- READ MORE: Tom posts cryptic breakup song in thirst trap amid Gisele pregnancy
Tom Brady is fully open to moving on like his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, but he is too 'busy' in his new role as an NFL analyst – and fears his resistance to having more children could make it ‘difficult’ to find a girlfriend.
The retired football champion, 46, and supermodel Bundchen, 44, who are parents to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, finalized their eye watering $733million divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
The sports icon was ‘stung’ earlier this year when it was revealed Bundchen is expecting her first child with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente who she has been dating since June 2023.
Brady has reportedly used his post-football career opportunities to distract from the split, but it has left little time for him to focus on his own love life.
'Tom would love to date more but he is busy and very focused on his first year of being a commentator,' an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. 'It is easier to be single right now.'
The former New England Patriots player is trying to solidify his budding broadcasting career after kicking off the first season of his ten-year Fox deal, worth $375 million, in September.

Brady has been throwing himself into the role as a way to keep his mind off the feelings he is still working through following the end of his marriage.
'At first, everything stings,' the source said. 'Her getting pregnant, her hanging out with Joaquim, her moving on. 'But then he snaps out of it and remains busy, knows that his life is pretty good and to worry about things he can't control is a waste of time.'
They continued: 'He could complain but what's the point. He got the best out of the relationship with Gisele until it fell apart, now it's not his problem anymore. He will be fine.'
Since his return to bachelorhood, Brady has found himself linked to a handful of names, including Bradley Cooper’s ex Irina Shayk, 38. The pair were spotted getting cozy in July 2023 when they appeared to spend the night at his Los Angeles home.
But three months later, their brief romance had reportedly ‘fizzled,’ with sources telling DailyMail.com at the time that Brady 'wasn't able to give his full attention.'
He was later linked to Brazilian influencer Isabella Settanni, 32, something that was later shut down, as well as Dancing with the Stars contestant Brooks Nader.
Brady was spotted mingling with the Sports Illustrated model, 27, at Michael Rubin's annual star-studded Fourth Of July party.
They were alleged to have seen each other multiple times, according to the popular entertainment news podcast Deux U.

But, according to Us Weekly, the pair never dated, were never intimate with each other and never even exchanged phone numbers.
When it comes to dating, Brady, who also has son Jack, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan, he has no plans to become a father for a fourth time – something he fears could impact his chances of finding love again.
'He doesn't anticipate having more kids, and that makes it a little more difficult to find the right person,’ the insider said.
'But when he's got the time to dive into dating again, he's Tom Brady, so how difficult will it be to find someone?'
Unlike Brady, Bundchen is gearing up for the birth of her first child with Valente.
The Vogue cover star showcased her growing bump last week as the previously super private pair vacationed in Costa Rica where she once shared a beachside estate with Brady and held a second wedding ceremony.
A separate source previously told DailyMail.com that 'finding out Gisele was pregnant stung.'
'Tom had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time,' they added.

Fans have been desperate to gain further insight into Brady’s take on his ex-wife’s new relationship by looking into the cryptic clues shared in his Instagram 'thirst trap' photos.
The sportsman posted a shirtless snap from his recent fishing trip to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday and accompanied the post with the Morgan Wallen track, Hope That's True.
Wallen sings to a former flame: 'Yeah, I loved you for a minute, but we dance sure different. It's been a week since you went and hit the highway and made it clear that I oughta have it my way... But when you say that I ain't ever gonna find nobody just like you, I hope that's true.'
Bundchen and Valente met in December 2021 when she sought out jiu-jitsu training for her son. She then decided to take classes too.
They first sparked romance rumors when they were pictured together in Costa Rica in November 2022, just two weeks after her divorce was finalized.
She denied they were romantically involved.
News that they were dating was confirmed publicly in February when DailyMail.com revealed exclusive footage of the pair kissing on Valentine's Day.
Bundchen later confirmed she is dating again and divulged details about her new relationship for the first time in a candid interview with The New York Times, but did not name Valente.
'This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,' she admitted. 'It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent.’
She also denied cheating on Brady. 'That is a lie,' she told the outlet.'
