A dejected Tom Brady has touched down in Boston with wife Gisele Bundchen, their sons and close friends after the New England Patriots’ stunning loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at last night’s Super Bowl, exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com show.
Tom, 40, flew in Under Armour’s private jet from Minneapolis today along with Gisele; their children Vivian, Benjamin and John; Tom’s trainer, Alex Guerrero; his sister, Nancy, and her husband.
Daughter Vivian was shown supporting her father by wearing a Patriots pin. Tom kept his head down as he exited the plane.
Brady is scheduled to meet with team management to work out multiple issues involving a new contract for his trainer and a contract extension for himself.
Meanwhile, wife Gisele has been quietly telling friends and family that she hopes her husband will retire soon, sources say.

‘The belief is Bill Belichick will be back, Tom Brady will be back and of course Robert Kraft will be as well.
‘But things to work out include what to do about Alex Guerrero, Tom Brady’s trainer, how to get over some of the angst involving the trade of Jimmy Garoppolo…and then does Tom Brady get a contract extension?’, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said. Tom’s current contract expires in two years.
The plane ride comes after Tom’s Brazilian supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, rushed to her husband’s side after his disappointing loss in Super Bowl LII on Sunday, while graciously congratulating members of the winning Eagles squad.
The former Victoria’s Secret model sipped red wine while she watched the game with their three children from a box at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota Sunday night.
But when a fumble by Brady in the final seconds of the game ended all chances of a Patriots comeback, Bundchen brought the kids downstairs to meet their father the second he came off the field.
Meanwhile, PEOPLE reports, she has been expressing hope that Tom will soon retire.
‘Gisele always supports Tom no matter what,’ a source told PEOPLE. But another said she has ‘been telling friends for a couple years now that she would like him to reture and just be able to be at home.
‘But he is so committed to the game.’

A USA Today Sports reporter who was in the tunnel when the losing Patriots team came off the field says the couple’s two youngest kids – five-year-old Vivian and eight-year-old Benjamin – were so distraught at their father’s loss that they started to cry.
Bundchen used the moment to try and teach her kids a lesson about being a good sport.
When Vivian cried out that the Eagles had won, her mother responded: ‘Just this time. Daddy won five times. They never won before.’
‘Their whole life, they never won a Super Bowl. You have to let someone else win sometimes,’ Bundchen said.
‘Sometimes you have to let other people win…We have to share. Sharing is caring,’ she added.

Brady’s eldest child, 10-year-old John, stood stoically next to his step-mom.
A few minutes later, Brady walked off the field to cheers of ‘Daddy!’ from his three kids.
Brady then walked over to his family and got down on one knee to speak to his kids.
On Monday, Bundchen posted a picture of the moment she and an emotional Brady embraced when he walked off the field.
‘Congratulations Eagles for winning the Super bowl, what a game that was! Congratulations Patriots for giving your best and to my love, we are incredibly proud of you because we are able to see ever day all the commitment, sacrifice and hard work that you have devoted to become the best in what you do. We love you!’ she captioned the photo.

Yahoo Sports columnist Dan Wetzel tweeted that Bundchen congratulated every Eagles player she came across as she walked through the stadium Sunday night.
‘Gisele, walking a back hallway to leave the stadium, took time to personally congratulate every Eagles player she ran into. They looked star struck,’ Wetzel wrote.
Bundchen’s gracious display was a change from the last time the Patriots lost a Super Bowl.
After the 2012 loss to the New York Giants, Bundchen was recorded blaming the Patriots receivers for dropping so many of her husband’s passes.
‘My husband cannot f****** throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,’ she said at the time.
Those comments came back to bite Bundchen on Sunday, when her husband dropped a pass in a trick play in the second quarter.
Social media exploded with posts referencing Bunchen’s comments.
‘Gisele is right…apparently her husband can’t catch the ball,’ a Twitter user named Ralph wrote.

While Gisele is being lauded for her graceful reaction to the loss this year, the same cannot be said for her husband, who rushed off the field before going and shake the hand of rival quarterback Nick Foles, as is tradition.
He was also criticized for his post-game press conference, where he attributed the Eagles’ win to ‘a good play at the right time’.
As anyone who watched the game can attest to, the Eagles win had a lot moer to do with one simple play.
DailyMail.com Editor-at-Large Piers Morgan found Brady’s comments lacking in sportsmanship.
‘That was it, the full staggeringly churlish scale of his appreciation of his opponents’ thrilling win,’ Morgan wrote.
Brady rushed off the field but did eventually congratulate at least one Eagles player in person.
One journalist snapped a picture of Brady shaking the hand of Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett outside the teams’ locker rooms.
