Tom Brady will be having a different Christmas experience following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. The athlete will be celebrating the holidays on the football field, as his ex-wife and kids are currently in the model’s home country of Brazil.
“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,” he revealed during a recent conversation on his SiriusXM podcast. This is the first Christmas since the former couple finalized their divorce.

He continued, “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.”

Gisele recently confessed that she is “recharging” with her kids and closest family members in Brazil. The model posted a series of photos in which she can be seen meditating, enjoying the sunset, having some traditional Brazilian food, and spending time with her 13-year-old son Benjamin, and her 10-year-old daughter Vivian.
