Tom Brady is finding retirement isn’t so bad after all, as the seven-time Super Bowl champion soaks up the sunshine at a time of year when he would normally be bracing for a harsh winter.

The NFL icon shared a photo of himself on a boat with his three children, sons Ben and Jack and daughter Vivian, amid bright sunshine and clear blue waters.

They appeared to go snorkeling together and catch lobster for dinner. Brady captioned his photo on X: “Time for dinner! (I caught one. The smallest.)” followed by a dumbfounding emoji.

He didn’t reveal where they were, but on Instagram, Brady seemed to realize just how different his life is around Thanksgiving.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in Michigan and Massachusetts in the winter. Let me do it,” he wrote.

Brady permanently retired in February at age 45 after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from last season’s playoffs.

His final year in the NFL was marred by off-field issues, he and his wife of 13 years, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen (mother of two of his three children), announced divorce.

Their relationship allegedly soured after Brady decided to retire the year before, then changed his mind and stayed on the football field for another year.

Since then, he had a brief romance with Irina Shayk, which ended after a few months.

Brady mentioned in an Instagram comment that he played at the University of Michigan before being drafted by the New England Patriots.

He was a six-time Super Bowl champion before winning another Super Bowl with the Buccaneers during his all-conquering career.

Next season, Brady will begin a 10-year stint as an analyst on Fox Sports. He needed a year to decompress after leaving.
