“I’m retiring - for good. I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first.

“It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.

“Thank you to every single one of you for supporting me - my family, my friends, my team-mates, my competitors. I could go on forever - there’s too many.

“Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream, I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.”

Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen announced their split last year.

They share son Benjamin, 13, daughter Vivian, 10, as well as son Jack, 15, from one of Brady’s previous relationships.
