Giselle Bündchen Really Wants Tom Brady to Retire Bündchen has made no secret in the past of her desire to have her husband stop playing football, with Brady himself acknowledging the fact in an interview last year with Sirius XM. If it was up to my wife, she would have me retire today. She told me that last night three times. And I said, ‘Too bad, babe, I’m having too much fun right now.’ Bündchen wants Brady to retire so badly that she has even asked his friends to tell him to hang up the cleats. During a vacation last year with Jay Feely, a family friend and former NFL kicker, Bündchen reportedly spent some time trying to convince Feely to talk to her husband about retiring. According to MMQB's Greg Bishop, Feely didn't listen to her and instead told Brady to "Play as long as you can."
