Regrets, Tom Brady has a few.

A year after getting raked over the coals during Netflix’s “Greatest Roast of All Time,” the NFL legend is coming clean.

During a Tuesday appearance on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, the retired NFL legend, 47, admitted it probably wasn’t his best move.

As viewers may recall, top comics took relentless aim at Brady one after the other. Many of the jokes revolved around his divorce from Gisele Bundchen.

“You have seven rings,” Nikki Glaser told the Super Bowl champ. “Well, eight, now that Gisele gave hers back.”

“She f---ed that karate man,” cracked Kevin Hart, the host. “Eight karate classes a day, and she’s still a white belt?”

Bundchen, who was dating jiu jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente at the time of the show, recently gave birth to their first child, a son.

The 44-year-old supermodel was reportedly “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family,” calling the broadcast “irresponsible content,” People magazine reported. There were rumors that the fallout caused tension in her relationship with Valente.

Brady realizes now that the roast, although enjoyable for him, likely hurt the two kids he shares with Bundchen, Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12.

“There’s some things as a parent you f--- up, and you don’t realize until after,” he said on the podcast. “We’re not perfect parents... there’s no perfect manual for it.”

So, Bundchen was apparently not the only one who wasn’t crazy about the NSFW show.

“I’ll never forget when I talked to my kids the next day,” Brady said. “I felt like a stake through the heart, understandably.”
