Hey there, sports fans. Let’s talk about one of the most iconic moments in family sports time. Picture this: Hut, hut, hike! Tom Brady, the legendary NFL star, decided to take a break from the glitz and glamour of professional football to enjoy a game of backyard football with his daughter, Vivian Lake. This heartwarming moment was captured and shared on Instagram Story on May 12. The proud dad captioned it, "My cutest receiver, that’s for sure." At 42, Tom Brady continues to prove that his love for football isn’t just limited to the field—it extends to the backyard too, where the most important fans are his family.

Now, here's where things get even more adorable. Tom, ever the playful dad, added another clip in the story with a playful tone: “This little girl. No, you can’t play in the game!” But let’s be real, Vivian, who’s 7, dressed in a helmet and shoulder pads, is already proving she’s got what it takes. She’s not just any kid; she’s the daughter of one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Clearly, she takes after her dad, showing off her athletic prowess even at such a young age. It’s moments like these that remind us how sports can bring families together in the most unexpected ways.
A New Chapter in Tom Brady's Life
Back in March, Tom made a huge decision that sent shockwaves through the sports world. After 20 years with the New England Patriots, Tom announced he was leaving the team and his home in Massachusetts. That’s right, folks, the man who shared Vivian and 10-year-old son Benjamin with supermodel Gisele Bündchen decided it was time for a change. His post on Instagram was heartfelt and reflective. He wrote, “My children were born and raised here, and you always embraced this California kid as your own.” Tom’s connection with the Patriots and the city of Boston runs deep, and it’s clear he’s leaving with a heavy heart but an open mind for what’s next.

Tom went on to express his gratitude to the fans, saying, “I love your commitment and loyalty to your teams, and winning for our city means more than you’ll ever know.” He also has a son, Jack, with ex-wife Bridget Moynahan, who’s 12 years old. It’s clear that Tom values the relationships he’s built over the years, both on and off the field.
Gisele’s Support for Tom’s New Adventure
Gisele Bündchen, Tom’s wife since 2009, was nothing short of supportive when it came to Tom’s decision to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida. In a heartfelt post, she wrote, “What a ride the last decade has been.” Gisele acknowledged the special bond they’ve formed with the city of Boston, saying, “Boston has been so good to us and will always be in our hearts. We will forever have wonderful memories. Our kids were born and raised there, and we have made special friendships to last a lifetime.”
As the family adjusts to their new normal during the quarantine period amid the coronavirus pandemic, Gisele, Tom, and their two children are in isolation together, while Jack is staying with Bridget Moynahan. Tom shared a sweet moment on Instagram, captioning a photo of himself on FaceTime with Jack, “Missing my boy,” along with two heart-eyed emojis.
Tom’s Journey as a Dad
Tom has been open about the challenges and joys of parenting. He admitted that he and Jack share the most in common, which sometimes made it difficult for him to connect with Benjamin, his younger son. In an interview with Men’s Health, Tom revealed, “When Benny came along, I thought he would be just like Jack. So I was like, ‘C’mon, let’s do this.’ And he was like, ‘Nope.’ And I was like, ‘What? No, do this!’” But with encouragement from Gisele, Tom learned to adjust, and now they’re all one big happy family.
