Tom Brady’s latest edition of his newsletter featured a confession about how the pressure of being a working father recently “caught up” to him.

Brady began his note by detailing the whirlwind of activities that filled his month, seemingly to show fans just how packed his days have been.

“We’re more than a third of the way through the NFL season now. School is in full swing for the kids,” said the former NFL star, who has three kids with two different women.

“Personally, I’ve had another amazing CardVault store grand opening, a couple great collabs with Speed, another with Oz the Mentalist, and then there were the regular media hits as part of my role on FOX and the regular duties I have as a dad, a son, a business partner, an investor, and an owner."

Months ago, Brady subtly directed a shade at his ex, Gisele Bündchen, with whom he shares two kids, Benjamin and Vivian.

He wrote in his July newsletter that his decision to play football is key to being a great father, a notion that seemed to take a swipe at Budchen’s past remarks about how his dedication to the sport prevented him from being fully present in his children’s lives.

"I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family," Brady said, per the Daily Mail.  "I chose to do it by playing football."

According to Brady, those times when he was “laser focused” on his career  were to create teachable moments for his kids about excellence, commitment, teamwork, and how “work is a big part of our lives.”

While Bündchen has since moved on with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, following her split from Brady, the former football star has remained single.

He has been linked to several high-profile women since the divorce, including Sofia Vergara and Kim Kardashian.

However, none of those link-ups appear to have taken off, which sources have claimed is tied to Brady not being interested in commitment.

“Tom loves being single, and he is not looking for a relationship,” a source told the Daily Mail about the father of three.

They added, “He's not looking to be settled down right now. He wants to just have fun. Flings and hookups are cool, but if anyone thinks they can have more with him right now, good luck!,” the insider added about the former NFL star.

Kardashian recently appeared on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, during which she refused to clear the air on rumors of an alleged romance with Brady.

Shedding some light on the situation, an insider noted that Brady and Kardashian were "never a thing" and that the SKIMS founder intentionally avoided answering the question to keep the mystery around the true nature of her relationship with the former football star.

"Kim wants everyone to believe that there was something there, and by playing coy, she got the reaction she wanted - for everyone to talk about it," the source claimed, per the Daily Mail.

The insider further hinted at why the pair never became an item: "She shot her shot and they had a flirty vibe with each other, but he wasn't interested in making it into a relationship," the insider added about the A-listers.
