Tom Brady wrote that he is 'so proud' of his son.
In an Instagram post, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady praised his son for his humor and his passion. “I’m so proud of the young man you are … You’re a student, artist, athlete, musician, and teammate … but most of all you’re the best brother and son anyone could ask for,” Tom wrote.
“You pour so much into everything you do, and it shows in the way you inspire others around you,” he continued. “Thanks for always making us laugh …. Even when you’re not supposed to! I can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll continue to achieve. Dad loves you sooooooooo much!”
In her shoutout to Benjamin, Gisele noted that he's an extremely caring teen.
Supermodel Gisele shared her tribute to her son via her Instagram Stories. “Happy birthday to the sweetest and funniest boy on earth!” Gisele wrote over one of the photos of Benjamin that she shared.
She shared two additional photos, including one of Benjamin hugging his sister. “You have the biggest heart and it’s amazing to see you grow into an incredible young man,” Gisele wrote over that photo.
The last photo she shared was one of her and Benjamin when he was younger. She captioned it with, “Ti amo muito,” which means, “I love you very much.”

In 2023, Gisele revealed that Benjamin is following in his dad's footsteps.
In 2019, Tom spoke to Men’s Health about how his son Benjamin didn’t have much of an interest in sports at first. “I was like ‘C’mon, let’s do this.’ And he was like ‘Nope,’ and I was like ‘What? No, do this,'” Tom explained at the time. “And Gisele kept saying to me, ‘Understand that your son is different.'”
It ended up being a great lesson for Tom. “It’s actually great because now I just go do what he wants to do and when we do that we have the best time,” he said.
But in 2023, Gisele shared that Benjamin decided to play football for the first time. She also spoke about the joy of witnessing her children grow into “their own beings.” “It makes me proud to see how they’re all becoming their own little individual selves, but how their principles and their values are so strong,” Gisele told People.
On December 5, Tom and Gisele celebrated their daughter's birthday.
Their daughter Vivian, who just turned 12, recently celebrated her birthday as well. Tom shared several photos of his daughter on Instagram on December 5, writing, “Happy 12th birthday to my forever baby girl. Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life. Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life! Here’s to a great day filled with all the laughter and love that you deserve. I love you infinity x infinity!!!”
Gisele shared a series of photos to her Instagram Stories, writing, “Happy birthday to my ray of sunshine.” She continued with, “You are the best daughter a mom could ever ask for, and I’m so blessed to be your mama!”
Gisele Bündchen is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
Benjamin and Vivian will soon have another sibling, as their mom is expecting her third child and her first with her current boyfriend. People first reported the pregnancy news on October 28, citing an unnamed source. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” the source told the publication at the time. Benjamin and Vivian reportedly “really like” Joaquim.
