Tom Brady is expanding his snack time playbook.
The former NFL quarterback, who has previously made waves with his strict diet, shared a glimpse into his European vacation with his and ex Gisele Bündchen’stwokids Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, where he revealed his surprising meal choice: pizza topped with prosciutto and mozzarella.
“American by birth,” he wrote on the June 3 Instagram Story, per People, “Dutch by appetite.”
Indeed, Brady’s Dutch meal choice is certainly a break from the regimen he swore by as a football player, which included cutting out white sugar, white flour, caffeine, dairy, nightshades like tomatoes and more.
But while the seven-time Super Bowl winner has since loosened the reins on his diet, indulging in his cravings when he desires, there are some foods he is still a hard no on. Namely, of course, strawberries, though he’s stressed that it’s more of a personal preference.
“I just don’t like them. At the end of the day, I just don’t like the taste,” Brady, also dad to Jack, 17, with Bridget Moynahan admitted to People in a 2018 interview. “I don’t like the smell, the texture or anything. It doesn’t really have to do with my diet, it’s just more of my preference, but somehow it got wrapped into my diet.”
Amid keeping fans posted on his latest food and travel ventures, he’s also shared insight into his bonding time with his three kids—from family getaways to his and Jack’s father-son Coachella weekend in April.
“My kids naturally are gonna be faced with their own challenges, and they gotta figure out how to overcome them, too,” Brady said at November’s Fortune Global Forum. “And I’ll be there to support them a lot like my parents did. And I’ll be learning along the way right there with them.”
And although he’s been a father for nearly two decades, the former Superbowl champion confessed to the crowd, “being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have.”
