Tom Brady recently posted to social media for the first time since news surfaced about Gisele Bündchen’s new marriage.
The former quarterback shared a series of selfies on his Instagram story that included a surprising musical choice.
He chose the song "1-800-273-8255" by Logic, which takes its name from the former National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number.
The lyrics of the track discuss feelings of despair and a loss of control over one's life. This choice has caused many fans and followers to question his current state of mind.
The posts appeared shortly after reports confirmed that Gisele Bündchen married her partner, Joaquim Valente, in an intimate ceremony on December 3.
The couple also recently welcomed their first child together. In his first photo, Tom Brady wore a white hoodie with the words "Forever Young" printed on the front.
In the second image, he displayed his fitness in athletic gear.
He used the same somber track for both images, which many people find unusual given the upbeat nature of his typical social media presence.
While Tom Brady has not explained why he chose that specific song, the timing has led to much speculation online.
Some believe he is simply expressing his emotions regarding the major changes in his family life. Others think he may just enjoy the melody or the message of hope that the song eventually provides.
Regardless of his intent, the posts have sparked a conversation about mental health and the challenges of moving on after a high-profile divorce.
Tom Brady continues to focus on his various business interests and his new career in broadcasting. He spent a significant portion of the last year adjusting to life after professional football.
While his ex-wife starts a new chapter in Florida, the legendary athlete remains busy with his own projects and his children.
His followers continue to watch his social media closely for any further updates or clarifications.
Many people hope that the choice of song was merely a coincidence rather than a sign of personal distress.
