strengthens our admiration for this family as a whole.

It’s doubly delightful to adorn the Christmas tree when your cherished daughter assists, and it’s even more enjoyable when she’s playing the part of a fairy!

In his free time, the soccer player enjoys hanging out with his cute kids at the beach, and we wholeheartedly support this activity.
