“Not just on the football field but off,” he added. “He’s obviously one of my best friends.”
While Brady has previously said that he hopes to play until he is 45, he says he doesn’t think he will keep it up much longer after that.

“50s too long,” he quipped. “I think 45s the goal.”
His wife is his 'rock,' and 'Family is so important to me'
Shortly after Brady’s big victory on the field Sunday night, the father of three welcomed his daughter, Vivian, into the celebrations and carried her while she carried the trophy.
If there is one thing he said he hopes his children will learn from watching him it would be to \"follow their dreams.”
“To be an older player, you know, I love bringing my kids to training camp,” he said. “I love bringing them in the locker room after the game.”
“Football success is one thing, you know? Being a good dad, being a good husband, being a good friend, that's really important to me, too,” Brady said.
The legendary quarterback said he would describe himself as \"an introvert.”
He adds that he can run “on the field in front of 70,000 people” but “to walk into the mall, it would just freak me out.”
Brady said that his wife, Gisele Bundchen, is his “rock.”
“I married someone that ... I know is my life partner,” he said. “She's just one of the most caring, nurturing people in the world.”
“The way she takes care of our family when I'm working, sacrificing a lot of her dreams,” he added. “I can only tell her I love her so much.”
“Family is so important to me,” Brady said. “My parents were there last night. My sisters were there.”
“It brings you so much joy when everyone's there to celebrate with you,” he added.
As for his wife, “She's got my back,” he said. “I have no doubt about that. And she knows I have hers.”
One thing Brady admits he could do a “better job of” for his wife, however, is taking out the trash more, saying he will improve on that “cause she deserves it, too.”
Also present during the big game was Brady’s mother, who just recently celebrated being two years cancer-free.
“We had dinner all on Friday night before the game,” Brady said of his whole family. “You know, it's just that's what life's about ... Having these incredible memories with the people you love the most.”
