FOLLOWING the retirement of NFL superstar Tom Brady, many have been left wondering whether his farewell message held a cryptic message aimed at ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.
Brady and Gisele announced their split in October of last year.
In a statement at the time, Brady said the decision for the divorce was "amicable".
In his latest farewell, an emotional Brady told fans: "I'll get to the point right away. I'm retiring. For good.
"I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so I woke up this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first so, it won't be long winded.
"You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much for supporting me.

"My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors - I could go on forever, there's too many.
"Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change a thing. Love you all."
However, some fans have speculated that Brady's decision to retire for a second time is directly linked to his recent divorce, with others believing a message was aimed straight at his ex-wife.
One fan on Twitter wrote: "Is Brady taking a shot at Gisele when he closes out that video? He certainly changed his tone when he said, 'And I wouldn’t change a thing'.”
