Gareth Bale (36 years old), the former player from Real Madrid, has shone in the past, now enjoying the life of a sports pension. He did not completely give up football, but he spends his family most. At the same time, he accepted a special role, which he gladly plays for his children.
One of the most important players in the history of Welsh football has managed to win the Champions League with Real Madrid, triumphed three times at the World Club Championship and raised above the head and UEFA Super Cup. He left the Royal Club in 2022 and headed for the North American MLS, where he played his last season.
What Gareth Bale does after withdrawing from football: “I have many children, so I have to do a lot on the taxi driver”
In 2023 he ended his footballer career, but he certainly does not get bored. “I simply spend my time with my family and I enjoy it,” said the former striker, according to the Spanish daily, quoted by sport.Aaktuality.sk. Gareth Bale has been married since 2019 with his childhood girlfriend, Emma Rhys-Jones.
In the United States, he continues to dedicate himself to football and, starting this season, is an expert TV for the Premier League and the Champions League at TNT Sports. At the same time, he discovered a new passion, the bay.
However, what holds him the most in the socket are his four children, between the ages of 4 and 12. Bale is glad that he no longer has to be gone every weekend and can watch how they grow. “I feel like I lost a lot when I was still a player,” he admits retrospect.
But there is something that probably didn't expect. When it comes to his children, he now has an important role – he has to make the driver. “I have many children, so I have to work a lot as a taxi driver. But yes, sometimes I meet with my friends and give me time to relax,” explained the 36 -year -old Welsh.
Although it seems that it does not lack the time spent as a professional footballer, his passion for this sport persists. Gareth Bale even considers to return to the world of football in his native country, as a co -owner of the Cardiff City team.
