Tom Brady has always been a devoted dad, and this Valentine’s weekend was no exception—he chose to spend it with the real loves of his life: his kids.
The former NFL star, 47, shared a sweet selfie from a ski trip with his daughter, Vivian Lake, 12, calling her “My forever Valentine” in an Instagram Story on Monday, February 17.
Vivian is the youngest of Brady’s three children and his only daughter. He also shares son Benjamin Rein, 14, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, and his eldest, John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 17, with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Meanwhile, Vivian and Benjamin recently gained a new half-sibling—Bündchen and her boyfriend, Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, welcomed a baby boy earlier this month. News of the former supermodel’s third child broke on February 6, though his name hasn’t been revealed yet.
Brady and Bündchen, who divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, have always prioritized their children, sharing joint custody. When announcing their split, Brady made it clear that their kids remain at the heart of their lives, writing, “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”
The football legend is no stranger to expressing his love for his kids on social media. In December 2024, he marked Vivian’s 12th birthday with a heartfelt tribute:
“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!”
Brady also took a moment to reflect on his gratitude over Thanksgiving, sharing a sweet post that read, “Thankful for this crew,” with a heart emoji.
In a 2023 interview with People, Brady called his kids his “biggest blessing,” adding, “Man, your kids teach you so much. You get to learn through new experiences with them.”
While his personal life has been making headlines, Brady has also been making waves professionally. Just days after his ex welcomed her new baby, he made his Super Bowl commentary debut, calling the game as the Philadelphia Eagles took down the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brady had signed a massive $375 million contract with Fox Sports back in 2022 but postponed his broadcasting career for one final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before officially retiring—again—in February 2023.
Whether on the field or off, one thing is clear: for Brady, family always comes first.
