“I have gained valuable knowledge from my Dad on parenting, and it is important for me to pass that wisdom on to my children, Jack, Benny, and Vivi," wrote Tom Brady, the former NFL star, on Instagram on Father's Day. He shared pictures of his father, Tom Brady Sr., and his three kids on Sunday, June 18. Brady admitted that he is still striving to be more present in his children's lives and to cherish every moment they have together as a family, as he believes that is what truly matters.
After retiring from the NFL in February, Brady expressed his joy as a father to his three children. His eldest son, Jack, was born in 2007 from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan. Following his marriage to Gisele Bündchen in 2009, the couple welcomed their son Benjamin in December of the same year, and their daughter Vivian in 2012. Brady shares that being a dad is the most fulfilling aspect of his life and he takes pride in his children's selflessness, which he believes is a reflection of the positive influences in their lives. He expresses gratitude to his own father and appreciates the immense pleasure of being a dad to his three amazing kids.

Brady recently expressed his delight in witnessing his children's growth both emotionally and physically. He has a wall in his home where he measures their height on different dates, and he was surprised to discover that each of them had grown two inches in just two months. This growth spurt introduced him to the joy of being present in their lives. In addition, his kids have also introduced him to new hobbies such as music and horse riding, which he has found to be incredibly fulfilling as a parent.
Since retiring from football, Brady has made it his top priority to focus on "the things that mean the most." He expressed his desire to spend time with his children and family, travel, engage in new experiences, and stay busy with his work. This Father's Day tribute follows his heartfelt Mother's Day post dedicated to his exes. Brady had a relationship with Moynahan from 2004 to 2006, and his marriage to Bündchen ended in October 2022 after over ten years.
Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible women who have brought so much joy and love into our family's lives. In a heartfelt slideshow posted on May 14, we see glimpses of his mother, Galynn Patricia Brady, and his sisters Maureen, Julie, and Nancy Brady.
With deep gratitude, he expresses his appreciation for their unwavering love, compassion, and kindness. These remarkable women have not only been a source of inspiration but have also set an extraordinary example for the younger generation. Their support and encouragement have played a significant role in helping us achieve our dreams.
On this special day, he extends his wishes to all the mothers around the world, hoping they enjoy a memorable day surrounded by those who cherish and love them deeply.
