LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have shown that they have got co-parenting down to a science. The former NFL quarterback recently opened up about their parenting dynamic since their divorce in October, emphasizing the importance of providing their children with solid values and a strong foundation.

Brady shared how he and his ex-wife have approached co-parenting their children, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10. "When you decide to have children, that's a big undertaking, and I don't think you take it lightly," Brady told Kevin Frazier via Zoom. "I think myself and their mom have done an amazing job of providing that, and I think that we're just gonna keep doing it."

Tom Brady's parenting philosophy

Brady, who also shares son Jack, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan, said, "We're never a finished product. The kids aren't finished products. At the end of the day, we're learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with," reported ET.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP continued, "There's no guidebook to life. A lot of the things that happen in your life are the first time. You don't know how to say always the appropriate thing or the right thing, but the only thing you can do for your kids is to try and say, 'All right, guys, this is kinda the way that it's worked for me, and the things that I've learned from, and now it's up to you, you gotta take it.' Now, you've got choices outside of the house ... go out there and do well in the community, respect everyone, respect others. Go out there and make a contribution and find something you love to do. Bring a positive attitude.'"

Tom Brady welcomes new additions to family

The father of three added, "We're all gonna fail. We're all gonna have adversities in life, and I think you're defined a lot by your adversities because those are the things in the end that challenge you to grow the most," he added of the wisdom he hopes to impart to his children. "I mean, life has its ups and downs, professionally, and there's different things that happen in your life personally, and you just gotta continue to understand them emotionally, intellectually, and then as you move forward, try not to make the same mistakes. And just try to keep growing and become a better person by all your different actions."

Since retiring from the NFL in February, Brady has had more quality time to spend with his children. It has also allowed him to welcome new additions to their family — a pair of kittens that his daughter Vivian had been longing for. Brady gushed, "Well, I think it's actually very cute, I never imagined myself having cats, but then I had a little daughter who fell in love with these baby kittens when we were in Tampa last year. We had an amazing bonding experience volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa, and every week we would go and see the animals, and she fell in love with the little kittens, and by the end of the year, every time we'd leave, she'd say, 'Daddy, Daddy,' and I said, 'When I'm done playing, OK?' And since then, we've had these amazing little creatures come into our life."

Brady's Let's Go! campaign

In addition to enjoying more family time, Brady has been venturing into new business opportunities. He has a broadcast gig in the works and has been involved in the Let's Go! campaign with Hertz, a brand he has partnered with for two years. "I think for me, that's one of the great things that I've really enjoyed working with Hertz. We've worked together for two years now. I think our Let's Go! campaign's been really fun."

Brady claimed. "We've done some really great content. I think, obviously, me engaging with that brand and finding a lot of similar values, and when they told me, 'Hey, this is what we're doing. We have an iconic American brand, we're transitioning our fleet to the largest fleet of EVs in the world. We're making this rental opportunity seamless for our consumers, and we want to provide them with great options all around the world.'"

"Along with their leadership team and the innovation, it's a great fit for me. I love what we've done, I think we're gonna do great things in the future. I loved our last campaign," he added, referencing the talk-show style commercial that sees Brady alongside 'Insecure' star Yvonne Orji. "There's a lot of fun [...] but there's some other really funny things that you might not expect going forward too," he concluded.
