For the first time since the mid-2000s, Tom Brady won’t be spending Thanksgiving with his wife after they divorced last month.

Brady was asked about his plans for the holiday during his latest podcast episode.

“Thanksgiving, it’s always time for family,” Brady said, via Us Weekly. “When you think about this holiday and the commitment that parents make and that my parents made to me and my career is unbelievable. You know what I mean?

“It’s just, I’m here in my 23rd season, looking forward to finishing strong here after Thanksgiving, and obviously with a lot of gratitude for the people that have made such a huge impact in my life and supported me throughout this amazing career.”

Brady added that he wants to be “the best dad” possible for his kids.
