As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and 40-year-old Brazilian model celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary in February, Brady gave the secret to their relationship as he said:  ‘I give her a lot of credit for that.

‘She’s the one that, you know, supports the family and, at the end of the day, makes a lot of sacrifices.  She brings out the best version of me.’

They made the big move as last year the NFL quarterback switched teams from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

During the interview Tom also talked about keeping his kids ‘grounded’ as they grow up as he and Gisele try to make sure they know they will have to ‘work hard’ in life.

Brady said: ‘Mom and Dad’s life is very unique in this world. I don’t want them to take those things for granted. 

I want them to make the impact in the world that they’re gonna make. But they’re gonna make it in their way, too.’

Tom is also the father to son, John Edward Thomas, 13, who he amicably co-parents with ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan. 

Brady and 49-year-old Strahan do have history on the football field as Michael’s underdog New York Giants defeated Tom’s Patriots at Super Bowl XLII at Super Bowl XLII in February 2008. Strahan retired from the NFL after the big win.

Last year Tom faced a lot of criticism as he moved on from the New England Patriots after winning six Super Bowls with the team but he ultimately used the negativity to fuel him to yet another championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.

He said: ‘I was always kind of motivated by people that say ‘you can’t do it.’ You know, ‘you’re not good enough, you’re not fast enough, not big enough, you’re not good enough arm.

‘I’ve had a body of work over a period of time, so you know, you just say, hey [and] quickly you forget.

‘I think that’s a great part about football. It’s not really about what you did last year, it’s kind of what you’re going to do this year, so for me, it was what I was going to do for the Bucs last year. I still feel that way.’ 

Brady will suit up for his 22nd season with the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in September.
