Tom Brady has never exactly blended into the background, but his post‑marriage chapter is turning into a whole new kind of spotlight. Now his longtime partner in crime, Rob Gronkowski, is pulling back the curtain on what life looks like for the quarterback as a newly single legend. According to the tight end who knows him best, Brady is not moping at home.
Instead, Gronkowski says the future Hall of Famer has leaned into his freedom, filling his calendar with nights out, new circles and a looser schedule than fans ever saw during his most intense NFL years. The picture that emerges is not reckless, but it is a clear shift from the hyper regimented “Married Tom Brady” era.
‘Single Tom Brady’ vs. ‘Married Tom Brady’
Rob Gronkowski has always been the rare teammate who can joke about Tom Brady without sounding disrespectful, and he is using that license to draw a sharp line between Brady’s married life and his current one. In a recent conversation, the retired tight end, who is listed as Rob Gronkowski Says, framed “Single Tom Brady” as “more fun” than “Married Tom Brady,” a comparison that instantly lit up social media. The implication is not that Brady was miserable before, but that the guardrails are off now that he is not juggling a household on top of his public life.
That contrast carries extra weight coming from someone who spent years catching passes from Brady and sharing locker rooms, flights and off‑day dinners. Gronkowski, who is identified as Rob Gronkowski in league records, has always been the more openly wild personality, yet he is now painting Brady as the one who is suddenly the life of the party. That role reversal is part of why his comments about “Single Tom Brady” being “more fun than” “Married Tom Brady” and “Going Out Every Weekend” landed with such force, especially once they were echoed in a separate piece credited to Anna Lazarus Capla.
Going out ‘every weekend’ and the new Brady routine
The headline detail from Gronkowski’s recent round of comments is simple and vivid: he says Tom Brady is “going out every weekend.” That line, repeated across multiple write‑ups, is Gronk’s shorthand for a social calendar that looks very different from the nights of film study and early bedtimes that defined Brady’s peak years. One report on Single Tom Brady notes that keeping up with his new pace has practically become a storyline of its own, with friends joking about how often he is out.
Gronkowski has not mapped out every venue or city, but the pattern he describes is clear: Brady is no longer the guy ducking out early from dinners to make a 5 a.m. workout. Instead, he is embracing late nights and spontaneous plans in a way that would have been unthinkable when he was still the face of the Tom Brady era Patriots and Buccaneers. Coverage of his outings has even been folded into celebrity style chatter, with one piece filed under “More Page Six Style” describing how Rob Gronkowski framed Brady’s weekends as a steady stream of nights out.
Another account of the same remarks, which also highlights Tom Bra as the focus, leans on the same “every weekend” phrasing, underscoring how central that idea is to the new Brady narrative. A separate write‑up on Tom Brady’s single life repeats Gronkowski’s description almost verbatim, treating it as the defining snapshot of this phase.
The inside jokes, TV reveal and what Gronk really meant
The most detailed version of Gronkowski’s commentary came when he sat down for a television interview and was pressed directly on which version of Brady is more fun. During an appearance on Today on Thursday, the host asked Gronkowski which Brady he preferred to hang out with, single or married, and Gronk did not hesitate before picking the current version. Another account specifies that this happened On Thursday, when the retired tight end, 36, sat down with Craig Melvin on Today and described how the dynamic between him and Brady has shifted now that they are not sharing a huddle every week.
That same interview is also cited in another recap that again notes that, On Thursday, the retired tight end, 36, joined Craig Melvin on Today and leaned into the idea that Brady is “definitely more fun” when he is single. A separate summary of the exchange, which notes that Thursday was the day Gronkowski was asked which version of Brady is more fun, frames the whole moment as a kind of friendly ambush that Gronk turned into a punchline.
