The seven-time Super Bowl champ, who famously kept up a rigid diet during his playing days, has seemingly relaxed his food restrictions in the years since he has retired, he said in an interview on CNBC<\/a>, shared on Tuesday, March 31.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s moderation in all things, and I think there\u2019s probably been, people have gone kinda overboard with the rigidity of my lifestyle or diet,\u201d Brady, 48, said. \u201cI have kids and I have Halloweens and birthday parties and we\u2019re like a normal family, so I try to make really healthy choices as often as possible. But when you\u2019re watching football games and you\u2019re at games, you’re traveling and you’re in airports, I understand the reality of life as well.\u201d<\/p>\n In the interview, Brady talked about his partnership with Ferrero, whose chocolate candies Brady said he enjoys. In one commercial tied to the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, the former New England Patriots signal-caller chomps on a Nestle Crunch bar and Butterfinger, among other Ferrero products.<\/p>\n Brady added that he also offers treats to his kids: Jack, 18, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan<\/a>, and Benjamin Rein<\/a>, 16, and Vivian Lake<\/a>, 13, whom he shares with ex-wife Gisele B\u00fcndchen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Tom Brady at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on March 21. \u201cI make Nutella pancakes for my kids,\u201d Brady shared. \u201cWhen we were over in Milan for the Olympics we were eating Nutella pizzas.\u201d<\/p>\n To counter all the sugar, the Fox Sports lead analyst said he makes sure that he still exercises “a lot” and drinks plenty of water.<\/p>\n![\"Tom](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2c67f62ba140555eb938963de2008ffe.jpeg\"\/)
