Tom Brady Admits He'll 'Pout and Whine' to Get Attention From Wife Gisele Bundchen

— -- Tom Brady is a star NFL quarterback who's garnered plenty of attention for throwing touchdowns.

Off the field, however, he gets recognition for throwing hissy fits.

"I like attention from [my wife, Gisele Bündchen], so when I’m not getting it I let her know in immature ways, like a young, immature child would," he told Man of the World magazine for its latest cover story. "You throw fits and you pout and you whine until you get what you want."

"[But] she’s on to me. She knows all of my tricks," he continued. "So now I have to learn new tricks!"

Brady, 37, has been married to Bündchen, 34, since 2009. Their oldest child, Benjamin, was born that December, while their daughter, Vivian, came along three years later. (Brady also has an 8-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.)

These days, the supermodel's expectations of Brady are high ("I’m a guy, what doesn’t she get on me for?" he joked. "That’s just what wives do!") but she told "Good Morning America" that she's always rooting him on.

"He's a wonderful man and he's so supportive. It's great that way," she gushed. "I'm his biggest fan and I think it goes both ways."
