In an interview with CNBC, Brady noted that many had misperceived his lifestyle while he was an active athlete. "I think moderation is important in everything, and I think people exaggerated a bit the rigor of my lifestyle or diet. I have kids, and we have Halloween and birthday parties, and we’re like a normal family, so I try to make really healthy decisions as often as possible," said the 48-year-old Brady. In the conversation, Brady also spoke about his collaboration with Ferrero, highlighting that he enjoys their chocolate products. In an advertisement for the FIFA World Cup 2026, he appears consuming sweets like Nestle Crunch bars and Butterfingers. Additionally, the former New England Patriots player emphasizes that he shares sweets with his children: 18-year-old Jack, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin Rein (16) and Vivian Lake (13), whom he shares with Gisele Bundchen. "I make pancakes with Nutella for my kids. When we were in Milan for the Olympic Games, we ate pizzas with Nutella," he revealed. However, he stresses that he still takes care of his health through physical activity and hydration. Recall that after retiring from the NFL in 2023, Brady told People that he plans to continue with a disciplined diet, which during his career meant avoiding white sugar, dairy products, white flour, iodized salt, caffeine, as well as certain foods like strawberries. "I don’t think it’s a strict regimen. I think it’s just an attempt to make healthy decisions that allow me to live the life I want," he added. Today, through collaborations with brands like Pizza Hut and Dunkin', Brady aims to stay connected with the public, even if it involves occasionally indulging in sweets. "Moderation in everything, we only have one life to live, and we should enjoy it," he concluded.
