Tom Brady is making the most of his retirement, even if it’s just for a day.
On a sunny day in the Hamptons, retired NFL legend Tom Brady, 46, joined friends Travis Scott, Damar Hamlin, Quavo, and C.J. Stroud for a rousing game of beach pickup football. The event took place on the Fourth of July, a prelude to entrepreneur Michael Rubin’s star-studded White Party.
The beach game was captured in a video shared by Rubin on Instagram, showcasing the fun and friendly competition. “Pre White Party mini camp… getting our reps in and our body right 😂 let’s go,” Rubin wrote, emphasizing the casual and enjoyable atmosphere. Brady, who celebrated his mom’s birthday earlier in the day with a heartfelt tribute, was seen picking his team amidst jokes and laughter.
“All types of skill levels over here,” the former quarterback quipped as the group moved across the sand, ready for some fun. The spirit of camaraderie was evident, especially when Travis Scott, 33, scored a touchdown from a pass by Brady, running down the beach with a triumphant cheer, “What it look like?”.
The video sparked excitement online, with fans quick to react. “Catching a pass from Brady on the beach is epic,” one fan commented, while another added, “Imagine walking up the beach in the Hamptons and this pickup game is going on. I would actually die.”
Not just any beach party, Rubin’s White Party is an annual tradition that brings together a dazzling mix of A-list guests from various fields. Since its inception in 2021, it’s been likened to the Met Gala for its exclusive guest list and high-profile attendees. Last year’s event saw the likes of athletes like Brady, James Harden, Kylian Mbappé, Grammy winners Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lopez.
Also mingling at the event were top models Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Bieber, along with influencers such as Dixie D’Amelio and Alix Earle. Keeping the energy high, the event also features surprise musical performances. Notable artists like Ne-Yo and Usher have been part of the entertainment lineup in previous years.
Reflecting on his passion for hosting, Rubin shared in a 2021 profile with Insider, “One of the things I love doing is putting great people together. I have a lot of friends with different backgrounds.” This philosophy shines through in the diverse and vibrant mix of attendees at his gatherings, which have become a highlight of the summer social calendar.
The day’s activities not only provided entertainment but also underscored the significance of enjoying life and nurturing friendships, even for those as accomplished as Tom Brady. With laughter, playful banter, and shared moments of joy, the beach game was a reminder that there’s always room for a bit of fun, no matter how busy life gets.
