Tom Brady‘s epic football career includes what seems like an endless string of Super Bowl wins. The San Mateo, California native, 45, has played in a whopping ten Super Bowl games between 2002 and 2021, playing stints with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He began his career in earnest during college, playing for the Michigan State Wolverines. The quarterback is also famous for his steamy relationship with his wife of 13 years, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 42, and his more-than-passing interest in former President Donald Trump.
Controversial politics aside, Tom is the father of three, including his eldest Jack, 15, whose mom is ex Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin Rein, 12, and Vivian Lake, 9, with Gisele. But his legacy as an NFL football great is truly his overarching achievement. Here’s our breakdown of every single time Tom Brady took home a coveted Super Bowl ring.
Super Bowl XXXVI (2002)
Tom was just 24 years old when he won his inaugural Super Bowl. The game was held in the Louisiana Superdome on February 3, 2002, and the New England Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams, 20-17. According to the game’s Wikipedia page, Tom visited head coach Bill Belichick‘s hotel room after the win and asked him if he could visit Disney World in Florida instead of boarding the team flight. “Of course you can go,” he famously responded. “How many times do you win the Super Bowl?”
Super Bowl XXXVIII (2004)
As it turned out, Tom would go to the Super Bowl many more times. In fact, it would be only two years later that he would return to the annual game and face off against the Carolina Panthers, beating them by another three-point margin of 32-29 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium on February 1, 2004. But Super Bowl 38 certainly wouldn’t turn out to be Tom’s most memorable trip to the game of all games.
A “wardrobe malfunction” scandal involving half time performers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake would ultimately steal the thunder, creating a long-lasting controversy and becoming a talking point for years to come.
