Buccaneers QB Tom Brady and his supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen both came from humble backgrounds and made it big in their respective careers. While Tom Brady is regarded as the GOAT in the NFL, Bündchen was once the highest-paid supermodel in the world. 

 

Tom Brady shares two kids with Bündchen; son Benjamin, 12, and daughter Vivian, 9. He also has a son John “Jack,” 14, with his ex Bridget Moynahan. The power couple has made a lot of wealth in their career, but Brady thinks that has become the hardest part about parenting.

Brady, on a recent episode of Spotify’s “Drive” podcast, said“We have people that clean for us. We have people that make our food. Now we have people that drive us to the airport if we need that. … We get off a plane and there are people waiting there for us and we get ushered in. That’s my kids’ reality, which is the hard part to say, ‘Guys, this is not the way reality really is. … What can we do about that?’”

 

The 44-year-old NFL star says that he and his wife try their best to make their kids understand the reality of life by creating certain experiences that most kids go through. But on the podcast, he also admitted that his kids have experiences that other kids do not see while growing up.
